High chair or booster seat? And how do you keep the straps clean???

We have a Graco high chair with nice removable, washable covers. But the straps are attached to the seat and have developed a perma-smell.

We're thinking it's time to get Max up to the table anyhow, rather than feeding him in the kitchen. So maybe it's time for a booster seat? For a fresh start and a step forward.

What do you ladies use with your LO's? And please, any advice on how to keep the straps clean? TIA.

I have a booster but it has straps too that don't come out. I scrub them with bleach every so often.

We have the Fisher Price Space Saver Chair. Straps easily come out and I throw them in the wash. Most people take off the tray and angle the 'arm rests' down so that it fits at the table in booster mode. We have a weird table and can't do this at our table though. If there was a way to remove those arms we'd be golden though!
Since I wanted Aiden to eat at the table with us starting a couple of months ago I pulled out the bumbo chair and he sits in that at the table. All of his crawling and now walking slimmed down his legs big time, so he fits again. lol. And best of all, he can't get out of it himself.
