Unlike standalone high chairs, the Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair straps onto a dining chair, converting any sturdy chair into a high chair. The Space Saver offers a weight rating of up to 50 pounds, and it has a three-position recline and a five-point harness that converts to three-point. It also converts to a booster seat once kids have outgrown high-chair mode.
Safe and sturdy as long as it's mounted on a stable chair
The Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair offers the same safety features as larger, standalone chairs. The five-point harness offers maximum security for smaller, babies, and a built-in yoke between the legs prevents children from sliding out of the seat. The seat secures to the chair from both the back and the bottom, and parents and reviewers say the straps secure the seat effectively. Be sure the chair the Space Saver is attached to is stable, however; a wobbly chair may present a safety hazard.
A straightforward, easy-to-use design
The Fisher-Price Space Saver's straps make it easy to attach to chairs. However, the seat does not fold down compactly, which is a drawback if you want to use it for travel or eating out. The chair can be reclined in three positions, and parents appreciate that the tray remains level even when the chair is fully reclined. Parents find the tray easy to remove and clean. However, some parents say the tray is small, which can result in more floor mess. The chair is also height adjustable, which enables a better fit to tables.
A full service solution for small spaces
The Fisher-Price Space Saver offers all the features required to safely secure and feed infants to toddlers without taking up floor space. It comes equipped with a feeding tray, but it can also be pulled up directly to the table. The Space Saver's nonremovable armrests may not fit under all tables. The Space Saver converts to a booster for older children; however, parents may encounter the same armrest-based issue when trying to pull the seat up to the table.
Basic warranty coverage
The Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair is covered by an industry standard one year warranty.
The bottom line
The Fisher-Price Space Saver offers a solution for families who live in small houses and apartments and/or who need to use more than one high chair. The reasonable price, ease of cleaning, adjustable height, secure design and infant-friendly recline make it our best reviewed in this category.

2. BabyGizmo.com
Hollie Schultz says this is the high chair for families with space issues. It fits virtually any dining room chair and is easy to attach and adjust. She does note that a toddler or small baby should not be placed too close to the table without the tray because they can kick it over. Schultz includes the Fisher-Price Space Saver in her top five high chair listing.
