5 Portable High Chairs for Kids of All Ages

If you own a portable high chair, you will not be forced to choose your dining venue based on what sort of seating is available for the very short and very messy members of the family. Like a ninja parent, you will whip out the perfect combination of containment and dining comfort for your child, whatever age and stage the little tyke is currently mastering.

Portable high chairs are great for small apartments, too, since you can fold them up and stash them when baby is tucked away in bed.
