I'd like to get an easily packable booster seat that attaches to chairs. We use the FP healthy care booster for our everyday high chair, but it's just too bulky to put in a suitcase for air travel. I'd rather not get a clip-on chair, and I think our son wouldn't be able to reach the table to eat if we got one of the fabric slings that attach to the chair. Does anyone have a feedback on one of these boosters such as

I highly recommend the Phil and Ted's one! We have used it many times and it works great - no wiggle-worming! It doesn't have the "boost" that the ones you mentioned do, but it fits so easily in a suitcase. You wouldn't believe how small it is - and machine washable! I'm pretty sure you could sit your DC in this product and then in a booster that the restaurant provides - KWIM??

We have this one and love it.

We've packed and traveled with it by air a few times. Works great, and wipes clean pretty easily.

We have the First Years one (the last link in your OP) and like it. We recently used it many times on a week long vacation and it worked on all the different chairs we tried it on and the straps contained DS well. It does pack down fairly compactly and we were able to pack it in our suitcase. The only real downside I can see with it (and it would be the same for any of these) is keeping it clean. Since there's no tray and DS was just pushed up to the table, it did sometimes get food on it. We just sponged it off, but I could see it getting yucky down the line. Also, just FYI, be aware that for it to fully inflate, the first time you take it out you need to give it a few hours to decompress. For subsequent uses, you just unzip it and you're good to go.
