Whining and Dining Review & Giveaway! KABOOST

OK really...this is (to me) the ideal dilemma solver. What do you do when your child has outgrown the high chair, but is not yet big enough for mommy and daddy's chair? Well...now there is an answer. You simply buy the KABOOST.

I have been following this company since they first began selling the KABOOST back in November (or so) 2007. After all that anticipation I can easily say this is the only chair booster you need for staying at home or traveling. From the beginning this company came on hard and fast and now is widely known and doing quite well. Yet they still treat everyone like they are a small company just starting out. They stand behind their product because it is their product. They originated the idea and development and now have a highly successful working product.

Some might say that the design is really so simple yet it is not that simple since it has to be extremely durable and pleasing to the eye. As I said earlier the KABOOST is a chair booster, not a booster chair. This is where the key difference comes in. It does not look any different to your child or guests than the other chairs. This to me is the genius part and why I feel like my son never balked at sitting at the table like a big boy and giving up his comfortable and all he had ever known Svan high chair to his ever growing and encroaching little sister. He is able to sit at the table with mommy and daddy in the same chairs we use. In fact the chair to me is even more stable with the KABOOST than without it. I mean can a product get any better? It not only keeps the aesthetic of your dining room, but it also increases the safety of a big chair for your toddler, who we all know will not just sit pleasantly with their back against the chair.

There is essentially no set up other than unfolding the product when you receive it and popping it onto the legs of the chair. Really it is that easy, in other words NO Assembly needed.

All ratings on a four star scale.

Functionality *** 1/2 - The KABOOST is all about function. It is the reason it became an idea to the inventor from observing his nieces and nephews and their desire to sit with the rest of the family in a chair just like everyone else. It is super safe. It allows the child to have independence and actually helps my Dozer to sit longer at the table with us. My only real word of advice is if you have an apron on the table you will be using this most with then measure. All of the measurements for the KABOOST are clearly defined and you can see them by clicking here. I mention this since I did travel with it and my grandma's table has an apron and we were unable to use it with the chairs due to the KABOOST raising the chair too high for Dozer to slide his legs underneath the table. But in this instance he was able to sit in the chair without any help.

Style **** - It is very streamlined and since it is placed on the legs of the chair it also creates no difference in the look you have put together in your home. I mean other than one chair being slightly higher than the others. Which come on people that is so not a big deal to me versus the choices of not so lovely booster chairs that are out there. It is available in four colors green, natural, chocolate, and charcoal. If you like a little pop then go for the green, which I really like. If you want to stick with your design or the color of your chairs as closely as possible then pick a neutral. They also have a nifty travel bag for your KABOOST available.

Price **** - $37.95...come on really that is all. For added stability, your child feeling more a part of the family and autonomous at the same time and clean lines in your home. It is well worth it. Not to even mention how well the product is made. For this price you can have one at your home and one at the next most visited home whether that is family or friend.

Overall Rating *** 3/4 - The reason there is not a four star there is because of the traveling issue of not knowing for sure it will work or not with the table and chairs. I doubt this is a common issue though. My grandma is pretty short and has antique furniture...so you know.
