A couple of disclaimers -- I'm no videographer, so please excuse the odd coloring that seems to appear in the video. I was using natural light (sunlight from the windows in the room) so when the sun went behind the clouds, I guess my camera doesn't automatically white balance. So it looks a little greenish-blue every once in awhile. Also, please excuse the state of my house in the background. Actually, don't look at the background. Or, that's not my house. It's a backdrop. Of someone else's house. Of someone else's lived-in, crazy house.
Anyway... presenting the totseat! It's a
portable travel harness
that turns any seat
into a high chair. I love
to travel, so anything
that is small and
packable peaks my interest.
A couple of highlights before watching the demonstration:
1. It comes packaged in a small, very packable, handy dandy pouch.
2. It's adaptable to just about any type of chair.
3. It's simple to use (I only read the instructions once before using it in this video with Annabel) .
4. It's very secure -- Annabel has only been sitting up on her own for a couple of weeks, so still has a tendency to tump over. The totseat held her in place very securely.
5. It's machine washable.
According to their website, in the US we can purchase the totseat from Trendykid.com. It sells for $34.99, and shipping for me cost about $5. We have the Chicco Caddy Hook-on Chair also (as a shower gift), which retails for the same price. We haven't tried that one yet, but given luggage restrictions for air travel these days, it helps to go small. And totseat does just that.
In summary, based on the demo above, I'm loving the totseat. I'll do a follow-up review when we take it on vacation with us so you'll know if it worked in a real situation.
What do you think? Do you have any other recommendations for a portable seat? Post them in the comments section!
