I'm looking for a chair for DD to start using around 22-24 months or so that can pull up to the table. Currently she uses the FP Space Saver but the arms and height prevent that from working at the table. Any suggestions? Cost is definitely a factor for us. Thanks!

Since you don't need the ability to use a baby rail, try to find a used Kinderzeat, the Tripp Trapp predecessor. I've gotten several from CL and one from a Montessori school sale - from $60- 70, which is much more affordable! We really like them here and have lots of little people who enjoy sitting in them. i love that they buckle and don't take up our regular dining room chairs like a booster would.

Check out IKEA, they used to have a few options.

This Fisher-Price booster should work:

I think it might be discontinued as it's no longer on the F-P website. You can probably get one off of Craigslist if you want even cheaper than new. It is super easy to clean.

My just turned 2-year-old just wants to sit in the regular chair. Have you tried that? I also have a cooshie booster, which works pretty well at this age too.
