Camping. Grandma's house. Company. Restaurants. Baseball games. Cook outs. Small spaces. Vacation. Bonfires. Grandchildren. Wandering Toddler.
These are just a few of the MANY reasons you should check out the ciao! baby portable high chair!
Admittedly, Stinky is beyond the need for a daily high chair. In fact, he's been out of even a booster seat for quite some time. Silly, then, that I'd be super excited about a high chair, right? Except the ciao! baby isn't a high chair. Nope. It's a life saver!
In our family, we like to "visit." I'd say travel, but that's probably taking it a little too far. We visit Mamaw and Nana. We go camping on occasion. We typically take a summer trip. We visit with friends and family at their homes. We invite others into our home. We're visit-ers! (Please don't confuse that with visitors. We are sometimes visitors, but visit-ers are different. I promise. Just ask me.) The trouble with having a 2 year old and being a visit-er is that toddlers don't like to sit and eat. They just don't! Toddlers roam. Toddlers explore. Toddlers drive their parents crazy at meal times, especially when they aren't at home!
The ciao! baby portable high chair is the perfect solution to toddler mealtime wandering, especially for "visit-ers" like us! The ciao! baby folds up small, like a camping chair. It stores in a bag, like a camping chair. It fits in the trunk or the garage in a small space, like a camping chair. In fact, when you take it along to a bonfire, people will think you're taking along an extra seat! It is SO much more than a camping chair, though. It is a promise of safety and security that means your little one will stay near your side. It's the affirmation that your toddler (or baby) will be contained long enough to (maybe) eat 4 bites of food before he's allowed to roam. It's a comfort for mommy, and a treat for toddlers that don't typically sit in high chairs! (I know, that sounds crazy, but Stinky gets SO excited when he sees the ciao baby come out! He gets jealous if we're "sharing" it. He climbs in if we're not. He loves it!)
I LOVE how easy it is to wipe this high char clean! See all that mess? Here, let me show you:
We have peanut butter and milk and bits of apple all combined into a sticky nasty mess on the tray and the seat!A quick wipe with a wet cloth, though, leave the tray (and chair, and cup holder) good as new!
(I can't say as much for the toddler. He needed a hose!)
The seat belt buckles behind the seat. Genius! Curious toddlers can't reach there to unbuckle themselves! My biggest complaint, though, goes right along with that bit of brilliance. The opening in which to put your child is smallish. It's great for little ones, but if you have a chunky little guy, it's going to be a little on the difficult side to wrangle him in. It's still VERY doable, and very worth the effort.
The tray is not meant to be a rigid high chair tray. It's not, after all, meant to be an every day high chair. It is meant to be an occasional use travel chair. You will find that as long as you are using a plate, the tray is fine, but if you're planning to just put bits of food on the tray, food will be more likely to slide around. Use a plate.
The ciao! baby portable high chair is easy peasy with smaller babies, too! In fact, I used it this week with my 9 month old nephew. (Stinky was jealous. He has a broken leg and can't use his ciao! baby right now.)
This little guy is tiny. He was very comfy in the ciao! baby! He was very happy--until I walked away with his food. PLEASE, if you're using the ciao! baby portable high chair, don't forget to strap babies in! He didn't fall or get hurt in any way, but he did stand up in the seat while my back was turned. I am not in the habit of strapping Stinky into the chair because he sits still, but with the littler guys it's going to be necessary. Because the chair is very stable, though, and very well constructed, this little guy was safe despite his amazing aunt's lack of baby-tending skills!
We LOVE our ciao! baby portable high chair! It's perfect, aside from the opening being just a tad small for toddlers. It's the perfect size for families like ours; families that don't need an every day high chair anymore, but who need one for "those times." It's perfect for families like my sister's; families that DO need a high chair every day, but could use one for "those times." It's perfect for YOUR family!!

You didn't tell me you tried to break my baby! I SO want one of those at the campgrounds, it would be perfect in the cafeteria for groups when they visit.
Eh, he was okay. I was 2 feet away and sat him back down. It was a nice reminder, though, that little guys do better when strapped! (And if I remember correctly, he did the same thing when you were in charge at Nana and Poppy's the night before...)
