Travelling with twins was always going to be a challenge but being a paranoid, sensitive premature Mum I am bound to find more obstacles than most. I am always conscious of germ possibilities and risks of infection from items used by other children and babies. After spending so long in NICU you become hyper sensiitve about such things and what the consequences could be.
One of the main obstacles when we are out and about seems to be finding two highchairs that are clean enough for my ridiculously high standards and available for use at the same time.
When I say clean I do mean completely clean and believe me there are not too many of those around! It is almost always impossible to find one let alone two! Before I have resorted to feeding Esther and William in their buggy or in their car seats, both of these options are not ideal as they are messy little eaters and so any meal consumed in this way results in the seat having to be washed.
Because of these past experiences with babies that lunch, when we went on holiday at the beginning of June we took with us a Totseat in the hope that it would allow us to eat out anywhere at any time by removing the need for two acceptable highchairs.
It worked!!
The washable squashable high chair does exactly what it says on the bag! It provides an easily transportable, easily cleaned, easily stored, hygienic feeding vehicle for babies from 8 – 30 months.
Not only is it highly practical but it is also very pretty! The Totseat comes in a bright range of funky designs. The Totseat folds away into a tiny drawstring bag that can be kept on your buggy or in your change bag. It is easy to transport, quick and simple to set up on most chairs. It is both useful and beautiful at the same time. It is also comfortable for the baby and keeps them safe and secure. Esther in particular loved it!
We have found the Totseat handy for holidays, very good for visits and helpful for home. We have used it in a range of situations and it has never yet let us down. It has fitted every chair we have tried to use it on and has kept the babies in a secure, upright position whilst at the table.
The Totseat is easy to clean. Ours has been washed and tumble dried and is still in great condition.
Totseat is widely available online for around £24, including from the Totseat website. While you are on their site check out Oobicoo!! Abother great idea from the Totseat team!
The Totseat provides great value for money. We have used ours so much that we may buy another one and then we will not have to worry about highchairs anymore, anywhere!
We were sent one Totseat free of charge for the purposes of this review. Thank you.

We have one of these brought it for our eldest and it has travelled the world with us, now being used by our youngest. Think it is brillant. Can’t believe how big the twins are getting…
I love this concept – wish I’d known about these before we went on our holiday recently! Very funky and looks incredibly easy to use. x
