Standing in her booster

I need some help, G pushes the table out and stands up in her booster chair at the ktichen table. I thought it was just a phase but she's been doing it for awhile now. Today I went to the bathroom while she was eating breakfast and fell out of her chair. There aren't straps on her booster, so we can't strap her in. I've tried just sitting her in the chair like a big girl but she stands in the chair and can climb down. 

Any ideas on what to do? Or do we just remove the booster and let her learn to sit in a chair by herself?

Re: Standing in her booster

  • Get a booster w/ straps, she might be too little for just sitting at the table.

    When we go to my parents house, the booster there doesn't have straps to keep her in, so we use a belt, and facen the belt behind the chair, Ella doesn't know any different, but G might, but it's worth a shot.

     

  • You could make something like this http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2009/11/fabric-travel-high-chair.html You might even be able to figure out a way to use it with her current booster seat.  If she wouldn't stay with just velcro you could always use snaps.

  • Kellen does the same thing, and we have the Joovy Nook (got from Suite Dreams- 5 point harness).  We just make sure if we leave the area, that he is far enough from the table not to push off.  When we are out at a restaurant, we have to put our foot on the high chair, because he will use his arms to push off and tip backwards!!!
