Editorial Review

The Cooshie Booster is a second cousin to those hard-plastic booster seats provided in restaurants. The chief advantage of the Cooshie is its semisoft foam construction: firm enough for support, but both lightweight and comfortable. It's also short in the back (3 inches of seat padding plus 3 inches of back makes it 6 inches high); this is something of a compromise between portability and back support. Overall dimensions are 13 inches deep by 6 inches high by 14 inches wide; that's a little bulky to drag around to restaurants, perhaps, but ideal for making use of big-people chairs at home. Another advantage over the hard-plastic booster: the stippled foam won't slide around on a wooden chair. A not-very-durable tote bag is included. --Richard Farr

Baby Smarts Cooshie Booster seat's slip-proof surface is a cinch to clean. Its nonporous surface won't absorb spilled liquids. Great for home or take along to a restaurant

My daughter received this booster seat for her 3rd birthday and I think it's wonderful. Every other booster seat I've seen has to be strapped to the chair, which allows crumbs and other food pieces to accumulate under it, and has to be unbuckled every time you need to clean under it. The Cooshie is made of a non-skid material and stays put on the chair. Since it doesn't have straps, it becomes very easy to free up the chair for visitors, when necessary, without worrying that there's a pile of crumbs (or worse) underneath. It's also easy to take this booster to restaurants or other places (it comes with a clear plastic travel bag). Other boosters tend to be made of hard plastic and can scratch the chair it's attached to. We have oak chairs, so this was a problem for us. The Cooshie's soft foam material does not scratch or leave other marks. At 3 years old, my daughter was at the point where she was too big for the high chair. She enjoys sitting at the table, but she's just not big enough to reach without kneeling (and she's not yet graceful enough to sit on a chair without taking a tumble every now and then). The Cooshie raises her high enough without constraining her yet keeps her in a stable sitting position so she doesn't fall or slip off the chair. It seems to be very durable too. My 14-month old has 8 front teeth & is currently teething. He tried to take a bite out of the Cooshie and didn't even leave a mark! The only drawback I can see is that my daughter needs to be helped into and out of her seat. When she was just kneeling on a chair, she was able to climb onto the chair by herself. A little bit of a damper on her autonomy, but I think the safety and comfort of this booster make it well worth it. I would continue to use a high chair or a booster with straps for a child who is too young or wreckless to wait for assistance in getting in/out.

5.0 out of 5 stars BACK FOR SECONDS, July 18, 2002

I bought the cooshie booster a month ago and we all love it. It gives enough lift for my petite 22 month old daughter to sit at the table like a big girl. The material makes it stick to our wooden chairs and never slides around. When dinner is over, I just wipe off the crumbs. There isn't any space under the seat for food to get trapped between the booster and the actual chair and you don't have to spend 5 minutes unhooking and rehooking straps just to clean it. I'm back to buy a second cooshie booster seat for grandma's house.

We bought this when our 2-year old moved from a high chair to a chair at the kitchen table. She had to kneel which shortened her interest in mealtime. She didn't like the hard plastic boosters so I bought this to try. It's great - comfortable and just high enough for her to sit and eat easily. Since there are no arms, it moves into the table easily too. The kitchen seat is fabric and it doesn't slide - it also stays put on wooden seats. She's three now and climbs up by herself. When we don't need it or we go out to eat we can move it without any straps or confusion. It wipes off nicely. We travel to my parents once a year so I bought a 2nd one to store there (rather carrying ANOTHER thing on a plane) and she was thrilled to see it waiting for her! It's durable enough to pass on to our 1 year old too!
