When Does A Child Need A Booster Seat

What's the difference between this Fisher Price Yellow & Orange booster seat versus the Blue & Green one? Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat - Blue

As you can see from the pictures (but not from the product description), this less expensive Yellow and Orange version does not have the following two features:

1. an extra adjustable base to raise/lower the seat; and
2. the tray insert and cover.

We have both this Yellow/Orange one and the Blue/Green one and find that the extra features are not really necessary. Our kid actually uses the tray insert and cover as a toy.

For a 10 month old, we have the adjustable base at the highest setting on the Blue/Green one. With no additional base, she sits lower on the Yellow/Orange one, but we don't really find it to be an issue... Read more

I can't say enough good things about this booster chair. I have two of them, one for each of my toddlers.

Both of my girls seemed plenty comfortable in it, too, despite no... Read more

The Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster seat is light-weight, easy to setup, and easy to clean. My son started using it when he was about 15 months, so instead of dragging the high chair from room to room, I can attach this to one of the dining room chairs. I like the removable tray and backrest. The ties can be a little difficult to tighten; and because its light-weight, you need to make sure that it's fastened securely. It's a great value.
