SUMMARY
KABOOST is a compact and portable chair booster that raises the height of kitchen and dining room chairs so your child can sit at the table just like a grown up.

Children reach a certain point in which they no longer want to sit in a special chair or booster seat. A child wants to be just like his mom and dad or older siblings. In fact, many children would rather sit on their knees and eat rather than use a booster seat. That's where KABOOST comes in - a child can sit and reach the table just like everyone else.

Using an adjustable spring system, KABOOST snaps-on to chairs in mere seconds. The spring-loaded arms firmly grip chair legs into place, and KABOOST stays attached even when the chair is moved or repositioned.  KABOOST has a choice of two height positions equivalent to the same heights of standard booster seats allowing a child to grow with it.

 

INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS

EASE OF USE
At first glance many of our parents took a peek at KABOOST and dismissed it as not going to work, or to difficult to attach.  Then they used it!  We heard back from every adult that tested it that KABOOST was so easy to use - simply stretch the legs and it snap into place in seconds.  It doesn't get much easier than that!
DURABILITY
Our next hurdle to overcome was our Moms and Dads having skeptical feelings about KABOOST.  They all seemed to have that same nervous feeling that this wouldn't be sturdy or durable.  Wrong again!  Use after use KABOOST held up and snapped back in to place.  KABOOST tells us that each chair booster can hold up to 300 pounds, and our parents all felt comfortable placing it beneath their little ones.   Plus, Its non-slip rubberized feet will not scratch floors.
VISUAL APPEAL
The bright colors and modern styling is fun...heck some of our Moms thought KABOOST was down right cute.  Our only concern here was that at first glance some parents felt that they just couldn't see using this - that it couldn't be safe.  Don't get us wrong - none of our parents had any safety concerns after using with a child who will sit still at the table - but from a first visual impression, some of our Moms and Dads were concerned.
FUNCTIONALITY
KABOOST does accomplishes the goal it sets out to accomplish - and it does it well.  As far as our parents are concerned you don't need a whole lot of bells and whistles on a product that works - and KABOOST does!
COST EFFICIENCY
Priced at $37.99, some of our parents really had to stop to consider whether KABOOST was an expense they wanted to take on.  Some parents confessed that their kids didn't mind booster seats at restaurants, and that even though they may be a little dirty, they didn't mind either.  These parents felt that maybe at a lower price point they could see purchasing. 

However, and this is a big however, those parents that tested KABOOST who have toddlers that just refuse to sit in a booster at a restaurant fell in love KABOOST and felt it was well worth the money to save the struggle. 

ORIGINALITY

We've seen other booster seats, we've seen other high chairs, but we have not seen any product as unique as KABOOST in addressing this problem!  All of our parents sat back and basically said, "Well isn't that an interesting idea!"
OVERALL RATING

KABOOST is a fantastic solution to an annoying problem.  Yes it may be a little more than some folks want to spend, but if you've ever had to deal with a child fighting about a high chair, booster seat, or making a mess by sitting on their knees, you'll think KABOOST is worth every penny!  And best of all it is easy to transport, easy to use and performs exactly as it says it will!
