2020 Stokke Tripp Trapp | High Chair Review

   The Stokke Tripp Trapp has always been a popular high chair with us at Magic Beans, and for very good reason! Besides being a classy looking piece of furniture that will match your home decor, it also provides many innovative benefits that your traditional high chair simply doesn’t. Unlike most of the high chairs available on the market, the Tripp Trapp brings your baby to the table instead of bringing the meal to your baby. Since Magic Beans is currently offering the Tripp Trapp for $30 off, now would be a great time to show you why you should consider it for your family!

   Suitable from birth with the addition of the Stokke Tripp Trapp Newborn Set, the Tripp Trapp allows you include your baby at meal time before they are transitioning to solid foods. You no longer have to put your child in a bouncer on the floor where they will breathe in dust or be bothered by the family dog during dinner time. Keeping your little one closer means more bonding time with them whether you’re making dinner, eating, or just spending time with the family. The Newborn Set even comes with a nifty toy hanger so your baby can keep themselves entertained with their favorite toy during meal time! Once your baby is sitting up on their own, just remove the lounger and clip on the Baby Set that comes with the high chair and it’s ready to go!

   One of the main features that sets the Stokke Tripp Trapp apart from other high chairs is its adjustability. It was designed to be fully adjustable for your child’s height to provide much needed support for dangling feet, as well as an appropriate seat depth. While these may seem like purely comfort upgrades, these adjustments have much more important implications for your child’s health and development as you transition them to solid foods. 

   Three seat depth options allow your child to use the curved backrest at any age, which supports proper spinal development as they grow. The five footrest heights provide continual support for dangling legs, preventing loss of circulation and decreasing restlessness. In turn your little one is able to stop fidgeting to try to get comfortable and focus on eating. According to occupational therapists and the CDC, when children are properly seated and focused on eating, they are less likely to choke on their food. Through comfort and ergonomics, the Stokke Tripp Trapp helps your child develop safe and healthy eating habits from an early age. 

   Although there is a removable dishwasher safe Stokke Tripp Trapp tray, it is sold separately from the high chair because the chair was designed and intended for use pushed up to the table. Having your baby join you at the dinner table makes it easier for you to interact with them, keeping them focused on what they’re doing and keeping them from feeling isolated from the family meal. Observing the family eat helps the baby learn table etiquette and how to interact with food, encouraging good eating habits and preventing pickiness. However, when sitting at the table is not an option the high chair tray offers a secure surface for meals. Stokke has partnered with EZPZ to create the EZPZ placemat for Stokke Tripp Trapp, a suction mat specifically for the Tripp Trapp tray.

   Many high chairs are intended for short term use and will end up either being donated or disposed of on the curbside within just a few short years, but the Stokke Tripp Trapp is a high quality wooden high chair that will last a lifetime. After its time as a high chair is up, you can use it in the children’s playroom or at a desk when they do their homework. The chair holds up to 242 pounds, so feel free to use it as long as you want!

   There are hundreds of possible color combinations you can make with a Stokke Tripp Trapp, so you will be able to customize yours to match your dining room decor. The high chair comes in natural beech wood or painted colors as well as oakwashed colors that give you a more textured look. Stokke Tripp Trapp cushions are also available (but not necessary) in different prints and colors for added comfort and style.
