10 of the Best Feeding Booster Seats in Australia in 2024
Got a fussy eater on your hands? Or perhaps your toddler has mastered the art of escaping their highchair. Feeding booster seats, especially booster seats for dining tables are a great way to keep wiggly little bottoms at the dinner table.
If you already have a highchair, you might think you have no need for a booster seat…yet. However, booster seats can be used for babies as young as six months up to about 4 years old. Basically, as soon as your baby can sit up by themselves, they can use a booster seat.
The key difference between a highchair and a booster chair is that the booster is compact, portable, and usually grows with your child – making it a worthwhile investment.
Not quite sure what is best for your child? Well, pull up a chair! We’ve hand-picked 10 of the best feeding booster seats for 2024 you can find in Australia.
Function
The type of seat you need will depend on the age and stage of your child. Some seats are equipped with a removable tray and a safety harness, designed to grow with bub from as young as 6 months old. This means you can often use the seat for play as well as feeding.
If your kids are toddlers or pre-school age, you might be looking for a more compact booster seat that simply gives your child a little extra height and independence at the dining table.
There are also plenty of lightweight, travel-friendly options that are great for camping, picnics, and a day at the beach.
Safety
Keeping bub safe is paramount, so if you’re using a booster seat for young babies make sure it has a three or five-point harness to keep them safely strapped in. Most boosters also come with adjustable straps to secure the seat to your dining chair. Always read the instructions and make sure you’re using it correctly.
Finally, feeding booster chairs should only be used on the ground, or strapped to a dining chair – not on a kitchen bench or table, where bub could fall. And always supervise bub while in the seat.
Cleaning
Babies and toddlers are notoriously messy eaters, so you want a booster seat that is easy to clean and preferably dishwasher-friendly. Often the simpler the design, the easier to clean, with minimal crevices for food and crumbs to get caught.
Portable
The beauty of a feeding booster seat is that they are great for travel, whether that be on holidays, visiting the grandparents, or going out to a restaurant. With this in mind, look for a seat that is lightweight and folds down or packs away neatly.
