Even if you have a standing chair at home, a portable unit is always helpful and handy. It is useful when you travel and also, if you want to feed your baby outside or anywhere else. Standing chairs can be cumbersome to move around and they take up space. A portable chair may be a good investment for you.
They provide a great service especially when you are out with the family for a meal. They are safe and easy to clean plus you can set them almost anywhere. They can be used easily in picnics or in a restaurant where they do not have small chairs for children.
They are similar to car seats but have several differences including the facility to wash them even with a hose. Many brands and types are available for your review. Some of them are made of hard plastic but they fit perfectly in your car trunk, others are inflatable and will fold to fit in suitcases or very small spaces. Chose the model you want depending on the portability you need, they will all serve the same purpose and have the same basic security features to keep your baby well out of danger.
They also differ in shape and form. Some portable models can be clipped to the table at a restaurant or dinner. These will usually clip onto a square or rectangular table for better support not on a round table. This will depend on many factors including the table's thickness. Other portable models can be strapped to an adult size chair. Again they will not fit on all the chairs in every restaurant but there is usually a way to make them stay in place unless the chair is strangely designed. So when buying one try to find a model which will fit in standard tables and/or chairs.
The main point is to buy a chair that has all the safety features recommended by the industry standards. The first concern is, that it be designed for your baby' height and weight. These chairs are designed for specific sizes and ages. Some will sit toddlers and children up to six years old, others wont. These chairs are too general and a very small child could fall off. It is better if during your child's life you buy several chairs which are designed for his age and avoid any possible accidents. Keeping your child safe is the main concern to all of us.
Cleaning the chair must be a second consideration after safety. Chairs with absorbent material are not a good idea because all children spill food and many of them create real disasters while eating. You should be able to wipe the chair clean or if necessary hose it down after a meal. The right materials will allow you to do this; this does not mean you should buy a simple plastic chair. There are many materials that will repel liquids and will not absorb food that are also comfortable and soft the baby's touch and skin.
Portable chairs have other features which might interest you. Eating trays will help when you are travelling to places where you are not sure of the sanitary conditions of eating places. Even if you are sure, it is better and healthier for the baby to eat on his own table or tray. You do not want him putting his hands on a table that has not been properly clean and then putting them in his mouth. Other chairs have different positions too, this will allow you to feed the baby comfortably and to move the backrest to put him in or take him out without any problem.
A portable chair is less expensive than a standing chair. Due to the fact that the baby is growing and will not fit into it for too long it is a good idea to buy a portable chair. They are inexpensive and easier to store when the baby does not fit into them anymore. A portable chair can be used at home too in the same manner that you use it in a restaurant so you only need to buy one chair for all the baby's feeding needs.
