Tutorial: This Mama’s Fab Travel Chair

by This is Carrie on November 18, 2009

This fabric “high chair” is perfect for away from home dining.

It’s no 5-point harness, but it helps secure them in the chair.

This one was made from an old thrifted, quilted ottoman cover

Thank you for the tutorial. Great pictures. I have already made one, but made one change. My kids are taller and a little more agile than I would like so I made the strap 43 inches.

Awesome tutorial, cannot wait to make a few of these for friends with pint sized kiddos. It'd be good even for my small kids, just to keep the chairs cleaner 🙂

Thank You so much for making this tutorial to share. I made the fabric high chair this week and used it today when we went to my Aunt's for Thanksgiving. It was so much easier than taking the high chair or trying to hold my little one to feed him. Thanks again.

This is such a practical idea. Love it. I'll be filing this one away for my next shower.

Wow, awesome! Ive been looking into Tie-Chairs.. And yours is so much better and looks easier to use then others do.
I definitely have to try this, my 20 month old is crazy @ restaurants, thanks for this!

I am pretty sure you can’t put any kind of license/restriciton on a pattern that you copied from an existing item that was manufactured by a company.

Thanks for your concern, Kat. The item that inspired my pattern was also homemade back in the 70’s. To make the pattern my own (and make it better) I updated it in a few different ways.

So, because of this, I can license my pattern if you would like to make and sell the item. The pattern is free for personal use.

So if I would like to use this pattern to make and sell, how much would it cost?

I am not a seamstress at all and am wondering if I can just order one of these from you..? If so, how much would it be?

I’m sorry, but I don’t make anything to sell at this time! Good luck with your search.

Hi There,
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have now made this as part of the harness for a vintage high chair I am doing-up, I will be adding a top harness and padded back cushion, still being able to take this part out for trips to Grandparent’s etc. Mine is a little rougher round the edges than yours but I’m so pleased with it -THANKS!

For almost all the parents while traveling the need of the baby chair is required to make it more easy to carry the luggage and baby too.

I fully support you that this is simply irreplaceable thing for rodieley. Mom can not worry about the baby fall off the chair.
