It's the Fisher Price Health Care Booster. I have one and I LOVE It. We use it in lieu of a high chair. It's a huge space saver, and it was really affordable. It comes in a few different colors.

Yes, Fisher Price. We have the same booster, but I have never seen it in those colors.

I used to own this FB booster. It's the cheaper version of the Health Care Booster, that sells for $19. The more expensive ones that go for $25 have an adjustable height for the booster, that your baby can sit higher or lower at the table, depending on the height of the chair and table. But the color of the adjustable booster is blue and green or maroon and kahki on amazon.com.

We have this booster and it works well. The upgraded version is slightly more expensive and worth it.

It worked really well for a younger baby starting solids and for our huge toddler as well. It straps on to everything and is actually a lot more flexible than ones that strap to the table--more support for a little person and much higher weight limit for big toddlers. It also holds a baby or toddler comfortable upright rather than an unsafe louging position.

We generally keep it in our car because it seems like a surprising large number of restaurants don't have high chairs or the high chairs they have are gross. Also great for travel and/or when friends visit.

It isn't our primary chair (we have the Arginton) but it could be if we needed it to be. It would be good for a transition before something like a Trip Trap which really isn't designed for an infant. Easy to wash. Has nice cover to keep tray clean.

Most high chairs are really poorly designed. Seriously- what is with the "recline" feature some have. This one is great and deserves the reviews it has on amazon.com .

We have the FP Rainforest booster which looks just like the green Healthy Care Deluxe but it has a cool toy thing that snaps onto the tray and it's great for keeping the baby entertained while I finish making dinner. We use it instead of a high chair and also take it with us when we go somewhere else for dinner. I also love that there are no crevices or fabric to keep clean, just smooth plastic which is easy to wipe clean.

Here you go, in yellow: http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Healthy-Care-Booster-Seat/dp/B000WU3DVG

I like that color combo! We have the seat in the blue/green combo. It replaced a big old high chair that we got with our oldest kid when we thought, "We have a baby and babies sit in high chairs so I guess we should get a high chair." Not so! Much prefer the booster option. And, all of our kids far preferred being able to sit right up to the table with us. It's much more social.

We have this FP chair in the blue/green combination with the adjustable hight. We never bought a high chair (we thought they took too much space) and my daughter used this from six months to now (22 months). We have another baby on the way and are planning on buying a second. I like this color combination! Thanks for the post!

We have it in the beige/khaki/red version (which matches our kitchen.) I love it. Wish I'd used it instead of a high chair, and probably will just buy a second with kid #2 if we're so lucky as to be able to have another. Very portable, easy to use, easy to clean. I love it.

We have the same booster seat (in blue/green) on the same chairs (Bellini, but ours are dark gray).
