I need a highchair type thingy to take with me when me and eddie go to pubs etc (I am a lady who lunches!) but dont know what to get.

What do you have and is it any good?

I have a baboz - http://www.baboz.com.au/highchair.html

I got it on ebay and it is fantastic!!Bump to 3 do them to (see links directory)

It folds down into a little bag that fits in my baby bag - its about 6 inches by 3 inches when folded and it fits all the chairs I've tried. I like it cos it has straps that go over Ellas shoulders as well as round her waste so she can't fall over and escape!!

Its probably the best thing I've bought. We took it will us to Devon when we stalked Flopsy and Sam, and used it in the b and b, Jo's house, the cafe where we had lunch - its fab!!!

Can't praise it enough.

With Ethan we had the mamas and papas booster seat, I bought it from Boots. Also I saw another booster seat in there the other day which folded down in to a bag.

erm...stupid question time!  Why can't Ed just sit in a highchair that the pub provides? 

I've not taken Ellie in one yet where they've not had a highchair and if they don't have one, I would think that they don't want a baby there?!

Madz, I've tried to find a pic of her in it, but I can't. grrrrrrrrr

Its very safe as it has straps over her shoulders and round her middle - so she can't go anywhere. Also, I pull her up to the table. Like Sam says, its very secure and Ella doesn't mind sitting in it. It folds up really small too.

I will try and take a pic of her in it tomorrow and post it for you!!
