Found this at a Target Greatland store and was thrilled to see it in person. I had been trying to decide between this and the Jeep version. I was leaning more towards this one since there is a 50 pound weigh limit as opposed to Jeep's 45 pound weight limit.
Has 2 straps to secure behind and below a chair.
The bottom has grips.
The adjustable legs are pretty cool you pull back the velcro, fold it back into the velcro on the bottom so those fabric pieces are out of the way. Lift the legs out and up, then push them down so they click into place they are very sturdy when pushed in correctly.
Has a carry handle and shoulder strap.
Inside zippered compartment can hold quite a bit. I have a take and toss sippy cup, take and toss silverware in take and toss silverware container, soft travel pack of wipes, a small bib, and I am planning on putting more in there such as the biodegradable disposable placemats. Room for a few small toys. still room for probably a couple diapers (though we're potty training so I won't add those in). There is also one pocket in the storage compartment that I might put a thin book or travel sized coloring book/crayons in. You could fit larger items in the pocket, but keep in mind that takes away from the general storage capability of the rest of it.
The outside of the bag is black and a lime green (which I LOVE). The inside is the same as pictured here. (blue, white, purple, and lime green) Very cute and would work well with either a boy or a girl.
My daughter is 28 months old and weighs 28 pounds. She is a calm toddler, but I still believe an active child would do well in this seat. It's only a 3 point harness, so if you have a toddler that is good at getting out of those, it's probably not the best one for you. Then again, it's a travel booster seat so the short amount of time he/she might be ok.
The Jeep version of this has pockets on the outside sides for additional storage and this Munchkin version does not. But I didn't want something too bulky so this is perfect for me. The interior storage fits enough for us. I also wanted to make sure I would be able to fit this in a suitcase for flights and it will, no problem.

I looked at three different boosters before purchasing this one. Reasons I chose this one:1. Does not "inflate" so therefore won't lose air and become unusable
2. Sturdy base with pop-out feet that are non-slip
3. Folds up like a breeze for portability
4. Strong enough to use at home on a daily basis
5. Stylish colors that I like (I have a boy, but could be used for a girl easily)
6. Storage compartment keeps all the items we need in a restaurant situation (forks, cup, etc.)
A little more expensive than the other two seats I looked at, but well worth it. My 2-year old is active but he sits well in this seat and likes to be up at table height without having to kneel.
Best Deals for Munchkin Travel Booster Seat
We've been using this chair since Christmas. Tonight, while strapped in, she leaned sideways, a strap broke, and she fell out of the seat, bringing the kitchen chair down with her. After about 15 minutes of red faced sobbing (hers, but almost mine), I was able to determine she wasn't injured, only scared.I wouldn't say she was unattended, but I was too far away to catch her. So, I could blame myself for taking the seat's safety for granted. I've written to the manufacturer to let them know what I think about the safety of this chair, and for a full refund.
Such a great idea, but knowing this could happen makes me wonder how it didn't happen sooner? The sewing of the straps into the seating fabric just isn't strong enough to hold a 22 lb child when she leans over. It could have been much worse.
Not recommended.
Honest reviews on Munchkin Travel Booster Seat
I read the reviews for several boosters, and decided on this one. When I put my 18 mo old daughter in it (who is in the 10th percentile for weight) she fits pretty well, except like one of the other people mentioned, the front t-shaped part of the harness doesn't come up high enough. I'm also having trouble securing the large shoulder strap under the chair and getting it to tighten as indicated in the instructions. Overall seems sturdy, and portable and good to use in a pinch when no other options are available.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Munchkin Travel Booster Seat
I bought a couple of these to take along on spring break. I have had a quality issue with one -one of the straps broke, from the top right which keeps the back upright aligned to the chair back, 4 days into use, when we were fastening it onto a chair and tightening. But this did not detract from the usability. may be a safety issue only if you are using for a very little one. But the manufacturer was extremely helpful though I have to ship back to them at my expense. I had purchased from target which refused to take back a defective used item at the store. I ended up purchasing a replacement from AmznI think this would work great for a 9 mo old and up that is pretty steady and can sit upright easily. While it has a 45 lb limit, it may be a tight fit for a chubbier child, would definitely pick the chicco if your kid is over the 85 90% in weight for height because my chubbier twin barely fits into the straps at full extension.
If you purchase the Summer Infant Tiny Diner, Blue and Kiddopotamus Bibbity Rinse & Roll Bib in Blue they match perfectly with the seat and store inside the seat easily and you have a travel kit ready to go! I have the green placemat as well and the color does not match quite as nicely if you care about those things :-)
I purchased a couple of these even though I have this one as well --Chicco TravelSeat Hook On Chair, Adventure for my 18 mo twins because the Chicco is heavy and larger to put into a suitcase. For drive to vacations, where space and weight are not constraints I like the chicco better coz it puts the babies at the table. Also the Chicco is washable while this is strictly wipe clean so definitely not for every day use as a booster.
