Hook-on high chairs have a number of advantages over traditional high chairs and boosters.  It is very convenient and portable and in many ways more comfortable than a high chair/booster.

First of all, they take up a lot less space.  They are attached to the table directly and removed after use.  So there is no extra space lost and no high chair coming in your way any more.  Since they are made for easy portability they are light and fold flat.  As a result they can be carried around to restaurants, picnics etc.  by carrying your very own hook-on high chair you can avoid the chances of contamination from the high chairs/ boosters provided by restaurants.

Some designs come with full 360 degree rotation giving you full flexibility to feed from all angles.  As the hook-on high chair is directly attached to the table, you are assured that your baby will be eating with you.  No height adjustments to be done here.

Some come with detachable seats making washing simpler for the mommies.  Those without the detachable seat can prove to be difficult because stains and liquids will be harder to wash off.

Another advantage is that the hook-on high chair has few or no nooks like the high chairs into which little food particles can get into.  The seats are usually more comfort with cushions.

While buying a hook-on chair for your kid look for one which provides good back support and holds the kid safely.  See the specifications of the product for the weight it can hold and compare it with your baby’s weight.  Make sure that the belt holds the baby securely, but does not restrict complete movement.  The baby needs to be comfortable in the seat and should enjoy the meal like the rest of the family at the table.

For kids who are wobbly, hook-on high chair may not be a good idea yet and you should probably wait for sometime till it can sit up on its own.

Another important feature that would make your purchase worth every penny is the ease of attaching and detaching.  The clasps should not make marks on your furniture.  And the clasps should be sturdy and at no time fail.  Having seats which are not detachable can also be a pain, because if it gets wet there are chances of mildew growing.

A product with easy  maintenance, durability, high levels of comfort, high stability and safety will turn out to be a good buy.  Chicco caddy hook-on high chairs, Regalo are some manufacturers of good quality hook-on high chairs.
