Best Portable High Chairs for Families on the Go

The Inglesina Fast Table Chair and Tray checks all the boxes for the best portable high chair: It’s easy to carry, set up and clean. Whether you’re looking for a space-saving, counter-height option in your home or need something to take on-the-go for travels and dining, the Inglesina will fit your needs. At just 4.2 pounds and with an attached carry bag, this option is effortless to transport. It quickly clips on to nearly any surface—from 0.8 to 3.5 inches thick—without leaving any damage behind, and has a weight capacity of 37 pounds. Plus, the chair’s high backrest and padded seat will keep your little one comfy and secure during meal time.

It doesn’t get much more portable—or affordable—than the CozyBaby Easy Seat Portable High Chair. The fabric seat slides over the back of any chair and fastens with two buckled straps. From there, a five-point harness ensures your little one is extra secure while dining. Any messes can easily be wiped down, and the whole seat is able to fold away neatly in your bag. Best of all, at just under $30, it’s easy on your wallet too.

Love the convenience and space-saving features of a clip-on high chair, but worried about it being secure? Enter Phil & Ted’s Lobster Portable High Chair, which goes the extra mile to ensure your child has a safe seat at the table. In a static durability test, its lobster jaw clamps held an 88-pound weight for a 48-hour period, so it’s safe to say even the wriggliest toddler won’t be going anywhere during mealtime. Other features like an aluminum frame and a five-point harness combine to make this one of the most stable clip-on high chair options available.

Mealtime on the go has never been easier, thanks to this pop-up high chair from Summer Infant. The Pop N’ Sit Portable Booster sets up in seconds and provides a stable, standalone seat for snacks and meals, no matter your location. It also doubles as a standard booster seat and can be used on a regular chair, thanks to the attached safety straps. When your little one is done dining, it collapses neatly and can be tucked away into the provided carry bag, which features a shoulder strap for easy transporting. This combination of versatility and portability makes this high chair a win-win for both parents and kiddos.

When it comes to versatility, the Chicco Pocket Snack Booster Seat can’t be beat. It offers three different tray positions, three different height positions and a weight capacity up to 50 pounds, making this a portable high chair that’ll be with you for the long haul.

For families that love to travel, the Bombol Pop-Up Booster is a must-have. This travel high chair folds down to the size of a book and weighs just 2 pounds, taking up next-to-no room in your luggage. When needed, it pops up into a 3D structure that’s both sturdy and comfortable, with a padded seat and backrest as well as a five-point harness. We also love how the fabric is stain-, abrasion- and odor-resistant—perfect for when you don’t have access to a washing machine.

It’s common to deal with unhygienic high chairs or trying to attach a booster seat to a booth when dining out. But the Mountain Buggy Pod High Chair manages to solve those problems. The adjustable C-shaped clamps fit on most tables, its petite profile can squeeze into the tightest of spaces and the design provides postural support for your child at any table height. When it’s time to leave, fold it up and slide it into the neat carry bag for a quick and easy exit.

Headed camping with your little one? The folks at Baby Delight have you covered with their Go With Me Venture Deluxe Portable Chair. This portable camping high chair features a protective sun canopy, a leg enclosure with netting to keep out bugs and other critters, a removable tray and cup holder and a flared leg system for extra stability. The design also features optional leg holes for when your child wants to stand, as well as a five-point harness to keep them secure. It all collapses into a tiny travel bag at the end of your adventure.
