RE: portable booster seats
I have the First Years 3-in-1 reclining booster seat and I love it. I am currently using it for my 5 1/2 month-old daughter in our small apartment as a highchair until we move into our new house next month (yeah!) and have more room for a highchair. I definitely think if you are on a tight budget or are trying to save space, this $30 seat is a good investment. The drawbacks - this seat has a wide base and needs to be used on a good-sized kitchen chair - it cannot be used on a folding chair. Also, while the seat is padded, it is a cloth pad that needs to be machine-washed - it can't just be spunged down. I would still recomend this seat.
