Legitimately awesome
This is one of the best items I've bought for my son. If he's still using it when my daughter gets old enough, I'll be getting one for her too. He's too big to need restraints, and this thing stays put even when he climbs in and out of it. Very sturdy, easy to clean, and surprisingly difficult to budge despite not being attached to the chair in any way. I highly recommend this if you have a wooden chair to set it on. I have not tried mine one an upholstered chair yet, so no idea how it would work on one.My son can also take this seat on and off the chair himself, which makes him feel stronger and more independent. It took him a week or two to figure out how to climb up and down safely. Now he does it quicker than blinking.

I own 2!
This is my second Prince Lionheart soft booster. The first one I bought back in 2011. It's still holding pretty well. It's just starting to crack on a side that is between the seat and side wall. But it's hardly noticeable and it's lasted through thousands of meals. I liked it so much that I ordered a second one since I now have 2 in boosters. I like the soft cushion seat for more comfort. We have wooden dining chairs so we have no problem with it slipping and moving around. It is super easy to wash up with soap and water, which I have to wipe down after every meal. The seat itself is textured so that takes a little more scrubbing but still cleans up well. It's wider than those little plastic restaurant type or high chair combo type boosters. It also boosts enough yet is low enough to be able to push the chair in so the kid is right up to the table and can sit there like everyone else. And it's lightweight enough if you need to bring it along to someone else's house for using.I much prefer this booster for my kids.

Great seat
Great booster seat for toddler and kids still needing a lift at the table. Easy to clean and move. I have 3 for my grandchildren and will but more if needed.

Nice, easy to clean booster seat.
I like this booster for its cleanability, sturdy yet somewhat soft foam plastic is easy to wipe down or rinse as needed.It works well for our three year old son.The only complaint I have is that there's no strap to keep it on the chair. I knew that when i bought it but I didn't know how much i would want a strap until now. When my son gets off the seat, usually over the side, the whole seat tips and he always almost falls down or the seat falls off. Would be nice if a strap was an option but I still like it anyway.

Comparison to Cooshee Classic
***UPDATE 10/2017***Upgrading from 3 starsHaving used this chair for over 2 years now (it is now kid #4's chair), my opinion of this chair has grown a bit. Going off my quick list from the original review:1) there is absolutely no odor anymore2) I have never had any hint of a problem with it sliding around or wanting to fall off, so while I still hold that the bottom of the chair has less substance that it could, I have to concede that it is enough3) ... no change here--I still think the Cooshee feels better to the touch4) I don't know what was originally mashed into the texture of the chair, but for most things, it cleans up just fine.Also, I would like to point out that kid #3 hasn't been able to make a dent in this thing--it is still holding up very well and is still practically in a like-new condition. I cannot say the same for the Cooshee which has been taped, glued, and taped again, but to no avail and now only a fragment of the side remains.Another note: although kid #3 was originally assigned to this chair and does still sit in it from time to time, kid #4 routinely chooses this one over the Cooshee when presented with the choice. That may just be because the Cooshee is all torn up on the sides, but it also proves that as a chair, it is perfectly comfortable to little bottoms! I was going to make this a 4 star review simply because I do still like the Cooshee better and if *I* was going to sit in one or the other, I would choose the Cooshee, but with kid #4's endorsement, I went ahead and gave it all 5 stars.Revised summary: if you have the cash and a gentle kid, the Cooshee is still the better chair, but if you want to save some money and/or if you have a kid who is hard on things, then this PL is the better choice.***************************ORIGINAL REVIEW:We've had a "Cooshee Classic" for years now. It is now seating it's 3rd kid and we have LOVED it--best "high chair" solution we have found for any kid that is about 1 or 2 to about 3 or 4 years (depending on how tall your kids are).Unfortunately, "kid #3" is... shall we say, very hard on all his belongings. We were surprised when our Cooshee's side got ripped--we had thought it would last forever, but then when we thought about all the other things kid #3 has destroyed, we were a little less surprised. At any rate, kid #3 is still short enough that he'll be needing a booster for a bit longer and kid #4 has just decided that she refuses to be the only one in a high chair--she wants to sit in a normal chair like the rest of us. "OK," I thought, "I suppose I can understand that" and I headed over to Amazon to get another Cooshee..."$50??!"Yes, that's right--a real, BabySmart brand Cooshie is about $50 which is quite a bit more than I had remembered or guessed it would be, seeing as it's essentially just a chunk of foam. I started to explore my options.I saw that on a certain online auction site, you could get a used Cooshie for about 1/2 that (at least, that was true when I was doing my searches), or for roughly the same price, I could get this "Prince Lionheart", Cooshee knock-off brand new here at Amazon. I went with my second choice-partly because I like Amazon and partly because I like new. Now I'm thinking I should have gone with the auction site (no negative reflections on Amazon--this is purely based on the product itself). Here's why...For those of you who like the short version, the Cooshee:1) smells better2) is more stable3) feels better to the touch4) is easier to cleanFor those of you who like details:So, yeah--the first thing I noticed when I took it out of its bag was that this thing smelled awful. Like chemicals. Holy cow! Fortunately, after washing it was warm, soapy water and leaving it out in the hot summer sun all day, *most* of the smell disappeared. Relief.I've attached 4 pictures to help illustrate my next points.Let's start with the one where we are looking at both seats side by side. It appears they are nearly identical in size and shape and, indeed, they are very close. A toddler sitting in either chair will be boosted about the same height and will have ample room for their little diapered bums to sit comfortably. Note that the texture of the chairs is different. I'll talk more about that later, too.Next, observe the picture of the underside of the chairs. Again, the size and shape looks very close. You can see that the Cooshee is a solid piece of foam with little "suction cups" cut into it for better "traction" on smooth chairs (and it actually works, too). Prince Lionheart decided to cut manufacturing costs by leaving a bunch of empty spaces--which is fine, it's stiff enough that it doesn't really need to be filled in. However, it is noteworthy that material is actually a bit slippery, so they had to put those orange dots on--that's where the friction is that will keep the booster from sliding off the host chair. I personally found those 3 pegs sufficient, but only just barely. I would have really liked it if they had doubled the number of those pegs for better stability.The next picture shows my hand squeezing the chairs. You can see that the Cooshee is more squishy than the PL is, but that both are at least a bit squishy. I don't know if that's really an important point or not--since the bottom of the Cooshee is solid foam, and since kids are so light, they aren't going to be *squishing* down into either one. HOWEVER, you can also see that the texture of the material is different. Both feel smooth, but the PL is much smoother (at least on the arm and back--the seat part is textured). You can't tell by looking at a picture, but it is also a bit slippery and leaves sort of a slippery residue on your hand if you touch it too much. I'm hoping that washes off over time, but I certainly don't like it for now. As I was mentioning before, the fact that the material the PL is made of is slippery means they have to add friction points to the bottom, but the Cooshee did not need to do that because although it is smooth, it isn't at all slippery.Which brings us to the last picture: the texture of the seating area. Obviously, a slippery chair would not be good for little kids to sit in, so they textured this thing up on the seat. Personally, I don't like the way it feels to touch, but just about as importantly, it's harder to clean. Little bits of food get mashed down into the texture and then it's very hard to get it back out. You can see some in the picture I've included. It's been scrubbed with a dishrag, but I think we'll need a stiff-bristle brush to get that out.The Cooshee Classic is clearly a superior product and arguably worth the extra cost. NOTE, however, that BabySmart doesn't appear to sell Cooshee Classic anymore--they have changed the design to the "Hybak" model. I don't know if this new model is as good as (or better than) the classic--hopefully someone else can fill us in there. However, if you're on a budget, the PL is probably good enough, though I'd recommend that you first check that auction site and see if you can't get a used Cooshee Classic, instead.

Best Booster Seat For Home
Our toddlers grew out of their high chair/booster seat combo but are still not tall enough to sit at the table. This booster seat was exactly what we needed! It provides enough clearance for their legs but gives enough height for them to be seated comfortably while eating. They wipe clean and are soft. I do wish they had a strap to make them a little more stable (my son likes to lean for some reason and nearly fell over once). They're not compact and I don't recommend them for travel, but they're great for home use. I do wish my kids had chosen a less annoying color. Originally I ordered one gray for my son and this fuchsia color for my daughter, but once my son saw the fuchsia he insisted on having it. So the gray went back (the exchange process went flawlessly) and another fuchsia one joined the family. It sticks out but they're only little for a little while and it makes them happy. When I was their age I sat on a phone book, and this is definitely an upgrade from that! I definitely recommend, and the price is great compared with some of the other options.
