After reading reviews, I purchased this chair to use for travel and wanted to share my experience for other parents like me who read a gazillion reviews and agonize over whether they are making the right baby-product choice. I will say that it is well-designed, sturdy, well padded, with high-quality fabric, and a clever attached carry bag. However, after about 5 uses, I purchased a Fisher Price Healthy Care booster seat (at less than half the cost of the Fast Chair) and am going to sell the Fast Chair and hope I can recoup some of the cost. These are the reasons the Fast Chair did not work for us: it doesn't work on tables with a skirt, on pedestal tables, or on glass tables. That rules out the vast majority of restaurant tables, many of which have a central pedestal. It rules out our glass table on our back patio, and many other tables we've wanted to use it on. You also can't use it over a tablecloth, so in a restaurant with a cloth you have to fold it back to hook on the chair and it gets awkward, especially when your little angel tries to grab a handful of the cloth and yank the whole thing off the table. I also underestimated the usefulness of a tray in containing a self-feeder's mess. My almost 16-month-old has insisted on feeding herself for several months now and when she eats there is food EVERYWHERE. All over the Fast Chair's fabric, and stuck along the edges of the rubber arms. With the Fisher Price booster, the little tray contains her mess and keeps it off the table. Also, the plastic of the Fisher Price chair just wipes clean, much easier than trying to pry dried mashed banana, etc, out of the Fast Chair's fabric folds. I find set-up for the Fisher Price chair is quicker than for the Fast Chair, and it folds up for travel and even has an over-the-shoulder carry strap, and weighs about the same as the Fast Chair (they are both very light). We took the Fisher Price booster on a trip recently and used it on all sorts of chairs and didn't encounter one it wouldn't fit. When she's ready to stop flinging her food everywhere, I can use the Fisher Price chair as without the tray and pull her right up to the table. Finally, my little girl seems to LOVE the Fisher Price booster, I set it down on the floor recently when we came back from a trip and she climbed right in a sat down and wanted her dinner right than and there!
