The OXO Tot Perch Foldable Booster Seat is a Booster type portable high chair. Like all booster type mobile baby high chairs it’s very easy to install.
What makes this popular Amazon product, OXO Tot Perch Booster seat achieve almost 5 stars from mums who buys for their travelling toddler has a slick design. Just look at it! It’s like a designer baby booster chair that folds away neatly when not in use. I want one just because it looks so pretty! So posh! Does not look like a baby booster high chair at all! The price is affordable, easy to install, easy to keep clean just by wiping and a pretty design that is pleasant to the eye.
However, there are few disadvantages to this booster chair which have me choose the Benbat Yummigo booster seat over this one. The two big factors is that the OXO Perch Foldable Booster seat does not have a built-in carry strap for when I am travelling or to hook it onto my pram. Second factor, it does not have an in-built storage space like the Benbat Yummigo. For me, travelling around for 2 weeks in with a toddler, those things are important. Though, everyone has their own personal opinions so to help make your life decision on a great booster seat for your family, below are the pros and cons of this beautiful slick OXO Tot Perch Foldable Booster seat.
Note: With all types of portable high chairs, you have to supervise at all times. So this chair is no different except it fits on most chairs like most booster seats do.
Pros
✓ Easy to Clean – One of a few booster seats that is made entirely of non-porous fabric where it is made from a combination of plastic and synthetic leather so makes cleaning the seat so easy. You just wipe clean. For a deeper clean you can pull it apart to get into the hidden nooks.
✓ Not just a pretty face, also durable and sturdy – The OXO Tot seat does not look like a baby booster seat at all. The design is smooth and slick with nice colour choices. Very posh looking. The seat is also durable with soft cushion seat for ultra comfort and safety. Additionally, the bottom of the seat is non-slip to keep booster secure while perched on an adult chair.
✓ Light weight and compact – The OXO Tot seat is easily folded away into a compact box when not in use. And it is made with light weight material making it easy to carry around.
✓ Easy installation – Like all other booster seats, it is easy to install but what makes OXO Tot better than the others is the hard cover plastic back rest which does not need to be tied to the back of the chair to be held up. It can hold up by itself.
✓ Quality safety straps – The OXO Tot safety straps are durable and can extend to much larger toddlers. Additionally, when not in use or when toddlers no longer need the straps, it can be tucked away neatly under the seat and not left hanging around loosely. Very clever!
✓ Very compatible with any chairs – like all booster seats, it is very compatible with all types of chairs. But what makes the OXO Tot even better is the non slip bottom and a hard cover back rest which allows the booster seat to be installed even without being attached by straps to a chair. Of course, this would be for much older kids that just need a boost and of course, at all times need to be supervised.
Cons
✘ Not suitable for child under 1 years old – In fact from the manufacturer at OXO Tot themselves, they only recommend for kids over 3 years old! Personally, the design is very similar to other booster seats, so I don’t see why you can’t use it like any other booster seats from age 1 when your toddler can sit up well. As long as, they don’t need side or back support so the toddler will need to be able to sit upright quite well.
✘ No internal storage – While travelling, the internal storage can be quite a bonus but the OXO Tot does not come with this feature. Though it makes it up with a soft comfortable cushioned seat.
✘ No in-built strap – The OXO Tot although folds flat does not come with any carry bag or in-built carry straps. So if you were travelling, you will need to either put it under a pram or put it into another bag that you are also carrying when travelling.
✘ Crumb Catcher – Not a huge deal as you can take it apart for cleaning but thought to mention this as some mums has raised this concern. The OXO Tot catches crumbs quite easily at the back between the cushion seat and the hard cover back due to its huge gap. However this can be easily solved by taking the seat apart and giving it a good wash given it is made of plastic.
In summary, I think the OXO Tot Perch Foldable Booster is a fantastic booster seat for toddlers. The booster seat is just not a pretty face, it is very functional with good safety and comfort features as well. The only downfall of this seat is the lack of storage space and an in-built carry strap, which if you are travelling is quite important. Although all these factors can be overcome by taking an extra baby bag with you while travelling and you can own a OXO Tot Perch seat that looks pretty at home and when out and about.

In summary, this is a great portable baby booster seat for travelling where it ticks the more important factors or sturdiness, bonus storage, ease of installation and ease of cleaning. The features are on-par with the 
The price tag is also very affordable compared to other similar type booster seats. If you are looking for a booster type seat, affordable, light weight, easy to carry and easy to install, the First Years On-The-Go Booster seat may be the way to go for your little one. Everyone has their own personal needs and wants so I have summarised the pros and cons below to help make your decision easier.
Let me tell you a story, when I first bought the booster seat, I chose it because it looked the most sturdy and it had a convenient storage. But even when I brought it with me on holidays, it sat inside the hotel room for a week! I was reluctant to use it because it looked bulky. It was not enticing to use. It is no wonder the Benbat Yumigo Booster does not have high sales volume as compared to other Amazon baby portable seats. The price point is not on the cheaper end as it is a premium product but also it looks bulky so that could have deterred a lot of buyers. But don’t let that fool you! Read on….. However one night, when we decided to eat at a local Korean BBQ place close to our hotel, we knew we had to use the booster as they wouldn’t have a high chairs. So we took it with us and started storing things into the container. Wow, we were blown away. We were able to store so much inside that plastic container, we didn’t really need to bring another baby bag! Goodbye Baby bag! The only item that didn’t fit was the sippy cup but I just put that into my handbag or under the pram as we still needed to use the pram for naps while we were out. No big issues there.
The next day, we just continued using the seat and left the baby bag in our hotel room. The Benbat Yummigo Booster allowed us to eat at any restaurants without having to worry about high chairs and we didn’t have to carry an additional item, as it replaced our baby bag! What a treat! Now that is what I called portable and mobile baby high chair! It was also so easy to set up and was flexible with any types of chairs. Provided you supervise at all times, the booster can be used on almost any chairs!
Another big plus worth mentioning about the Benbat Yummigo Booster is the ease of clean. Although there is some fabric material on the seat, it is the section where it is away from the baby’s food drop-zone. The food drop-zone is the plastic area and it makes it easy to just wipe off with baby wipes after use. As a baby high chair that is truly portable and mobile, you want to be able to just clean it by wiping it clean and ready for the next use. It’s not really mobile if you have to keep washing it at home or look for a washing machine when you are on holidays to clean your portable high chair. So to me, portable or mobile also means the overall use of it’s portability and mobility.
Other mums who have bought it bought it have never turned back. It was the best baby investment they ever made. There are mums who did not like this product and it is usually because their baby is too young to sit on this booster and find it not safe for that reason. The Benbat Yummigo Booster is designed for kids aged 1+ years when they are able to sit up quite well. If your baby is still too young for a booster, then I would opt for another product Inglesina – Fast Chair Table – Hook on type. It’s got it’s limitation but it is the best product out there for kids under 1 years old that provide the toddler with support if they are not sitting up that well yet.
