Can this highchair be used on the countertop like a Bumbo Seat? Or does it have to be used strapped to another chair?

I used it unstrapped till my son reached toddler age... dont leave child unattended... i sat right with my child if he wasnt strapped to a chair securely...

While the chair will sit flat on a counter, there's no way to secure it. A child could scoot it by pushing with their feet or perhaps even tip it by leaning forward.

Well, just like the Bumbo I wouldn't put anything like this on an elevated surface but I think it does have a solid and wide base. This does sit on a chair nicely and gives them enough height so they can be up with you at a table.

It has to be strapped to a chair. It has straps that go around the back and underneath the chair that you put it on.

Bumbo seats have been recalled because people were putting them on tables and counter tops and children were falling over and cracking their heads open, so they had to put warnings on the chairs. Never put chairs on countertops! Of course it has to be strapped to a chair!

I realty think it would work fine. I sit down then slide the squatty potty in position under my feet. It's a squat position without the weight on your legs.

This seat can be strapped to a chair and works great, my granddaughter used it at 7 months.

Yes we use it on a barstool with no arms and cushion seat. The straps tighten around the back and also around the seat so you should be able to secure it well even without a flat surface. Love that the cover is washable and the straps can be wiped down.

Not normally, even if it is not tied down due to the backing and resistance between the seat and the pad. But to be sure, use the tie downs that come with the pad. With that said, experiment with the amount of air you put in it as it will move between her bum and the seat due to under-inflation. Kind of a wallowing motion. Some people like this as it is very soft for sitting long periods of time. But the pad itself should not move at all.

Yes it can, we used it in a normal sized one today at Firehouse Subs. My little guy is 7 months old and about 19 pounds. It would be a very snug fit in one of the smaller varieties of high chair.

I have used it as a stool seat many times and also stood on it to get things out of reach. I did not intend for this, but mostly keep it in in a closet which has high shelves.

Yes you can but it will only stand about waste high at the tallest point (I am 5' 9"). I found it works well between two chairs. I also have it open all the way so it is flat, tighten the knobs to keep it like that, and then prop it against a wall /| &lt;--- Like that. Works much better and uses less space.

Being honest its prob best to use when they are a little sturdy. Have you tried the Bumbo seat?

To make it easy to use for a standing desk you would need some kind of ring or step bar to get you higher on the seat. I actually use this in the kitchen to work at the stove or counter and do not put it up as far as I would like due to my own physical problems. It would go high enough. With rubber soled shoes I step on one of the legs of the chair to hoist myself a little higher on the seat.

I would say no to a high chair, also it is very unstable when using the steps. The chair alone seems stable enough, so I say it depends on the age and how active the child is. Personally I would not recommend it.

What would you be sitting the chair on? I guess you could sit it on the ground and use it, but your legs would be stretched out or "Pretzel legged".

Seems this high chair may be a good option if we would like a chair that works for both our regular table & kitchen island (which is a little taller)? I am having a hard time finding a chair that would work for both heights.

Not sure, but it is very adjustable, so can work in many situations; I mainly use it fit snugly to torso; there is no adjustment to strap, so if torso component could not be adjusted to include back of high chair, it would not work; if you are creative and fit the harness to torso and then create your own strap adjustment (even a knot), it could work for most situations.

What a good question. I haven't considered it, because I'm not that size. I've put heavier things on it. No, I don't think I'd let my 115 lbs child sit on it, though. I really am pleased with this. It looks very nice, as in the photo. I was actually expecting something more cheaply made. I'd give it five stars. Megan is correct, it is rather high. I might plop a toddler here, temporarily, to help with shoes or similar. I think a person tall enough to sit here might be too heavy. (??)

I would also say no. with no overhang on the top, I don't think it would be comfortable to sit at on stools. Still loving it many months later for so many reasons...but we do not use it to sit at.

I've only seen my daughter use it strapped to a chair. I bought it as a gift. It's good quality and is sturdy.
