    Velcro belt thing (dont know trade name). Turns any dining chair into a highchair and keeps kids strapped into supermarket trolleys. So small it fits in your handbag, so you can take it anywhere.
    Oooh sounds good, next time you're using it perhaps you could look for the name?

    Just looked at the spilly spoon and not sure it would work for us, I can see our son happily holding and tipping the spoon towards his mouth without actually opening up for it :rotfl:

    Thanks but not what I was expecting from flea's description as a 'velcro belt thing', I was more expecting a set of velcro harnesses. Cheers anyway!

    No its not as fancy as that lol

    Its basically a strip of webbing with velco on. You wrap it around baby's waist and the chair and do it up.

    Unfortunately it has no label on it, so no idea on make. I bought it for my first DD, shes 19 now lol. So perhaps its not made anymore, as its such a basic idea, it prob doesnt comply with modern safety standards lol
