Stokke Tripp Trapp

Hated my inherited big plasticky highchair with nasty grime filled nooks and crannies on the seat and tray, kept falling over it and couldn't get it clean. Dithered for ages about spending lots of money on this but am chuffed to bits with it. My daughter is secure, comfy and is able to sit up at the table to eat. (Recommend summer infants flexible silicone table mat to use with it). It's very easy to clean, fully adjustable and stylish. I confess I bought the harness on eBay but it looks like resale values remain high so might yet be able to offset some of the outlay in 10 years time!

I bought this thinking it offered the best in terms of looks, practicality and longevity. My daughter loved the baby nest but she is so uncomfortable in the padded baby set I have had to buy a new chair. She was also pushing her legs against the table and rocking backwards on my uneven stone floor. I have now bought the OXO chair which I can't rate highly enough!

Love these adaptable chairs, ours are looking a little worse for wear as they have been used everyday for 10 & 12 years, adults use them just as often as kids now, very comfy.
My 1 criticism...there is nothing quite so painful as stubbing your toe on the large base part! And I can't count the number of times I've done it!

I love the philosophy of having our baby join us at the dining table and the fact that this chair will last for years. We bought this with the baby set and were given the newborn seat as a gift. I probably wouldn't have paid extra for the newborn seat as the baby doesn't use this to eat and my baby has grown out of it after only 3 months but I have really enjoyed having my baby at the table to get used to dinner times and the newborn seat can be used separately as a rocker. This chair is expensive but totally worth it!!

First tried this out in a cafe and DD was delighted by it. I knew that I wanted to do BLW and that the Tripp Trapp and the Antilop were the two most recommended and DH declared that he would pay for the Tripp Trapp if it meant he didn't have to go to IKEA.

It's not the easiest to assemble but it's very solid and the adjustable platforms mean it should last years. And unlike many of the more garish seats on the market, this blends in with our dining table...! Even without the padding DD is comfortable in it and can sit right up at the table making mealtimes very enjoyable for her. It's also very easy to clean with a damp cloth and flat surfaces mean there are no padded crevices for mush to cling to and crust over.

The price definitely gave me pause but it's so worth it and I believe they hold their value well on eBay. Definitely worth considering - quite a few cafes seem to use them so I imagine that speaks well of their durability.

Totally love this high chair. I had to talk my husband into getting it because of the cost but my little boy is 5 now and still loves his Tripp TRapp (in fact he has just very kindly let his little sister use it, but this involved lots of bribery). Also they retain a decent value on Ebay.

This is the best really! Little one gets to sit up the table and have a proper meal like mum and dad!. Good support for baby posture and adjustable foot support. Appliances make this feeding chair expensive but it is designed for life so it's an investment!

I love these chairs and have 2 of them.

The only thing that has been tricky is that 2 of the DC's have gone through a short stage where they have tried to put their feet up onto the table ledge and push back...this has easily been remedied by putting a belt around the table legs and the chair until they grow out of it.

The best thing is that they take up so little space and once the DC's are too large for a normal high chair they can sit at the table properly on one of these rather than wriggling about on a normal chair.

Love this chair, whilst it is expensive it is the kind of piece of furnoture that you don't mind having in your house! You can buy a tray (on Amazon) which is brilliant too (although expensive again!)
Love it!

This was the best [painful amount of money] we spent when ds/dd were small. Lovely to look at, easy to clean, comfy and super-stable. Plus we got a good chunk of the outlay back when we sold it via ebay!

I had this when my eldest was 1 - she is now almost 9 - and both my other younger children have used it. My youngest who is nearly 5 still sits on it - it's now 'his chair' apparently! I can see us using the Tripp Trapp for many years to come as the design fits well into our functional kitchen diner! A great highchair/toddler chair/childs chair etc!

I don't like this high chair and am going to sell it on eBay. I have a large eight month old boy and have been using it for the last couple of months. I thought it would be ideal not having a tray and having him eat at the table with us and was impressed by all the good reviews, but he can't reach the table properly from the babyset attachment, and it's a little low for our average height table. I don't think it even looks all that great.

Definitely one to buy secondhand as it's prohibitively expensive new (what with all the add-ons). The baby-set is essential.

I LOVE this, and didn't realise how much until I used other highchairs. It is easy to keep clean, can be pulled up to the dinner table, has a shallow seat so baby sits properly and food doesn't end up in his lap (well, not as much as with the traditional tray type!). It has a tiny 'footprint' so it is brilliant for a small house/dining room. It's a handsome bit of furniture.

The Tripp Trapp lasts a long long time, no finger-traps, excellent reselling potential, super adjustable.

Like any baby product you have to be aware of safety issues and keep an eye on your child. The Tripp Trapp can be tipped if the child kicks against the table and my son can easily stand up/crawl onto the table if inclined. But then I chose not to use the harness.

Highly recommended, particularly if family mealtimes/baby-led weaning are important to you.

You can definitely make heavy weather of researching baby stuff online, so I decided to just go for a Tripp Trapp when two good friends with older babies spontaneously recommended it, and I'm glad I did. It's robust and easy to adjust, and it's composed of nice flat or gently curved surfaces so that it's easy to clean - no nooks and crannies for gunge to fester in. The baby set and cushions come off easily for cleaning too; the cushions wipe clean quite well, go in the machine for things that don't respond to wiping and dry quite quickly afterwards. My son (seven months at the moment) sits contentedly in it for longer than he'll stay put anywhere else, so I take it that it's comfy enough. It's sufficiently attractive that I'm happy to have it sitting in our living/dining room for a good few years, and both my and my husband's mums complimented us on it unprompted when they saw it. Last but certainly not least, it does not have the splayed legs occupying a large floor area that many highchairs do; for someone as prone to tripping over things as I am, this is vital to keeping me and my son intact and out of A&E.

The Tripp Trapp is certainly expensive, especially when you add the baby set, harness, cushions and so on, of which the baby set at least is essential in order to use it as a highchair. I spent a while on eBay getting an idea of the going rate and buying the chair and baby set second-hand; the chair had been used for a number of years but is still absolutely sound and solid, and the finish withstood some vigorous sticker removal so that it now looks lovely too.

I bought the Playtray, not by Stokke but made to fit the Tripp Trapp by another company, so that we can also have the chair in the kitchen where there's no room for a table. It's lovely and solid with a good rim to contain spills, and is also very easily cleaned. It was well worth the additional expense to be able to do things in the kitchen while the baby plays with things on the tray. This was another second-hand purchase, and unsurprisingly for such a solid piece of gear it bears no scars of its past life. It's rather heavy, but this is no problem.

I plan to buy another one next time around, if our son is still in the one we have.

I bought a second-hand Tripp Trapp from ebay, and it was immaculate considering it had been used for three children! It is such a design classic, and is the most sturdy highchair I've come across. It is so flexible - my son has used with crotch strap and reins, and now just crotch strap, which will in turn soon be removed. The height is easily adjustable, so that growing legs can be supported properly and given the room they need. The Tripp Trapp cushions come off easily and clean up in the washing machine and come out shining brightly each time (which is a miracle!).
I have also bought a playtray (not a Stokke product) but very very handy and easily cleaned/attached, with a big space and rimmed edge.
If anything the only 'downside' for some is that it can't be folded up and put away - but we didn't want that (despite not much space) as it's a gorgeous bit of furniture, and is used so much I'd be getting it out and putting it away all day long! The allen key is needed to put foot/bum bits lower or higher, add remove belly bar, change back/head rest - but most people have allen keys - and we keep ours close by now so we don't have the house upside down as and when we need to adjust it!
I wouldn't hesitate in buying another Tripp Trapp for number 2, as I can't see my son giving his up (or sharing it!) very soon as he loves going in it. I couldn't recommend this highly enough.

This seemed like a big purchase, but a decade and four children later it is still going strong and looking great.
As your toddler grows you need to adjust the seat down, otherwise it is dfficult to get him or her in. However, I don't mind this as being able to adjust for a perfect fit at every stage from weaning to adulthood is one of this chair's USPs.
Easy to clean, stable, robust, comfortable and attractive - what more can you ask? I just wish we'd bought the children one each as we went along.

Pluses: Looks good and takes up little space, and it's great for DD to be able to eat at the table at the same height as the rest of us. It's sturdy but if using the additional baby pack then you do need to make sure that the stabilisers supplied with it are fitted as it looks as though it would topple over otherwise.

Negatives: Value for money not a strong point, so I would recommend buying secondhand for your first child and then getting as much use as possible out of it. Initial price includes only chair, not the harness or the baby seat, cushion or tray, so there are a lot of potential extras to be factored in when budgeting to buy this. DD happens to be a skinny minnie but even then I felt the baby seat doesn't allow much room.

Boy, did I over research this one. Very easy to assemble, solid feel and takes up so little space (!), less than an adult chair. So thumbs up on design. However, at times my nipper looks darned uncomfortable in it. I made too much of a big deal about buying this chair, its just a chair at the end of the day and I should have just purchased something less expensive to do the job.

We LOVE this highchair! It is the best baby product we have bought. We spent a long time deciding where our money was best spent and we don't regret our decision at all. It is expensive but when you think about how many times a day your baby/ child will be using it, and that you will be using it far longer than a normal highchair, you will more than get your money worth. We also bought the Play Tray from Amazon to go with it which is brilliant.

I have 3 of these - for my boys ages 2,5 and 8 - the chairs grow with the children and allow them to be high enough up even when they are too old for normal high chairs. they can be pushed backwards by a determined toddler pushing against a table though.

I bought my Tripp Trapp 3 years ago for my eldest child and he has only just stopped using it to make way for his younger brother. It was an expensive purchase but it is comfortable for all ages, easy to assemble, easy to clean, attractive to look at and takes up minimal floorspace. Best of all when my baby has finished with I hope to sell it on. Only slight problem is that you have to take it apart to get the cushions into the wash. As they are only needed for first six months it isn't a big deal

Hi, I was looking for a highchair and as per the comments for the Stokke Tripp Trapp it seems people are generally happy with that type of product.

Looking at some reviews I found this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJF7vD9nFrA

For me I won't buy that chair just for that reason...

After world's longest high chair consultation process, I ordered a red Tripp Trappe with some reservations. I loved it immediately: I assembled it in 20 minutes and every thing worked a charm. It takes up only the space that a regular chair would in our tiny dining area, and our baby immediately became an active member at our dinner table. We are just this week starting weaning, but lovely to have baby at the table already. He is much happier here than in the bouncer on the floor. And last but not least, it makes a strong visual statement, but in a smart stylish way, not a monstrous carbuncle in your home kind of way. I'm glad we paid up for the Tripp Trappe and know we'll use this chair in some capacity for our son for many years.

Love my red Stokke Tripp Trapp! Baby really looks comfortable in it, it's very sturdy. Lovely bright striking colour and easy to clean.

We bought this expensive seat after looking at the reviews on Kiddicare, i think we were influenced a bit by the snob value.
This is a well made product, however the safety harness broke after a week.

My problem is that our baby wont sit in it properly, I have adjusted it many times but she just straightens her body and goes rigid.
Why is it that she loves the fifteen quid ikea one at her grandparents but hates the one that cost far more? I have persevered for months but have decided to go to ikea this weekend and pick up a cheapie.

We came to the store to buy the Bloom highchair and went away with a Stokke tripp trapp chair. We went to the caffee for lunch and used Stokke there; the test drive went well and our 5 month old loved seating in the highchair and watching the world go round. She needed harness though. I would highly recommend this chair to everyone!

The Tripp Trapp is not a budget option, but having said that it will last longer than most high chairs. My son loves sitting in it and I've found it suprisingly easy to clean - even the cushion covers. I particularly like the fact that it looks just like a normal chair and can be pushed under the table out of the way when it's not being used.

We ordered our first Tripp Trapp soon after our second child was born. We'd previously had a standard wooden high chair with a tray but with our four year old, we wanted the new baby to be able to sit at the table with us during meal times so the Tripp Trapp was the best choice for us. We were so impressed with it that 3 weeks after our baby started using it, we ordered another one for our four year old to use as a normal chair with the seat set to a higher setting to make sitting at the table more comfortable for him too. I can definitely say that the Tripp Trapp has been one of my top purchases with either of my children and our baby (now a one year old) and our four year old love to sit at the table and eat. They also use them to sit to the table to play, draw etc.

Our baby has always been a fidget, to the point where she can climb out of most high chairs when we are out to eat, but the Tripp Trapp holds her nicely and she is happy to sit in it too.

Great for puree weaning or baby led weaning, I'd say this chair is a must for any family. Our children love to sit at the table and eat with us and our four year old is always disappointed when we eat out and the restaurant doesn't have one of his special "Stokke Boy Chairs".

The price reflects the quality of the chair and the amount of use you will get for years to come.

When it comes to storage, there is no need for it to fold up, it simply tucks under your dining table like the rest of your chairs.

The colour range is great too so I think there's something for everyone.

All in all, a great buy and as I mentioned before, definitely one of my top purchases as a Mum.

Love it!
Brilliant for at table, BLW shared eating experiences.

We got our tripp trapp a couple of weeks ago for our 6 month old baby and we/she loves it. Promotes eating at the table so we all eat together which is messy but fun. She also sits and plays in it at the table when not eating. If you have a fancy table, put a mat on it so baby doesnt damage the table. Also our baby is extremely active and bobs up and down in it/flings herself about. I dont think any other chair would still be upright with all the movement, but the tripp trapp has extendable support on legs so she is very safe it it.

Although putting it together looks complicated when you take it out of the box, it isnt and is well worth the 15 mins or so it takes.

Plus it looks great and lasts throughout childhood.

We have two Tripp Trapps and they are the best buy we have made for our dc. This is in terms of how long they are being used for (from 6 months to adulthood) My dd (6) now has hers positioned so that dh and I can sit in it no problem. I'm sure she will use it for years to come. And the second point is there is nothing we have disliked about them. They do the job and look good too.

I would strongly advise you watch this before getting a tripp trapp

I have four Tripp Trapp's in my house - so it is safe to say that I love it. Each of my children have had them since they were old enough to be weaned and I have recommended it to so many people that I have lost count.
I think that it really comes into its own as a chair as your child moves out of the baby set. from toddlerhood through early schooling it is an essential piece of equipment. My oldest child is now 7 and he still uses his Tripp Tapp at the kitchen table everyday and to be honest i prefer to sit on them than on the two adult chairs that we have!

Excellent chair!

I do love the chair, but am now up at 4am as I'm having nightmares about baby J falling through the gap between the crotch strap and the side. She is a very curious little girl and turns 180 degrees and her bottom slips through the gap. She also pushes off from the table with her legs. I do love the chair, but maybe she's a bit young for it - 9 months. I love the way t helps her socialise, but worry about safety if I need to pop in to the kitchen 2 metres away to get a cloth etc. I'm going to buy a harness and see if this helps me sleep.

Very easy to assemble. Comes in lovely colours so can fit with your other furniture. Involves child in mealtimes because he can sit with you at the table. Lasts forever, your child is likely to get quite attached to his/her special chair! Lovely cushion covers although they're not necessary. We never used the harness, I suppose if your child is very active or wants to get out all the time they may be useful but seems like an over-the-top accessory to us.

We LOVE this highchair and have yet to see a nicer and more practical one. Why would anyone go for any other chair? If you find it's a bit pricey go on ebay there are loads of used ones for sale and this is a quality product which tends to be in good shape even after years of wear.

Have used a tripp trapp since mine were able to sit in one at six months. Still using it for 3 year old who is not quite tall enough to sit at the table in an adult size chair. Our original one has now been passed on to a cousin and is still in use 6 years on! If you're looking to the long term this is the one for you. Tucks in nicely to our table and doesn't offend the eye. Hated the cushions though, always in the wash. Gave up in the end and just covered the cushioned seat with a tea towel!

Got one for our son when he was just one, and it is great. He loved it immediately and I do too, its easy to keep clean (even in white) and looks great. I just wish the accessories, cushions etc, were not so expensive.

I bought the Tripp Trapp as I can't stand the look of the plastic ones which can cost around

Definatly a MUST and just brilliant if you want to have your kid eating at the table with you. They feel part of whats going on I am sure for that reason learn to eat well. It is not cheap but it will last them for years. My 19 year old niece is still using hers now for studying. It is a bit of a pain to clean (but arn't they all?) and adjust but its a small price to pay. I am always happy to be home for meal times because I find other chairs (specially the ones with trays) really unpractical.

Quite heavy to lift and I wish I had bought one in natural wood colour rather than blue as over vigorous cleaning has scratched the paintwork a bit. DS did not want to sit in it by the time he could manage on an ordinary chair but I think we got our money's worth. Fabric seat covers are a pain. Some damage done to our pine dining table wih toddler banging beaker on the soft wood - definitely another reason to get a plastic table mat. Despite these drawbacks I was really pleased with the chair overall and I'm looking forward to dusting it off for arrival of no.2.

I have three of these for each of my children (4,3 and 9m) and cannot rate the tripp trapp highly enough! I finally decided to buy one for my then 6m old, and after lots of research could see the benefits for my two older children(they never looked comfy at the table). They are expensive, but will last for years, they are easy to clean(unlike those big bulky highchairs) and they look really good at the table. My only regret is that I should have bought them in different colours so we know who's whose!

Wonderful - bought on ebay to save a little money. DS1 is 6 mths old and loved sitting at the table with us, we're also people that like to sit down to cup of tea at table and it was lovely he was right with us and we didn't need to balance him on our laps. He was really comfy in it too! First class. My Mum loved it too and has just bought a 2nd for her house for when we visit

Absolutely love it! Bought when son was 4 months and used it from then on with a folded up tea towel on either side of the baby insert to stabilise him.

Our son really really likes being up at the table with us. He does make a bit of mess but I'm not really bothered there is no baby tray- just clean up the kitchen table afterwards.

Aesthetically v. pleasing. A fantastic buy.

Our trip-trap has done sterling work - my son's now 8 and still uses it. Quality workmanship, much nicer than the plasticky thing we originally bought for him, and I can vouch for its durability. A friend of mine has one for each of her 3 kids (aged from 1 to 9) and loves them too. It may seem expensive at first, but this really is a chair that adapts to suit your child's growth - potentially till they leave home - as it converts to a 'normal' chair once they're too tall to need a footrest.

I hated this and we ended up selling it on ebay within a few days! Was so difficult to get my little boy in and out of due to the front bar - on other high chairs this usually slides out but with the Tripp Trapp it is fixed. Not worth the money.

Fantastic. We have been using one for the past 3 years for my oldest son and plan to buy another for my year old son. I think it has been the best investment of all the "baby" bits we had to buy.

so easy to clean.

Fantastic. Allows babies to join you at the table as soon as they can sit up; practical, comfy, and not hideous with cartoons or garish colours. Although it seems expensive, it really will be the only high chair you need; I've bought a second for our new baby, and my nieces are still using theirs at 5 and 7; bear in mind just how long it is before children can really comfortably sit on an adult chair. Can't say enough good things about it.

An amazing chair! We were lucky enough to be given one when my son was born, and have used it since he's been able to sit up by himself (along with the babyset and cushion set.) He loves being sat at the table for having his meals or just sitting and playing at a height that means he's safe and able to see what's going on. Only thing I would say is that the base cushion is a bit awkward to use when you've got the brackets for the harness in place. It means that you have to have the seat quite far back, which didn't suit our little boy. Also you have to loosen the whole chair to take it off to wash (which could be quite often) so we've given up and he just uses his nappy as his seat cushion! :-) I love it and recommend it to anyone who asks me what we use. I know it's expensive, but when you consider it will take an adult it can easily be transported to their bedroom for their desk once they've decided they don't want it at the table anymore! Although having said that my cousin's little boy is 6 and he and his friends always fight over who's going to sit in his so it isn't seen as a baby seat by 6 year old boys!
Buy one if you can afford it, you will get your money's worth.

I usually go for foldable things so I'm surprised that I rate this so highly. We've got the baby kit on it so it's got a raised back and a bar across the front to keep them in. I initially thought that the pale/stripey cover wouldn't last one meal before being ruined or at least needing washing but it's actually lasted really well. You can wipe it down and it comes pretty clean which is just as well as the cover doesn't come off without dismantling the chair. Surely a design fault! We also cheated by buying a detatchable tray from someone on ebay. It is made from the same wood so it matches perfectly and just clips on. Stokke don't like it apparently as it goes against the principle of the Tripp Trapp, but I love it and it gives us the flexibility of having DD eating away from the table.

I don't know how anyone can do without the Tripp Trapp. I bought one for my oldest child - with the view that i would pass it on when my next one needed a highchair. I ended up buying another! Then came another baby and another Tripp Trapp. In fact I prefer to sit on it myself!
This is one product that really does give you value for money. What other chair can all the family use?

we love it. All our children have one, in use from age 1 year to 6 years and anticipate many more years use to come. The hieght adjustability really comes into its own for those toddler / preschool years. Not sure how great it would be for younger babies as not very supportive seating. Never used the fabric covers. Don't regret it.

This has been one of the best pieces of kit I have bought. We bought a cheap

We have two of these and the children have used them since the ages of 2 and 4. I can't comment on how good they are for babies therefore. However, for toddlers and small children they are fantastic. They adjust completely to provide the optimum sitting position for the child, with a solid footrest that stops a child from dangling their legs or slumping. We changed our kitchen table for one with quite a deep skirt to it, and the chairs adjusted completely to fit the new table, in a way that our previous high chairs could not have done. The children can be tucked right in to the table and are able to sit upright in a comfortable way.

I was hesitant about buying a tripp trapp as I wanted to feed my baby in the kitchen (not in our carpeted living room) and we don't have a table in the kitchen so thought I would need a highchair with a tray. I was also put off by the price and the fact it doesn't fold. I changed my mind having sat my baby in a friend's tripp trapp and various restaurant highchairs. The difference in her posture was remarkable - the tripp trapp really encourages her to sit up well (I believe Dutch schools encourage parents to buy tripp trapps for their children to use in school). She almost falls out of other highchairs. Not folding hasn't proved so much of an issue as I just put it away at the table in the living room and it fits almost underneath.

Brilliant! Looks great, tucks in under the table like one of the chairs and encourages your baby to eat with you at the table and be part of the family. Wouldn't bother with the padded seat cushions. No need (he's sitting on a nappy anyway!) and makes wiping down so easy. Oh, and I have a round table and have found no problems at all.

I have friends who have had one for years and have always said I want one for my child. He is now 5 1/2 months old and loves sitting in it even though we don't yet feed him in it. (He's not weaned yet). It is a very expensive chair but when you think they can use it till they are in their teens it's not really that bad and I always pay for quality and style. The support of my babies back is of upmost importance to me and this chair stops him slouching and slipping and sliding all over. He can see all around him and he's at our level at the dining table. The interaction at mealtimes is invaluable and I wouldn't hesitate to get another if we have more children.
Putting it together is a little fiddly at first especially if you do get the separate baby attachment, harness and seat cover. A good tip is to read all the individual instructions before you start.It's not often you need to adjust things but just tape the alan key to the underside of the seat or foot rest.
Not a chair to be stored but a piece of Swedish design to be kept on view to admire. Another good tip is to choose a different colour baby attachment to the seat colour you are buying. If you get it right then it looks a bit different and even more stylish. We opted for the light oaky type wood and a green baby seat with tales seat cover. It really fits into our dining room.
A lot of people mention that the downside of this chair is that it doesn't have an attached table...you can actually buy one from stokke. It's expensive and having not bought one I don't know how good it is. The whole point of this chair for us is to have our son at the table with us and not sat 3/4 foot away from us. The only other thing to point out is that if you have one of these chairs be aware that you dining table will go through a bit of a bashing as your child bounces numerous hard toys and cutlery off of your table. Get a good wood table or maye a metal one but don't be too precious about it. We specifically got a wood one that looks better with age and after a few beatings! (or get yourseld a hard table covering).
My husband came home from work the other and found my son in his tripp trapp sat next to me whilst I did some work at the computer. He had some toys to play with and was right beside me at the desk. Daddy loved that we were together and that he wasn't left to play on the floor or in his bouncer away from mummy! I'd recommend anyone to buy one but think hard about how you want to use it first before splashing out.

This chair is ideal - as a matter of fact - my kids are old enough now to have the front bar off both and I frequently find myself sitting in it typing reviews/notes for Mumsnet!

I love this chair. Obviously it's a great design piece but it's also so practical. It fits under the table so is hardly noticeable, unlike a huge plastic thing but the best features are 1. baby likes to be at the table and is learning all the time by watching everyone else 2. it's so easy to clean. The only downside I have found is that because my son is tall, even at 6months, we have had to lower the seat to get him in and out easily - this means he is sitting a little low at the table. It doesn't seem to bother him though! Value for money - very high because the resale value on Ebay is incredible.

I love it. Neat, stylish, attractive but best of all my baby is at the table for every meal with us with no big tray separating us. My only criticism is that you have to unscrew bits of it to get the cushion off to wash it. Other than that it's perfect!

Love this highchair and found my baby could sit well in it before he could sit independently. He sits up to the table with us at meal times so not bothered about the lack of tray. Worth shopping around on the internet for some good savings as one site promises to price match!

Just to add to what other people have said...I have put my son in his from 12 weeks (okay he is a biggish chap). The 'close fit' of the safety cross bar, and the cushion - if you have invested in one - means that baby does not slide down. My son loves being up high at the table with his big brother even though he is so small. Happy as Larry in the Stokke chair even though he has to work a bit harder to keep himself upright - whereas if we put him down in the bouncer when we were all at the table he would fuss.

This is the best piece of equipment we have bought. We used it right from when our daughter was tiny, even though she used to slump in conventional highchairs. It slots in nicely under the table, doesn't take up loads of space and means that the baby really feels part of family meal time. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely looking and you wouldn't buy it if you wanted to fold up and store. Don't find the fabric covers create a problem as I just put them in the wash with all the other laundry every few days and dry overnight.

I used to think it was the perfect (and beautiful looking) highchair, but it has two faults
1. THe mess - sometimes a tray would be really handy therefore another time I would choose a chair with a removeable tray so I could have the option
2. My son actually caused the chair to tip backwards, something I thought was impossible due to the design. It was placed on a blanket (to limit the mess) and he pushed back with his feet against the table. Miraculously his head hit a thick doormat, but it could have been really nasty.

However, I now make sure this can't happen and overall I think I am fairly pleased with it.

Recommended. Tripp Trapp is a piece of furniture built to last rather than an item of baby equipment. I love the way it blends in with the 'grown up' furniture, and that our son can eat all his meals at the table with us, as a family.

Fantastic highchair! Really stylish and fits happily into any decor. I really like the fact that you can choose the chair frame colour and cushions seperately (if you look around, there are a lot to choose from). Although initially expensive this really will last your child forever. Baby seat is a must, my 3 year old is still using hers and I feel she is much safer with the security of a bar and sturdy backrest.

five years on and going strong, in fact we all fight over sitting on this practical piece of furniture

Best piece of equipment we brought, my daughters love being at the meal table and I love them being in a good sitting position with footrest. Would recommend it to anyone.

One of my all time fav baby items. I loved the Tripp Trapp so much that we did away with our adult kitchen chairs and bought 4 Tripp Trapp's instead! It is great that whenever we have family or friends round all the children can sit comfortably at the table and as we pretty much live i our kitchen it is something that I couldn't do without.

A very good piece of furntiure worth investing in because it can last the life of the child

I bought this for my toddler to replace a very comfortable but huge Chicco highchair. We like it because it looks fab and takes up a third of the space, while my son loves it because it's a 'big boy's chair'. The only drawback is that, as my son is almost three, we didn't buy the straps but it means he can get off whenever he wants to - in the Chicco he was strapped in and we made sure he had actually finished eating before getting him down... Now, if he's a bit bored halfway during dinner, he will attempt to escape unnoticed! In any case, highly recommended, though for a baby I'd rather use a padded highchair instead.

Great chair that is still used daily, even though ds is now 7. Even dh and I like to use - so it pays off the initial investment. The ability to sit at the table meant that the baby was fully involved in family meals from the start.

Looks lovely, lasts for years. A proper piece of furniture that actually fits around the table with our chairs. Just wish I'd bought one of these first time around instead of a horrid plastic eyesore that cost almost as much and I couldn't wait to get rid of!

Excellent chair. I hope my son will use this until he leaves home! I have only used it for a toddler, rather than a baby, but my son is so much happier in this chair, rather than on his knees in a regular chair. He is much more likely to sit and eat (or read, or do arts and crafts) in this chair than an adult chair. The only problem is my table, which due to its design, means that my son's legs are rather stuck between the chair and the table. But that is not a design fault of the chair. I would highly recommend it!!

I was very keen to get my son the 'best' highchair to promote good posture and was taken with the promotional blurb from stokke. It has not really worked out for us, as we have a circular dining table, so he cant reach much of the table - as we are doing baby led weaning and encouraging finger food this posed a big problem. The chair looks very cool and i love the stripey seat cover, but it just doesnt suit our needs. Also, a major design flaw is that you have to take the chair apart with an allen key to remove the seat cover to wash it. I have now bought a not so stylish fisherprice healthy thingy chair, which although garish is very useful and has made meal times much more enjoyable.

If you enjoy diy and have a rectangular table, then go for it, but otherwise - beware - you may end up buying a different one and feeling a tad foolish!

Stokke Tripp Trapp is brillant. Both my DC have one. But I didn't find it worked as well when my DS wanted to be spoon-fed. But now, both DC sit comfortably at the table and enjoy the meal.

Expensive yes, but it looks great, goes with the furniture and does it's job. We bought the baby gubbins and dd was happy in it from 4 months on. Downside - we have all stubbed our toes on the base. But then it is very sturdy and takes a toddler climbing on it without the tiniest wobble. And she'll still use it to eat from. Sometimes :0)

This is a really well designed chair. Tom loves being able to sit up at the table with us and it gives really good support from an early age. The price is a bit misleading as if you are going to use this for a baby, the baby set and cushion are essential. However, it's still great value for money and by far the best high chair we've used.

Fantastic chair but only for the older baby/toddler. We had this from 12mths and was one of the best purchases we made. Only suitable for when your child can sit up 100% unaided, so therefore not ideal for weaning etc.

This is a fab chair, really good for getting started at the table. Should point out though that the price given doesn't include the insert for little babies, about

Best buy we've made. Has seen three years' use so far and expect it to carry on for many more. Particularly useful for the 'in-between' stage, when toddlers have grown out of traditional high chairs (or refuse to use them) but are still too small to sit properly on a proper chair. Easy to adjust, easy to clean, looks good.

we thought it was great still have it in use even though my children are 6 and 3 years old, it is brilliant to have around for visiting babies/small children and useful as a spare chair for an adult, though not so comfy for long periods of sitting.

I will keep it forever, or to pass on and share with friends and family..... so much better than a cumbersome big high chair, great that my children sat at the table from their first meals...

I know it is fairly expensive but it is so different from other highchairs... made of wood, no nooks and crannies that are hard to clean, adjustable so it fits at any table and suits your child's height... it is the environmentally friendly choice of high chair imho and you can use it forever....

Fantastic chair - used from 5 months. Great for weaning as you can sit directly in front of your child without a tray in between. For older children it enables them to be at the correct height for the table - which encourages good eating habits at family meal times, and is also great for craft activities - paint wipes off very easily.

We bought it because it is supposed to be the Rolls Royce under the highchairs plus we liked the idea it would grow with your child. However within one week our son toppled backwards with the chair. He pushed himself off against the table and we ended up in A&E as he landed on a corner of the sideboard! Really annoying as the lady in the shop told us it couldnt fall backwards because of its design anyway we are now using the handysitt and are pleased with it. The good thing about the Stokke is is that it keeps it value a we nearly sold it for what we paid for it on Ebay.

overall very good. Baby is at the table with rest of family. We thought it worth money to buy new, our 3rd child & 1st triptrap! Easily sponged down after yet another messy meal- dries quickly.Easy assembly etc. BUT COMPLETE PAIN to disassemble to launder baby seat padding, you have to be content to wipe down - suggest you buy stripy cushion kit! Get the harness, goes well with other plastic 'linkies' for eating out.

excellent chair but save your money and get the tchibo highchair, its practically identical and only costs

Really good, I've used ours for 8 years with all three of my children and will use it again with number four. As it sits at the table, there's no problem with storing it, and by using the cushion pads provided for the first few months it seems really comfortable. Older children look really comfortable as they can reach properly and rest their feet properly.

I love this chair, so does my son but I wish they would make cushions with wipe clean covers. The covers are machine washable but you have to dismantle the chair to get the seat cover off. That's quite an effort, consequently mine stays dirty.

I love this highchair although didn't get it until my little boy was about 11 months. initially had a more conventional highchair but he hated it and would rock and try to climb out but is happy to sit in this. Looks great and I think is well worth the money.

our tripp trapp has seen us through two children and is far superior to the tchibo one i bought (once financial restrictions set in!)

"Groovy", "practical", "sleek" it "encourages good posture" and "is as stylish a piece of furniture as you could wish for in baby equipment". "Easy to assemble" and "completely adjustable - it should last to adulthood". Some claimed adjusting was fiddly but "you don't have to do it very often". It doesn't recline so "not great for small babies" and "as there's no tray, a wipe-clean table cover is a good investment" but "the child is fully involved in meal times". "Doesn't fold away but you wouldn't want it to, it looks too good!" "Pricey but definitely worth it".

Looks good and it's nice to have baby eating at the table early on (I think). Better get a mat for spills, though.

You would hardly know it was there, fits in so well with the other furniture. Good for poisture and lasts forever.

Doesn't look like a highchair - will fit in with minimalist decor and not take up too much space. Very good for keeping baby upright and good value as it lasts a long time.

Really quite impressed with this high chair,comes in loads of colours to match most colour schemes, and can last a child into their teens.
Only one problem its not the most portable of chairs to take out! best to get another smaller fold up high chair to keep at grannies. GReat for posture and most children want to sit on it when they visit so be prepared for a few battles when friends visit.

Looks lovely,and will grow with baby. It will always be his chair. Not so great for little ones who can't hold themselves up for long, I prop him up with towels. Lack of tray not a problem as can be pushed right up to the table, so joins in. This also stops so much mess on the floor.

This high chair is comparatively expensive, but it looks the part, is very stable, and my daughter loves it. She seems to be very comfortable in it. It is a bit cumbersome to adjust when the child grows, but that way it is very safe. The only drawback is that there is no tray attached for food and drinks.

nice smooth lines and very comfy - my son traps his legs between the back and the seat now as he's trying to twist round. Not so bad with the material cover on it though. He can also push himself over in it by pushing his feet against the table.

I'm thinking of using one myself as an office chair.

sturdy and solid and easy to keep clean. expect this highchair to last for ever.

It's a bit pricey but definitely worth it. Doesn't fold conveniently away but you wouldn't want it to, it looks too good! Sitting right up to the table, Chloe can participate fully in mealtimes...even if it means she can grab whatever we're eating too.

We love this chair, however the way its put together means it is a bit of a faff to clean!! Children can join in at the table straightaway and our four year old still loves hers - now in grown up mode!!

perfect for longevity from first 6 months to teenage hood. only downside that no tray was available when we bought ours, but this might have changed now.

great for babies and toddlers, my 5 year old loves it!! It is awkward to get in and out of for the babies though, and a nightmare to put together with the baby set!! I have a traditional high chair as well for the baby, as it is useful to have a tray when she is playing. Does take up space, you need a big kitchen!!

Doesn't look or feel like baby equipment so much so makes the dining room feel a bit more grown up, which is nice.

If you have a dining table with a bar supporting the table top beware-there is no tray on the chair, so you have to pull the high chair right up to the table, which is a problem for little legs if there is a bar in the way!

The only one really, it looks fab, grows with your child - no need for cushions (horrid to clean), easy to clean, looks good in the kitchen and is good for their backs. what more coudl you hope for - shame it is a bit pricey.

Excellent chair - will last forever as can adapt to the size of child - ok for adults too. As no table for chair, it pushes right to dining table and baby feels more part of family whilst eating.

Fantastic piece of equipment, especially for a slightly older baby. The only down side is the lack of attachable tray, so that the baby has to eat straight from the table. This is a good thing, apart from with smaller babies who may not be so adept at reaching that bit further. Also means a lot of 'debris' ends up on lap, seat, foot rest and floor, so plenty of cleaning. Great value for money, although initially expensive as it lasts well into childhood, and can be used as a normal chair in later years. Wouldn't swap mine for the world! Easy to adjust, as long as you don't lose the Allen key (!), and lots of different settings available depending on size/length of baby. Our son seems happy to spend hours in it doing other activities, and also uses it as a mini step ladder so that he can wash his hands before he eats/help me cook or wash up etc. which is lovely. It's much sturdier than a box or step, and literally cannot fall over. Slips under the table in the same way as a chair. Really can't praise it enough!

3 years down the line and our trip trap is still going strong. Dd loves to do her art and craft activities sitting in it, she uses it as a 'coach' for her dolls and occasionally even eats her meals sat in it. The trip still looks great - fits beautifully into our kitchen/dining room, and is so easy to keep clean. I didn't really believe the blurb when I bought it but it really has grown with her. It's even helped her learn to spot her name - I embroidered it on the seat cover. The only problem is I don't think she's going to be willing to give up when her new baby brother wants it.
If you want a stylish, practical high chair that lasts - this is the one for you!

Takes a bit of time to adjust as you have to take it apart with an allen key, but it's not complicated to do. Comfortable for baby, and I love the fact that they are at the table with you, although once he was able my son tried to climb out onto the table all the time and at this time I did miss a tray (daughter never did this though, so it depends on the child). With that in mind, my son went through a strange period of refusing to stay in it as a baby chair, but he was too young to remove the baby bar (so we borrowed another highchair for a couple of months from my mum as he drove me mad at mealtimes). Looks gorgeous and is a piece of furniture for ever - I sit on it all the time now it's not a 'baby chair'(we have two). Cost is reasonable really when you think about it per use over and that it adapts with your child. Plus, it's gorgeous wood. Storage isn't really an issue, as it's just always at the table. Although we have quite a small kitchen/diner and sometimes I bang my feed on the base, so it does need a fair bit of floor space, but then most highchairs do anyway. Worked really well for my daughter but not so great for my son, so I'm divided in opinion!

Gives excellent support to baby/toddler who sit up straight and are therefore comfortable. Fabric seat covers downside!

It looks good and tucks neatly under the dining table

We have two of these - one at Granny and Grandpa's house. Our daughter loves sitting up to the table and being part of the meal. Easy to clean, looks great, great longevity but a bit fiddly to alter. Aged 19 months she does need a harness as has been known to stand up in it!

This highchair is fantastic for involving your baby in family mealtimes. The lack of a tray means that your baby is sat at the table with you and the ergonomical design means that he learns to sit up correctly in a chair. The downsides are that the seat positions are a bit of a pain to adjust; the cushions are not wipeclean and with the baby bar in place the seat needs to be taken apart to get them off for washing - then you have to refit the chair to your baby all over again. It is more expensive than other highchairs, but you can get a good deal if you shop around. A little bit of hassle, but I highly recommend it. NB as there is no tray, I also recommend a wipeclean table cloth!

Will last them forever - well, while they are still at home anyway. Doesn't look crap and is easy to clean, which in the end, can't be said for any of the others.

If you want a nice looking piece of furniture that will last for years and grow with your child, rather than a traditional highchair, this one is for you. It enables your baby or child to sit at the table with the rest of the family in comfort thus helping them to socialise. You need to think of it as an extra chair; it doesn't fold away so it's not good for tight spaces. It may also seem expensive initially - but not if you think of how long it will last. Available in all kinds of funky colours and finishes, this is a design classic.

Highly recommended. Somewhat expensive but lasts for years and really grows with the child. This chair makes them part of the family much more than a highchair with a tray. Easy to clean and easy on the eye.

This is a good looking chair and in theory takes you through from baby that can sit unsupported to teenage years. However it does need to be taken apart each time you need to move anything - it is not easy to clean and I very much doubt that any child would want to be sitting on such a small seat into their teenage years. It does have one big advantage in that it can be placed right up to the dining table and so your child is much more part of the family during mealtimes.

Fits in with modern home, and is great for having baby at the table at same timme as you. Will lat a long time as grows with baby

I can't really fault this high-chair apart from it being a bit pricey, but well worth the spend. I love the way my choldren have been able to join us at the table for meals. It's easy to adjust as they grow and will last right through until they're big enough to use a normal chair. (And if you're short a chair, it takes adults too with a little height adjustment). Fantastic. Highly recommended.

I love the way this chair looks but I think the baby sets could be more padded. My baby is quite active in the chair and constantly bumps her head on the wooden sides. She also manages to move it across the wooden floor by rocking back and forth.

This is a relatively expensive high chair but it looks good. The best feature for me is that it doesnt have a tray so it can be pulled up to the table which makes it far more sociable for eating together as a family which is important to me. The chair is suitable for babies once they can sit unsupported - but is very adjustable as your child grows and we have been using ours for 18 months now and have found it to be a great every day chair which is fairly easy to clean. Although it is a bit of a bind to have to take it apart to get the bottom cushion in and out for cleaning.

Our children love them, and they do look nice, but take up a lot of room. As a child seat they are great but the baby part wasn't such a success. The baby part is really fiddly to put on, if you have an unwilling baby it is nearly impossible to get them in and out. Also you will need a harness, I don't know how, but babies can climb out, and stand swaying on the seat....not the best situation!! Overall though I do like the long lerm usage, and the looks, though I use a mamas and papas one more for day to day!

Buy the Tchibo version instead - its exactly the same for a fraction of the price!

Great product attaches to most chairs. Sometimes need a yellow pages! Even managed to attach it to a bench on a picnic table. Folds flat. Also good to use when friends come round for lunch.

Absolutely the best buy for our daughter. Love that she can sit at the table without having a tray in the way. She is comfortable and the chair is really sturdy and looks great, coming in a range of finishes. It's also very easy to keep clean with minimal nooks and crannies for dropped food to lurk in.
The only downside was that when the baby harness attachment was installed she reached a point where getting her in and out was rather a tricky manoeuvre. But that prompted us to remove the bar at the front and she's been fine ever since.

Versatile, virtually indestructable, attractive to look at, will grow with your child and you will not be embarrassed to have at your table!

Excellent chair grows well with child, allows them to join in mealtimes still going strong after 4 years of hard use

This highchair looks good and the lack of a tray is a plus, in my view. Our son has joined in on family meals from day one. The leather strap on the baby attachment 'aged' pretty quickly but overall it's easy to clean and very durable. I'm sceptical about the claims that the chair lasts through childhood, as our three year old won't go near it any more - like anything else he associates with his babyhood!

looks good in the kitchen, doesn't take up lots of space as can be pushed under the table, your baby can join you at the table, great value for money as adjusts to a chair for toddlers and adults.

A superb chair, not the cheapest but very practical, ideal if you have got a small kitchen or diner as it tucks right under the table like a normal dining chair. Also ideal if you have limited number of dining chairs as using this will always mean you have a spare dining chair for visitors. So good I have bought both my boys one and intend to use them for many years. Enables my little boy to sit correctly at the table, once he outgrew a highchair and stops the 'sitting on his knees' scenario which can happen with smaller children.

Looks stylish and modern, and is more sleek and sophisticated than the nasty plastic chairs that abound on the market. Because the chair is a simple design, with mimimal corners and sections, it makes cleaning it a doddle. Can be used up to adulthood, so is worth the extra money. Our baby sits with us at mealtimes making it more enjoyable for him and for us. He also has support for his feet makin git more comfortable for him. It would be nice to have a detachable tray as an option. Also the padding is pretty but I cover it with tea towels at mealtimes as I know it would be difficult to remove food stains, eg tomato sauce, spinach, from it.

I love this highchair as it just fits in at the table and my son is part of every family mealtime. It looks really good too and when stored at the table, doesn't take up any more room than a normal adult chair. Everyone comments on it as it looks so good too.

Good looking highchair, very easy to keep clean. The best thing about it is that the baby/child can sit at the table with the family. It also lasts for years as it adapts as the child grows.

Superb quality with no nasty nooks and crannies to collect dropped crumbs in. Good value as suitable for years and years

This is a very stylish looking highchair, it's available in several different finishes, so will go with your wooden dining table set beautifully.
The biggest advantage is that the chair cannot be tipped over by a toddler (much as my friends child tried). The chair though can be easily monoevered over a carpetted floor, so my 18 month old is now using our stokke as a baby ladder, she slides it over to the window to climb onto the window frame, this has undoubtedly added to my white hairs.
The biggest drawback is the chair is expensive, and you have to buy additional bits for it; like the baby set (which a lot of people consider unnecessary), and a little padded seat and backcover seperately. I bought the whole lot, but the padded seat cover, is very fiddly to put on and take off, and it does need to be washed fairly often, as the seat is being used for a toddler.
Theoretically the chair can be used well into adulthood, I can see ours will be in the family at least till the last child has grown up. We'll obviously have to decorate the dining room according to the finish of the stokke though (it's redwood incase you were wondering). On the upside, the chair does seem to have a very good resale value, so one doesn't lose that much by buying all the little bits.
On the whole, the chair encourages good posture (according to the blurb on the stokke website), and encourages good muscular developement (according to my observations of dd2, who has been pushing her chair around the dining room for the last 9 months). A good buy if you have a spacious dining room/kitchen as the chair does not fold down.

It looks great, my baby loves it. Good buy

It is fantastic i wish i'd discovered it earlier. we got one just before my daughters 2nd birthday and it is great. she sits at the table with us and enjoys it. the highchair just wipes clean - so easy!! i had an all singing reclining highchair before and it was alful to clean and it takes up so much room even though it partually folds. this chair just fits under the table instead of a regular chair. i'm now looking to purchase another for my 4 month old as i wouldn't dream of giving my eldest daughters chair to the baby. Although it appears expensive you will not regret buying it, it is without doubt the best baby item i've bought!!!!

I bought on of these for each of my kids because they are a chair for life, so in my opinion, well worth the money. We have always used them pretty much like any dining chiar - they allow the hcild to sit right at the dining table and eat with you - very sociable. As the child grows you just move the seat and foot rest down a notch, so it is alwys optimally comfortable for your child and supporting of the back. In fact they are so comfortable I often use my daughter's chair myself when she is not around.They are fairly easy to clean - not too many nooks and crannies. When not in use we just leave them at the dining table with our other chairs - they are beautifully designed.

EXCELLENT. Make sure your supplier has the cushion in stock as I have been waiting 5 weeks for the cushion fro twoleftfeet, still waiting really bad service from them. Would never use again.

loved that fact that it "grows with the child"!

Looks absolutely fantastic - it is great to have little one sat at the table with the 'grown-ups'!! fiddly to adjust but well worth it. Just get one!!

Gorgeous funky design and really top class quality. Baby gets to eat with the family at the table and when they grow the high chair becomes a child's seat and is even great for adults. Only downside is that since there is no tray my lo is able to slide the seat back by pushing at the table - little minx!

It is the best looking high chair on the market and it is great to get the children involved in meal times from day one without the barrier of a tray. Adjustability got a lower score because you have to remeber to keep the allen key handy and it's not something that can be done in two seconds.

she told me to get one and i did!

I didn't want to spend money on another piece of garish plastic that would end up in the loft once my baby outgrew it, so the Tripp Trapp was a natural choice. Great range of colours, baby kit makes it suitable from 6 months, and my two-year-old now sees it as 'her' chair and loves using it not just at mealtimes but for sitting up at the table to scribble/paint/playdough. I have never found it a problem that the Tripp Trapp has no tray - in fact I think it helps your baby to feel part of mealtimes to be sitting at the table with everyone else, hence it is probably better for teaching good table manners too. Will definitely be buying another one for my next baby (and possibly one each for my husband and I too!)

My children love it!!! I love the design and the adjustability is easy...it is the only chair that the seat depth and height are adjustable perfectly!

looks great, easy to clean, but make sure that the table you sit him at is the right height for the chair and that there isn't a convenient ledge for him to use to keep pushing with his legs to try to trip the chair over!

It's fab as the baby eats with you..forever. So there is no transition to a 'adults' chair. Watch out for their little hands and legs as you push them in to the table!!!

Best looking of all the highchairs we looked at, which was important considering how long it would be around. Also nice to have your baby/toddler at the table with you. And easy to clean, stable and tough. Very pleased we spent the extra money

I don't like things being bought for a short period only. This high chair will be with us forever. I'll use it when the kids have outgrown it. If you take it apart it'll even go in a car for a holiday though it's a bit of a faff to do for a stay of less than a week. Wipes down easily and looks as good as it did 3 years ago with constant usage. Doesn't look babyish so no probs with a small child using it or even as a desk chair for a teenager or adult.

Looks great, saves on space because it's much neater than most highchairs.

Can be difficult to get child in & out of it - we always have to take off our son's shoes!

Our son managed to kick himself backwards in the chair and both he and the chair landed in a potted plant behind him. This was a major worry for a couple of months as he just kicked against the table and it would lean back.

expensive but a great buy as it can be used from birth to adulthood! looks great and will tuck away under the table like a regular chair instead of being stuck out in the room.

Easy to clean, no hidden crevices like most high chairs; nice for baby to sit at the table with other children and grown-ups; encourages good posture; can continue to use it as your child grows - mine are 4 and 6 and still use theirs. They spend many hours at the table writing and drawing and I'm sure part of the reason they are happy to do so is because it's comfortable for them to be there.

It takes up very little room, the baby/child is sitting at the table along with the rest of the family - there's no tray to get in the way, so they feel involved in whats going on. We've had ours now for 2 1/2 years and its still going strong whereas friends who have a more traditional highchair are a bit stuck as to what to do with them now.

Super quality highchair that will last for many years as your child grows. Available in many colours and made from quality wood

It's comfortable and holds safely and firmly, preventing my little boy from sqirming around too much during meal times! I find harness essential but cussions were an unnecessary buy: it's easier to clean up after meal times without them. Was worried about the cost - but now feel it was worth every penny.

Great highchair. My daghter feels like one of the family when she sits at the table as she is able to sit close to the table unlike conventinal highchairs with table. Washable seat covers are also a bonus. 100% happy with this chair and I would recommend it to to other mothers

This is a good highchair, it costs little more than others but is an investement as it will last for yers. I like the idea that baby sits at table with you, rather then having own table. The only down side is that as we have a wooden table we can't use toys or bowels with suction pads on it, but I over coe this by using a non slip pad on the table.

I love this chair and so does Asher. He can sit comfortabley right up to the table and eat with us. It looks great and can be adjusted to grow with him.

Its a great value for money because it will last long beyond their need for a high chair and will continue to encourage a good posture. It also works well with the philosophy that the baby has a place at the table and is able to eat with the family which helps to bring everyone together and to teach the baby good eating etiquette and the importance of familt time over a meal.It is fiddly to dismantle and clean but you wont need the baby pack forever.

Great looking chair that fits in with the rest of the furniture and will last for years. Loads of opportunity to change the set up for fit. The fact that there is no tray means we can pull it right up to the table which suits us but might not be everyones cup of tea.

I have just bought this as a second highchair for my 18 month old daughter. She was having real issues with her other (more traditional) highchair, not wanting to sit in it, etc. I thought it was because she wasn't at the actual dinner table (because of the tray) so we bought the Tripp Trapp so that it could go right up to the table. However, our table has quite low slats on the side so she is at the table now but not as close in as I would want her to be.
I think the chair looks great, and although it doesn't fold up/store like other highchairs it is quite compact and not at all obtrusive in our small dining room.
We bought the baby set to go with it as this gives better support for the back and is also the only thing that keeps her strapped in, otherwise she would spend her time standing up in it! However, I think this is only up to the age of 18 months as it is a bit tight and very difficult to get her legs in and out.
Overall, I rate the chair highly, particularly for a toddler upwards age group.

My six year old is still using her Tripp Trapp and will do so for years to come I expect. It is adjustable for all ages and will easily take the weight of an adult too. We liked it so much that we now have a second Tripp Trapp for our younger daughter. They look great and come in lots of different colours.

As long as you buy or make a padded cushion for the baby bit - this is the best, most sturdy highchair I have seen and used.

stylish - flexible - it lasts forever (ours has done 4 kids from 5 months to 5 years)- but the best thing is that your child eats with you and the family at the table.

Great looking chair that brings dd right to the table. It adjusts perfectly to her size. She sits up straight and seems happy.

I really notice the difference when eating out at restaurants and I use the restaurants chair, usually a big puffy vinyl thing with a tray. DD slouches, cries, and looks a mile away from where the rest of us are sitting.

It is brilliant! Really easy to keep clean, doesn't take up much space (fits under the table), means that family meals are just that and isn't an eyesore!

I think it is only suitable for older babies. I think it has faults - the cotton cover needs washing every 2 seconds, the babysit bar is fixed so getting little one in and out is difficult and they up with bruised legs. Not having a tray is a bad idea as your table gets filthy and damaged, so if it's wood, not a good idea and you'll need to invest in a plastic tablecloth. Baby can soon learn to stand up in chair and clamber onto the table which is not great and then to use straps is a pain and they will kick up a fuss. Chair would be much improved if it had a tray that could be used in the early days and the baby bar opened up to allow your child to get in and out more easily.

Great looking
Good posture
At table with family
Lasts a lifetime

We love this chair though we have had a couple of problems. We bought the babyset so our son could use it from 6 months but, as he is big for his age, by 8 months we had to remove the leather crotch piece because it was cutting him in half! We then had to fix a harness to the chair to stop him from sliding out. Even with a harness (not apparently available from Stokke so you have to make do with a standard safety harness) he still occasionally slides down the seat and gets wedged between the curved baby bar and the seat - means you have to keep a careful eye on him. Perhaps not best for big babies who are not yet able to sit without the safety bar in front.

Expensive but gorgeous!

I really like this highchair. It does not have a tray at the front which means you can bring the chair right up to the table for family meals. It is designed to be used from baby to adulthood so although there is an initial outlay which is more expensive than a usual highchair it is actually the only chair you are going to buy. The only downside is that you have to dismantle the chair a bit to get to the cushions on the babyset for washing so I think velcro would have been a good idea! Nevertheless I think this chair is almost perfect.

Wanted a chair with no tray so ds can sit at the dinner table with us rather than being set back. It'll grow with him so he should always be able to sit comfortably at the table.
It's a piece of furniture really and will grow to fit an adult so storage seems irrelevant. Having said that, it did arrive in a surprisingly small box so if we ever did decide to take it apart, it shouldn't be too hard to store.
There's various wood finishes and seat covers so you should be able to find one that complements your other dining furniture.
I can easily carry it between rooms with 7 month old installed or with one hand, 7 month old in the other hand !
Chose a rather groovy stripey cover but was concerned that it was only sponge clean. However, after a month of small child smearing various things all over it, it still looks as good as new. Even stuff that's been allowed to dry overnight just wipes off. The wood's easy to clean too.
Value for money - well, it's rather expensive, especially as you have to buy the baby set and seat covers separately. However, think of it as a chair rather than just a high chair - it'll last from babyhood through childhood and on to adulthood, a lifetime in other words.

Fab as encourages child to sit staight. Excellent as sit as table from start (although you can buy a tray on e-bay if that way inclined ) Is pricey but easy to clean as no horrible plastic seams for gunk to lurk in ! Also will last a lifetime. Cons are it does take up space but we just moved a dining chair to our loft and leave at the table permanently.

This funky chair really does grow with your child. From 9 months your child can sit comfortably in it and at 14 my son loves his brothers!
Sadly for a style conscious Mum like me - the Tripp Trapp's main attraction is that you are not ashamed to own one and their simple clean cut lines mean that unlike other high - chairs they do not prove to be a health risk!

So nice to have the baby/toddler at the table with you rather than have a tray get in the way. Looks nice rather than a great big plastic thing and also lasts for a long time.

Recently had a load of friends over for dinner and I ran out of chairs, was able to use the TT for me to sit on and was actually very comfortable!

This is a really good-looking and comfortable piece of furniture, it sits at the table alongside our other chairs and it allows the child to join in properly at mealtimes, eating at the table rather than sitting in an isolated 'pod'. It's expensive but is still in daily use 3.5 years along and I'm sure it will be used until my son is at least 7 or 8. He happily uses it for sitting at the table to draw, paint, glue etc. and sees it as 'his chair' rather than a high chair. The stripey cushions are lovely for little ones but we haven't used ours for ages.

Really, really glad we got this chair. Returned a different chair for reasons of safety and then bought this one. Baby can't rock it whilst sitting in it. It's good and solid. Baby (who is at the climbing and pulling stage) can't pull it over on herself even by bouncing up and down whilst clinging onto the back. It slides right up under the table so she eats with us (though you have to watch what it in reach!). It's sleek and compact and you can adjust this to fit baby perfectly as she grows. Even husband agrees that the cost was worth it (and we are not rich people!).

Great high chair that will not wobble or break. Will also not move when you trip over it.

A great chair, we have two! Not as practical as a baby chair as some, as the baby set when fitted is fixed and can make it difficult to get little ones in and out, lots of shoes get knocked off! Comes into its own as they grow up, ours is used for homework, playing piano and painting. Great looks, a change from brightly coloured plastic, and wears well. Only downside is it doesn't fold, and takes up a lot of room, so you need a fairly big kitchen.

Expensive but will last a long time. I used to hate the look of this highchair but now have 2 and love them! No cracks and crevices to clean. It's the easiest to keep looking new of all the highchairs my 4 children have used. Probably not the most comfortable but the instructions do say not to use as a babysitting device only to eat in! Good advice...

Looks great, lets baby eat at the table with the rest of the family. Quite expensive but should be worth it as can be used for a good few years.

Great for a baby over six months, but a little fiddly to adjust (takes me over five minutes to put it back together when I have adjusted it and I keep losing all the little bits!) Thought ours was great until our 11 month old managed to put his feet against the edge of the table and push it over backwards, hitting his head badly in the process. The altenative of sitting him further away from the table is not a great option as there is no tray.

look good and fit in a modern or traditional setting
easy clean unlike more plush models
not AS suitable from six months as the plastic chairs but lasts far longer at the older end
get one- i dont know anyone who has regretted it

Looks good, everyone in the family can use it and it will last forever!

it looks great..it looks like a normal chair which an adult would sit on!
baby is included in meal times and enjoys eating at the table with the adults.

a bit of a pain to cleaan and the cushions aren't really needed so are a waste of money, especially since you have to take apart the entire chair to get the seat cushion off!

love the chair it's strong, built to last and looks great..i wouldn't bother with the cushions again though!

Easily pushes under the table so stores well. Baby is fully involved in mealtimes and the chair can also be used ofr other table top activities. Great positioning of baby, even from a young age. Can be a bit fiddly to adjust.

Expensive, but definitely worth it! My nearly 7month old son loves sitting at the table. It also helped him to strengthen his back muscles and aided in unsupported sitting on the floor. Great purchase.

It looks fabulous and baby loves sitting in it. Great value for money as will last for years.

Looks good with our table & chairs and baby is always at the right height for feeding. Can get tricky as baby gets older as he pushes away from the table with his feet! Not for families that need a fold away option - this is a serious piece of furniture!!
Very easy to clean, but extras such as seat pads/harness can be pricey. Great for older babies, but not perfect for first few months of feeding. We bought as an investment to carry our son through quite a few years of mealtimes..

Looks great, fits very nicely with other furniture at the table. Comfortable for the little one, will last a long time as it can be adjusted right up to adulthood. No table, but that's the only thing I can think of that might put someone off. Not found it a problem personally.

Looks good, easy to store will last for years - BUT not AT ALL suitable for babies. I have been trying to get my 6 month old used to it and it is too upright and hard for him to get comfy. It's also a right pain to get him in and out. We have had to buy another modern plastic high chair for the next few months. The Trip Trap will return when he is a little older, thankfully it will last him many years so it isn't money wasted. Just don't get it as a first high chair!

good for being fully involved with mealtimes but don't bother with the cushions - they are only aesthetic!

Fabulous high chair which grows with your child. Easy to clean and allows your baby/child to be part of mealtimes. Much more stylish than hideous plastic ones. Only downside is that it is not great for small babies, not enough support.

it's simply the best high chair: your children are eating straight from the family dinner table like you, it is totally adjustable, fantastic for their posture, lasts all their lives and looks great.

what more could you want?

Yes I would. Absolutely brilliant product

We bought a Tripp Trapp for our daughter when she was around 20 months as we thought it might encourage her to eat better if she sat up to the table with us. It was relatively expensive but it certainly seems to have helped on this front and will hopefully last for years (a friend's 12 year old is still using his, although now as a computer chair). It also looks good and, although it doesn't fold down, it tucks well away under the table when not in use. Our main concerns are in respect of safety: the foot board encourages our daughter to try and climb up onto and down from the chair herself and she has twice nearly fallen. This was a particular problem when she was smaller and (in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions of ensuring the child sits with a 90 degree angle behind its knees) the footboard was still high off from the floor. The answer of course is to buy a form of restraint at extra cost. I also have some concerns about our daughter's ability to lever herself away from the table. On our parquet flooring, the chair simply slides back from the table, but on the terrasse (flagstones) it starts to tip backwards. I'm no physicist and I'm not sure whether it actually would flip over backwards, but it's enough to make my heart leap to my throat!
