Best Booster Seats

Best For: Baby

Too big for her high chair, but not yet ready for a seat at the dining room table? Give your child a boost with our favorite booster seats.

What to look for

1. Safety: Not all boosters come with restraints, so if you have a younger, squirmy child, make sure the seat has safety straps.
2. Portability: Look for a lightweight seat that you can easily store and take with you when you dine out.
3. Easy to Use: The seat should easily attach to a variety of chairs. If it doesn’t have straps to attach to the seat, the bottom should be skid-resistant.
