11 Travel High Chairs That Make Going Out With Kids a Breeze

Have a washing machine? Have a baby over 6 months or a toddler up to 35 pounds who wiggles a ton? Like to eat out and need a place to keep them contained? Let me introduce you to the Cozy Cover Easy Seat.

It has a 5 point removable harness for babies and a three-point strap for toddlers, and it just slides over a chair, secures at the bottom, and then you're off to the races. It comes with its own cover, and even that is machine-washable. 

Did I mention it's only $30? The only bummer is that it doesn't work on all seats. Our tester noted that low backs on chairs or chairs of odd shapes don't work as well.

This is a toddler seat designed for kids from 9 months to 55 pounds. It can be secured to most chairs, but it doesn't fold as compact as a slip model. That's not to say it's not compact — I easily fit this in a standard Skip Hop diaper bag — but it's just a little bit bulkier.

Another great little option is that the high-density foam seat can be removed for comfort. It features a wipe-clean oil and water-resistant fabric, a three-point harness, and it’s really a great travel high chair. At under $20, it’s nice to have “just in case” in your trunk or under your stroller.

A taller, more convertible high chair and booster seat combo, the Contours Explore even has its own backpack.

Designed for babies from 9 months to 60 pounds, this convenient high chair, and booster straps onto chairs easily, keeping your little one happy.

Given the fact that it’s machine-washable and converts into a few different positions, the versatility of this travel high chair is truly remarkable. Best of all, it's incredibly lightweight, so you can take it anywhere and everywhere.

I know more than a few parents who use this narrow high chair as their everyday high chair. It's suitable for use from 6 months to 37 pounds, and because it takes up such little space, it can be a great option for smaller spaces.

The chair itself is extremely durable. The cover is machine-washable, and the tray is dishwasher-safe. The only drawback for this chair is that it doesn't work with round tables or glass. (But, then again, none of these styles do.)

Chicco is really good at making it easy for parents to remove their product covers for washing — and the Quick Seat is no different. With the unsnapping of just a few snaps, it's off and ready for the machine in a jiff.

It's suitable for babies from 6 months to 37 pounds, and the generously-sized tray is also super easy to clean. 

But that's not even the best part. Most claw-style chairs use some sort of twist or crank to attach them to the table. Not the Chicco — it does it with just a pull of a cinch in the back, making it the easiest travel high chair to set up by a mile. 

If, like me, you are a major fan of Lysol or Clorox wipes, this is the chair for you.

It's not as compact as some of the others, though it does fold up. But the whole thing can be wiped down easily. The straps are even easy to clean. Plus, it stays clean thanks to having such few spaces for food to get trapped in.

And it is meant for the long haul. There are two different tray options that click together for storage. One is plain and flat, and the other is portioned out. And it goes from a high back travel high chair and also transforms into a booster, giving it a second life. It can be used from 6 months until they no longer need it. 

A bleachable booster that folds up into a compact package feels like a big ask, but Summer delivers with this one. 

Our testers found that this chair is really best for babies over 9 months, but it can be used as a booster without the tray, but still with the three-point harness until well into elementary school. Kids still need a boost.

The tray has a cover, keeping it clean and tidy, but there are a few nooks and crannies that you do have to watch for when cleaning. But other than that, it's such a great travel high chair. 

You can be on the go or just in your dining room with this Pocket snack booster seat from Chicco. It folds completely flat, and it has a carrying strap. So no matter where you are or where you're going, you'll have a place for your baby. 

Chicco made this utterly washable, multi-height position chair with a removable tray so that it works as a booster as well. Suitable for babies from when they can sit up unassisted to 50 pounds. And the easy three-point harness? It takes a ton of effort to get it gunked up. (Our testers said not even grits could take it down!)

If you go camping, spend a lot of time outside, or you just want an ultra-light, collapsible high chair that doesn't need a table and chairs, here's our favorite. 

This chair has a five-point harness, so it can be used for babies as soon as they can sit up on their own. Made of vinyl-coated canvas, it can be sprayed off with a hose, wiped off with a cloth, or sprayed down with your favorite cleaning spray. It has a cup holder for baby, which may not completely prevent your baby from flinging their bottle, but it may help. It collapses into a small bag and only weighs about 8 pounds.  

Sometimes, a camp-style chair just doesn't feel substantial enough. If you want a hard tray. this Summer travel high chair is the way to go. 

It's good for babies 6 months to 35 pounds, and the fabric is removable and machine washable. It all folds up into a carrying case just slightly larger than an umbrella, save the tray. 

This chair has a fun zippered pocket on the side to hold whatever you want (we suggest keeping plastic cutlery and wipes!)
