Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair:the ultimate growth high chair

Tasty food, tasty food, bite bite bite… It sounds so cozy in the song. But anyone with a little sprout in the house knows that sweet cookies are not baked. Getting your baby to eat can be a struggle. First victim:your interior. Is the custard already on the ceiling and the floor under the mashed potatoes? Well… unfortunately we can't change that. But you can make the whole hassle around food a bit easier. And more bearable. And more beautiful. With the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair!

Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair, bought when growing

Another battle that parents fight:the battle against growing. Not that we want to suppress the growth of our children – anything but. But a continuously growing child presents countless challenges. And costs money! For example, the clothes cannot be dragged on. Add to that any bottle feeding and diapers and you can already feel it… your budget seems to be getting smaller and smaller. If you like to have something left over for your little one's study (only a few more years 😉), then you buy wisely on growth. Also with the Stokke Tripp Trapp. Because their high chairs simply grow with your child. In any case, you only need to purchase one high chair. Especially if you also buy a booster seat.

The Stokke brand

Stokke is a Scandinavian furniture brand. It has been around since 1932, but in recent years they have only focused on children's products. High chairs, prams, baby carriers and nursery furniture. We previously wrote about the Stokke Steps high chair, another such beautiful one. And this time it's the turn of the other high-growth chair:the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair. We even had it extensively tested by test baby Joa (a must-read review of the chair just because of the cute photos).

Stokke is known for its minimalist Scandinavian design, I love it! They work with sustainable European beech wood † So no worries, that because of your little one's high chair there will be no forests left when he grows up. That is a lot more relaxed in that beautiful high chair, isn't it? Although the chance is small that your sprout is already breaking his head over that. But if you are a bit green and like to buy consciously, then the Stokke Tripp Trapp falls into the right category. With the Tripp Trapp you get a sustainable product. And did I mention how beautiful he is?

Stokke Tripp Trapp:practical and fashionable at the same time

It could just be that you have been sitting on the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair yourself. Because the growing high chair has been around since 1972. You can hardly imagine it. Since then, 10 million Stokke Tripp Trapp high chairs have been sold. That's a lot of happy baby bottoms that have tested the chair for you! It is also special that the design of the chair has not even been tampered with much since its launch. Of course there have been some adjustments, also in connection with extra safety requirements, but the design remains intact. New colors or other designs in the cushions are regularly added.

A nice adaptable chair

How does it work, such an adaptive chair? Very simple. You can still use the wooden high chair as a frame for babies. You attach the newborn set to the chair, so that even the smallest baby has its own place at the dining table. After about six months to 9 months, your sprout can already sit upright. Time for a new high chair? Well, time to give away that newborn set! Or to save for the next little one 😉 .

With the baby set and pillow set, your child is also safe in this phase. After about 3 years, the baby set can also be taken to the attic. From that moment on, the Stokke Tripp Trapp can be used without a baby set. The seat height and footboard are adjustable, so you can continue to use the chair even after the next growth spurts. The high chair can carry a weight of no less than 80 kilos.

The Stokke Tripp Trapp is therefore still used by quite a few teenagers and adults. With its design, it remains a beautiful chair at the table and this chair is also excellent according to the consumer association, so read on!

The construction of the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair

The Stokke Tripp Trapp therefore consists of several parts to follow the development of your child. We explain them briefly.

  1. Basic frame of the Stokke Tripp Trapp
  2. Newborn set for 0-6 months
  3. Stokke baby set for ± 6 months – 3 years
    1. Table top suitable for baby set
    2. Harness matching baby set
  4. Cushion set for the Stokke Tripp Trapp
  5. High chair for 3-5 years (and older)

1. The basis of the Stokke Tripp Trapp for all ages

That is of course the wooden frame. Because the frame has a kind of Z-shape, this chair can easily be completely slid under the table. As a result, your child can really sit at the table. That practical thing… those Scandinavians are very much at home! The basic frame is now available in 13 colors and you will always need it.

2. The Stokke newborn set for 0 – 6 months old

The Stokke Tripp Trapp newborn set is a seat for your baby, which you can use from birth until your baby is about 6 months old. You install this newborn set with a simple click on the Stokke Tripp Stairs and can also remove it again if necessary. By means of indicators (green/red) you can also see whether the set is properly attached. Very handy! If you would like a different color of upholstery on it, you can order that for a small additional cost. Of course, the cover can be removed for washing and there is a safety harness with which you can buckle your baby.

3. Stokke Tripp Trapp baby set for 9 months – 3 years

If your child can sit up by himself (around 9 months), you should go for the baby set. The baby set is a seat that you attach to the wooden frame, which provides support in the back and on the side. You use the baby set until your child is about 3 years old. The baby set is also available in all kinds of colors, so it's easy to match with your interior.

1. The table top for the Tripp Trapp high chair (playtray)

Unlike the Stokke Steps high chair, you don't need a separate table top with this chair. After all, you simply put the Stokke Tripp Trapp at the dining table. But if you want, there is still a table top available. Can be useful if, for example, you regularly have an overcrowded dining table and you are in need of extra space. With this table top you can turn it into a completely freestanding high chair.

There are several colors of the Stokke Tray available in the collection. The Tripp Trapp is of course designed for cozy sitting at the table with your child, but sometimes you only want to use the chair. Ideal to have a tray ready! Nowadays, this Tray is available in White, Black and Storm Grey.

2. A harness for the baby set

Not always necessary, but if you have a mobile child who just won't stay in his seat, a harness can come in handy. With this, your child still has freedom of movement, but he cannot get up and fall out of the seat,

4. Cushion set

In the baby set you put a cushion set so that the baby is really comfortable. This cushion set is multifunctional, because it can also be used if your child no longer fits in the baby set, but still likes to use the Stokke Tripp Trapp. The cushion sets are also available in all kinds of fun designs and colours.

A number of additional accessories are available for the baby set that you can only use in this phase.

5. The Tripp Trapp high chair from 3 -5 years

In this phase you use the Stokke Tripp Trapp without a basic set, but often still with a cushion. Is just a little more comfortable for those little children's buttocks 😉 . As mentioned, you can continue to grow the chair from this age.

Engraving

Also nice:go for a personal engraving! No more arguing about which chair belongs to whom 😉 . Or at least, that quarrel might be solved faster if your name is on your chair… There is a good chance that all children will want to use the Tripp Trapp anyway, because how nice is it to tinker at the table on this chair, or to read a book ? You will see that this chair is used for many more moments than just during dinner!

These are the costs

Well, you can talk long and wide about that, but that is a matter of adding up. If you want all variants and extra accessories so that your baby can use the Tripp Trapp from Stokke from birth, you will spend a maximum of € 769.00. That's not cat piss.

Of course you can make your own choices and with only the base and a pillow set you are also ready for a child from 3 years. Looking at the quality, the lifespan and the usage time, the price is fine, even if it is a lot of money for the entire package.
