In a few week's we'll be taking our 1-year-old away in our caravan for the first time. At home she has meals in an Ikea high chair, but we'll be tight for space in our small caravan so I was wondering how other people cope with seating a baby at mealtimes? We've considered a booster seat, but I'm not sure if it will be possible to attach one to a caravan dinette seat.

Any tips appreciated!

Looks good, but I'm not sure how well it will strap onto a caravan dinette seat... it looks like it's designed for a dining chair. Perhaps I could modify it somehow to strap onto the seat cushion.

Had to look up what a bumbo is! I think she's going to be too big for one of those though.

The one that clips on the table might be worth a look.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

The ones that clip onto the table often rely on the table being strong enough to not only take the weight of the chair but also the baby inside it, which i doubt that some of the hollow construction type caravan tables will do safely and without the risk of either the table tipping over or the bracket being wrenched off the wall depending on type.

We bought one of those type booster seats that are designed to fit onto a dining chair, but have their own tray attached. If you place this far back onto one of the side benches and make sure an adult stays seated at the side of the child then they are fairly safe and sturdy enough to be used as a low-chair type of thing, and will take a child upto around 2yrs old. Ours was from Argos and cost around £14. they also work as a low chair on the floor complete with tray as long as the child is supervised.

The best one we found when ours was little was the ikea ones. They come to pieces easily (the legs detach) and they are very light (and cheap). You see them in quite a lot of cafe's. I did though notice they'd had some sort of recall on them recently although I'm not sure this was limited to a specific batch. Just had a check now on IKEA and they are still selling them >> http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00069725/

£10.99 for the chair and the tray is £4

Hi, I would recommend the cosatto on the go highchair.
http://www.mothercare.com/Cosatto-Move-highchair-Fruits-Forest/dp/B0030SQL5W this isn't the best price - we got ours new for about £40. It folds completely flat and takes up hardly any space when folded so you could use it at home and then take it away with you (ours came with a carry bag).
The boosters are great when they're older and you are using them to gain height, but sometimes when they are younger they need to be strapped in to make it easier for you to eat without worrying that they might fall out.
