Few baby products have achieved icon status quite like the Stokke® Tripp Trapp®. Originally designed in Norway in 1972, this award-winning high chair has become a favourite among families worldwide thanks to its timeless design and ability to grow with a child from infancy through to adulthood. With adjustable seating and footrest positions, the Tripp Trapp® is designed to bring babies and children right up to the family table, encouraging connection and participation from the very beginning.

Real customer reviews
“We've now been using the Tripp Trapp over a year. It's still great. Easily cleanable. It has grown with our child. It's so easy to adjust; just loosen the screws, move the seat or footrest and retighten. Takes about 1 minute to do. Our eldest child is almost 3yrs and she has not been successful with tipping it over (not for lack of trying). She can easily climb into the chair, put the belts on and clip it by herself.” - Liza
“We love our Stokke chairs. We had them in two houses we rented while on vacation and decided to splurge and buy them for our 2 year old and 4 year old. The quality is great, very easy to clean, and easy to adjust. Putting them together was a snap and the kids love them.” - Kate
"We really love the chair, it has been an absolute life saver for our baby. We have purchased the newborn set and it’s perfect for bub to sit in while we are busy in the kitchen or even watching tv. It’s a good height, and means she doesn’t need to be on the floor all the time. When we’re eating she is at the same height as the dining table. It’s designed to grow with children which I love the most. I can see us getting years and years of use out of it. Easy to put together and clean." - Jena Marie Nieves

Real customer reviews:
"This has been a terrific buy - I highly recommend it. With most other convertible high chairs the minimum age is 6 months. We have really been able to use this from birth and our daughter has been able to be a part of our meal time. It is easily adjusts to her development - from reclining back to sitting up with a comfort nest and then a regular chair. It is a little cumbersome to put together but just have some patience. This is a great product!" - KAMI, 12 October 2016
"By far this is one of the best products I purchased for my baby. The way this high chair cradles you are able to use it from newborn to toddler. All the positions this high chair offers makes it so easy to be able to go about your day as if someone is holding your baby right next to you. You can also adjust the height so he can be right next to you at kitchen counter level as I was able to cook & prepare meals, clean and take care of things around the house as he played or slept on the cradle position. Especially when they're so little that they can't hold their head yet this chair with the infant snug insert made it possible to go about your day." - Pupetta, 4 February 2015
