Baby Products Reviews of Baby Smart Cooshie Booster Seat - Blue
Customer Review: It ruined my chair
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this booster after owning one of the hard plastic types that strap on to your chair. That type caused scratches and nicks in my chairs. I figured this one would be great because it was soft. My son loves it, and it's easy to get in and out of, but it has ruined my chair! I have solid oak chairs, and this seat has caused the finish on my chair to "melt" somehow. I'm not sure if there is heat created when sitting on it, or how it has happened exactly, but the finish on my chair looks terrible. I will have to buy seat covers for my chair after I'm finished using this booster.This cusion does not slip at all, and my 4 year old has enjoyed sitting in it for over a year now. It has held up, without any damage or signs of wear and tear. It wipes clean very easily, and it's very portable.
I think it's a great booster, except for the fact that the suction has ruined the finish of my wooden chairs.....
Customer Review: Light weight and easy for travel... but be careful!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product for bigger toddlers who have outgrown the highchair but still need a boost. It's great for travel and is easy to clean. Because there are no straps, it's great for taking out to eat instead of having them sit in the dirty booster seats in restaurants. However, BE VERY CAREFUL when your child is in this seat. It moves around fairly easily and a wiggly toddler can certainly pitch it off a chair without too much effort. It would be best used on a chair with arms or side rails, but on a kitchen chair or stool with only a back and no arms, you have to be at your child's side at all times. I have also found that it's very slippery on leather covered seats and better on solid wood (not secure, but less slippery). Very easy to clean and makes a nice outside seat on the ground for going to watch a game or have a picnic. Just be careful when they're sitting up high with no side support.Customer Review: Great Booster seat for home and restaurants
Summary: 5 Stars
Our toddler (nearly 3) has been using this booster seat for the last 7 months -- he loves it! We had a hard plastic one that he use to sit in while in a kitchen table chair, but it wasn't easy to actually sit in that and eat at the table. With the Cooshie Booster, he does easily and is at a good siting hight to eat without constantly dragging his arms through his food.One of the biggest features we loved about the seat, is that it has a continuous flat bottom. After our son was too big for a restaurant high chair, he started using a booster at the restaurant. But those are easy to tip over and get unbalanced, so we gave up on them. After we got our first booster seat for the house, we decided to get a second one to keep in the car for dinner's out. He stays put in it fairly well.
We are planning to get a third one of these as a present for our niece, Can't miss with this.
Customer Review: Good but not perfect
Summary: 3 Stars
I have purchased three of these in the past and am now about to purchase my fourth. I am buying it because it is the best thing on the market for toddlers to preschoolers who aren't quite big enough to reach the kitchen table yet. It is comfortable, sits securely on the chair and is about the right height for kids 18-24 months and up.That being said, it does have a few flaws. The first is that the sides tend to break and rip causing a big mess (and an ugly booster) over time. It's still functional, but rather unsightly. I'm buying a new one now simply because I can't stand looking at it any more.
The second flaw is that the foam used seems to react with the finish of my wooden kitchen chairs. Over time it has stripped the finish off all the areas that it sits on. For that reason, I would not recommend it for frequent use on fine wooden furniture...
Customer Review: A great seat, with a caveat
Summary: 4 Stars
For all the reasons others have mentioned - not having to fasten it to the chair, it staying securely in place, easy to move around, easy to clean, comfortable - this is a great seat. I bought it for my daughter when she was 2, and she still prefers it to no booster now that she is almost 6. The caveat is that on ours the side (the "lip" on one side) tore off, taking a bit of the seat with it, after her climbing in and sliding out over and over again. As I saw it begin to tear, I tried to duct tape it; this not only didn't help but left a sticky mess. I would prefer that it have the back on it but no sides. We still use it; it is still perfectly functional, but it looks bad. I do like it well enough that despite this I am going to buy a second one for my younger child, since my nearly-6-year-old does not want to give hers up. For what it's worth....
