Chicco Pocket Snack Booster Seat, Grey

I purchased this Chicco to replace one of the Summer Infant Deluxe Folding Booster Seats that recently broke, and my experience with this seat by comparison is that I LOVE this one so much more. We initially purchased the folding boosters to use when we travel to grandparents houses or on vacations and but also ended up using them at home as our regular high chairs too since they save space by being attached to an existing chair at the table.

Pros:
– SO easy to clean! This seat doesn’t have and little nooks and crannies for food to get stuck in (MUCH easier than the Summer Infant seat), so a simple wipe down and this thing is clean. Many times the SI seat required being detached from the seat and hosed down. When I did that (probably not as often as I should), I was disgusted at all the food that was hidden in hard-to-see and reach spots.
-easy to fold up! With the click of a button, the legs are folded and the seat folds down. It gets quite compact. You could easily take it to a relative’s house, a restaurant or on vacation.
– 4 height adjustments. It can be used with th legs completely folded underneath or with the legs in one of three positions to make the seat higher.
-clips onto any chair easily. (I have also used a portable chair that attached to tables and hated it. It never worked with any of the tables we needed to attach it with.) This booster clips quickly, easily and effortlessly to any chair, which is important if you are traveling with it and have a squirmy toddler waiting to sit.

Cons:
-the seat is not quite as deep as the Summer Infant seat, so if you have a baby that is just learning to sit up unassisted, this seat isn’t going to provide a lot of extra support in holding baby up. Not an issue once baby can sit well unassisted.
– the tray is kind of hard to clip when you first get it. It does seem to get easier though! But I had to stop clipping the tray in when the baby isn’t sitting in it since it was tricky to get unlatched with one hand to put her in.
– a bit heavier than the Summer Infant seat (but also it seems a lot more heavy duty, so that’s probably a good thing!)

Overall, since this is so easy to clean, which is something I deal with multiple times a day, I am very happy with this chair! Would recommend to friends!

La silla es de buena calidad, está resistente y sobre todo práctica, la puedo llevar a cualquier lado y no ocupa espacio para nada, es fácil de armar y puedo ponerla en cualquier lugar, al ser de plástico se limpia fácilmente, y los cinturones de seguridad cumplen su función, solo que la estabilidad si me hace dudar. A pesar de quedar asegurado el bebé, si se inclina de lado o hacia adelante y si no tiene puesta la bandeja, parece que pudiera voltearse. Ya con la bandeja queda muy firme. Exceptuando eso cumple con su función, estoy satisfecha con el producto.

Nice and sturdy product. Was really useful to help in inculcating good eating habits.

We originally registered for/purchased the Chico pocket snack on the recommendation of a friend to use it for restaurants and when traveling. They were not wrong – we use it all the time when we go places where they will not be a high chair for our kiddo like single friends houses and great grandparents.

It has also been a wonderful option for camping. We attach it to our sturdier camping folding chairs, and it makes a wonderful outdoor high chair.

It folds up flat and it’s easy to stick into bag or suitcase. We have taken it all over the country on family vacations. It is especially easy to fold if you takeoff the piece that goes between their legs once they get a little bit more sturdy in a chair.

But, it’s most frequent use in our house is our every day, all the time, attached to our dining chairs, high chair for toddlers and not quite tall enough big kids. Unlike other high chairs I can still fully push in all of the regular dining chairs, but have a bit of a boost so the toddler can sit up at a level that is comfortable for them to eat. We have bought a new one with each kiddo until they are the right height for a little booster on the seat just before sitting in a regular dining chair.

Super super washable – I have more often than not just taken it outside and give it a good hose down after it gets particularly peanut buttery or sticky. All of the parts are dishwasher safe, but honestly take up too much room for that to be practical.

I recommend this to all of my friends and I’m recommending it to you too.

Light, simple and easy to use. My baby is around 14KG, no issue.
