Mutsy Grow Up booster seat!

i just got a Mutsy Grow Up booster seat! ...cannot wait to have my daughter try it out. it is super lightweight and looks extremely comfortable. i got the seat in APPLE, but it comes in 5 other bright and delicious colors: RASPBERRY, NUT, MANDARIN, BLUEBERRY, and AQUA!


The most stylish seat at the table for baby. Mutsy’s Grow-Up! booster seat allows baby to sit in the average grown up chair safely and comfortably. Grow-Up! features a clever harness to ensure baby is securely fastened. The easy to clean, easy to transport seat is ideal from when baby can sit unaided to approximately 4 years of age.
