Anyway, I think the points I would be looking at would be the legs. Some have four little sticks holding the thing up. Some have shorter leg 'sticks' because the weaving around them nearly touches the floor.

BTW...You menitoned you want light weight? Do you have boys that are apt to pick them up and throw the seats at each other? I have all girls; they throw small things. Like darts, shoes, coffee cups, and such.
