Stokke Tripp Trapp

On Twitter there is a loyal following for anything and everything Stokke.  I’ve been out of the Stokke loop until recently.  You see, we are now the proud recipient of a lovely Stokke Tripp Trapp- Trend Collection Yellow, courtesy of Sian To at as Clear as PR and Little Miss is smitten!

• STRENGTHS:  The Stokke Tripp Trapp is specially designed for proper ergonomics for your child.  In other words, they sit up properly and are supported correctly to eat and interact at the dining table.  All safety precautions are taken for every age child.  The Stokke Tripp Trapp can be used from 6 months to teenage (and even adult) years.  You can purchase the Stokke Tripp Trapp Baby Set for children age 6-18 months.  This gives a little more security for your baby.  The design of the Stokke Tripp Trapp is timeless.  It will fit into any home no matter your decor.  As there are no nooks or crannies that food can get trapped in, the Stokke Tripp Trapp is a doddle to clean which is crucial for time-crunched parents.  The Stokke Tripp Trapp comes flat-packed but I managed to assemble it in about 20 minutes.  The picture instructions are more than adequate and assembly is very straightforward.
• WEAKNESSES:  The only weakness, potentially for some families, is the price.  The Stokke Tripp Trapp is an investment piece but as it should be the only high chair your child will ever need (into adulthood mind you), it’s a price worth paying.  Accessories are separate purchases.
• OPINION:  I am so pleased with the Stokke Tripp Trapp!  I wish we had had it from Little Miss’ 6 month birthday.  She sits up brilliantly and is so happy and comfortable in her Tripp Trapp; she even asks to sit in it when it’s not meal time.  The design and construction of the Stokke Tripp Trapp is superior and I look forward to having it in our house for years and years to come.  We have the Yellow Stokke Tripp Trapp but you can choose a myriad of colours which makes the Stokke Tripp Trapp a very personal piece.  My sister-in-law had a Stokke Tripp Trapp for her youngest son and it stood up to his rough and tumble attitude famously.
• TECHNICAL STUFF:  The Stokke Tripp Trapp RRP = £130; Baby Set RRP = £40.  You can purchase a harness and cushion (£40)  as well.  You can get stunning custom cushions from the ever-so-clever Natalie at www.sophie4sophie.com.  You can get Tripp Trapp’s from various sites for as low as £99 so do shop around.
• RATING: 5+ out of 5
