Big Girl Booster

Reagan absolutely LOVES sitting in the wooden highchairs at restaurants because she's actually seated at the table instead of a distance away, the way she is in her highchair because of the tray.  Obviously we won't need the highchair for Baby Boy Peddle for quite some time but we thought now would be a great time to get Reagan a booster seat so she can sit at the table with Mommy & Daddy when we eat.

After doing some research on the internet to decide if we wanted a booster seat or a restaurant-style wooden highchair, we decided to go with the Graco Blossom Booster Seat from where else but Amazon.com using our Prime membership, which gets u free 2-day shipping on most items.  One of the main reasons we went with a booster seat is that it attaches to a chair we already own and we don't have to clear out a chair from the table to fit the restaurant-style highchair.  Obviously there are plenty of "prettier" seats on the market but I actually like how neutral this is and it doesn't obnoxiously stand out.  Plus, the added bonus is that it can be used with Reagan's baby brother when it's time for him to sit at the table since it's tan and not hot pink!  I really like this particular booster seat because it has 2 security straps that go around the chair back & chair bottom to ensure no slipping when Reagan is in the chair.  It also has a 3-point safety harness to keep her seated while she's in the chair.  She's still do young that I wanted to make sure she would stay seated when in her chair.  And lastly, it's made of an easily-cleanable plastic, perfect for cleaning up those "learning to feed myself" messes Reagan makes while trying out her hand at silverware.

She loves sitting in a chair just like Mommy & Daddy, but this new milestone doesn't come without some issues to tackle.  One of those being that my dining room chairs are light-colored fabric seat backs (pictured above) & seat cushions (aka very easy to get dirty), and the next challenge being how much Reagan loves to bang things together.  Needless to say, I'll be making a purchase this weekend of a table pad to protect it from tiny diners!!!
