   I'm just looking into these at the moment for our up coming holiday.
 If any of you have them, which brand have you found good/not so good?
 
 TIA

   I have brought a Dinky Diner (I think its called, its in the car and can't be bothered going to check). Brought it off TM, brand new for $15.
They list them all the time.
 
 I find it awesome and have been able to use it every where so far.

   I think I know what you mean Mel, but they aren't too cheap!!
 I am hoping that a similar chair they have in Kmart is on sale this week in their Baby sale
 
 Fingers crossed!

   Do they not supply them at the resort?  Or are you wanting one for your room?

   My MIL has one at her place, but I can't remember the brand but it is great. |

     I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

   I have a material one that slips over the back of the chair, baby or child goes into it, then the front does up like a harness around them.  It is great, and you can put it into your handbag!! then throw in the washing machine when you get home.

   Thanks for all those details Mel!!!
 I've gone with the Phil and Teds me too chair.  I'm already hiring the P&T stroller from cocotots.com and they have the chair for $10 a week.
 
 Cheaper than buying one, and I figure, I've gotten away with not needing one for a year here, so probably won't need it again (unless of course I go on another holiday which is highly unlikely!@)

   The only prob with the P&T one is that its depends on the depth of the table and how it is balanced on whether you can use it.
 I found this frustrating and was constantly on edge when DS was in. i would hire it for a week before you go so you can have a play with it.

   We are going to Raratonga at the end of the month and I was just advised to request one for our room, which I have done, and it was no trouble - could this be an option for you rather than having to take your own?
