The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other baby gear and nursery essentials we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Regalo 3600 DS carries one of the largest review samples in the mid-budget highchair category, with 4,600 ratings averaging 4.5 stars. That scale of feedback is meaningful because it reflects use across a wide range of family sizes, home setups, and toddler temperaments. The metal and plastic construction gives the chair a durable frame that handles the daily push-and-pull of active toddlers.
At 7.5 pounds the chair is lightweight enough for one adult to carry easily, which matches the portable designation. The 45-pound weight capacity covers most toddlers comfortably into the preschool years. At $44.99 it sits only slightly above some bare-bones competitors while bringing a much stronger review track record.
The spec sheet notes the chair is intended for toddler-stage use rather than young infants, so parents with newborns will want to wait a few months or choose a chair with a full recline and newborn insert. For toddlers already sitting upright, the 3600 DS covers the essentials: a stable seat, an appropriate harness, and a footprint compact enough for most kitchens.

Performance notes
Portable toddler highchairs in this class, particularly those with a metal frame, are typically used at the table rather than as freestanding feeding stations with their own tray. The lightweight 7.5-pound build allows parents to hook or strap the seat to most standard dining chairs. The 45-pound limit offers room to grow, and the metal-and-plastic construction handles wipe-downs without warping.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star average across 4,600 reviews is genuinely impressive and suggests the Regalo 3600 DS delivers on its core promise for a large, diverse set of buyers. With 100 recent monthly purchases on record, demand remains steady rather than declining. Reviewers in this category most often cite ease of attachment, stability, and simple cleanup as deciding factors, and the rating implies the 3600 DS scores well on at least most of those fronts.

Frequently asked questions
Can this chair be used for young infants, or is it only for toddlers?
The Regalo 3600 DS is listed for toddler use. It does not include a recline position or newborn insert, so it is best suited for babies who can sit upright without assistance, typically around 6 months and up.
How does the chair attach, and will it fit my dining table chairs?
Portable hook-on highchairs in this class typically clamp to the seat or edge of a standard dining chair using a mechanical lever or strap system. Most fit chairs without cross-bars underneath the seat, though checking your specific chair style is worthwhile before purchase.
