Table for Three?


This week's Sunday family lunch was at Tanglin Club. Fuzzy and I decided to try out a new purchase. I found this Dutch product online, called Sack n' Seat. It's a seat cover/ harness that fits over dining chairs, holding the baby in snugly. It's great because Chubbs' will always have a clean seat (we are germaphobes), he won't be stuck in uncomfortable and dirty baby chairs, it's as if we're holding him in our laps, he can perfect his sitting skills, and being in an adult chair by himself makes him feel like a big boy. He was so thrilled. Some restrictions to this product are, that the baby must be able to sit stably on his own, and the dining chair has to be quite regular in size and shape. The chair Chubbs was given was a little too tall, so our booster was towels under his bum.



You won't believe this, but Chubbs sat in his special seat for a whole hour (no fussing even though it was nap time)! All we did was give him his teether and links to play with, and we did not need to carry him once. He just sat there playing on his own, chatting with the waitresses and watching the buzz of the restaurant. Good job, buddy! For the first time ever, Fuzzy and I could both eat at the same time, enjoy and finish our meal without having to tour the restaurant with Chubbs. With this special seat, I can make reservations for three from now :)


I am so proud of him.
