Phil & Ted's Me Too! travel high chair weighs only 2.2 lbs.

Congratulations! You and your family made the connecting flight and are the first to arrive in Hong Kong. The next clue sends you off to a restaurant where, as they hand you a paper tablet and pen, you realize that getting good service may be harder than you'd expected.

In this next challenge, parent teams will have to take lunch orders from a multi-generational Chinese family of five, in Cantonese. Once the team members believe they have the order correct, they will race to the kitchen and give the order to the cooks. And once the cooks have prepared the lunch orders, team members must deliver the appropriate dishes to each member of the family before receiving their next clue. Only problem is, they’ll need somewhere to put the baby while doing all of this.

No worries. As your partner greets the hungry customers, you whip out the Me Too! travel high chair, weighing just over 2 lbs and storing conveniently in the outer pocket of your backpack. Before you can say, “Dim sum?” your travel high chair is in place, ready to support your child from 6 months up to 40 lbs right beside the Chinese grandmother who will keep him more than entertained while you make that sixth lap to the kitchen perfecting your intonation.
