Preparing for a baby who's about to start solids is an exciting time! My baby just turned 5 months old, and I decided it was time to get the high chair set up and ready. There is a whole list of items to buy - some essential, some not so much; however, a good-quality high chair is a must. I'll do a separate post on starting solids and useful products. 



This post is about the high chair. Mine is the Tripp Trapp High Chair from Stokke.

The Stokke Tripp Trapp is a highly popular and innovative high chair designed to grow with your child from infancy through adulthood. Created by the Norwegian company Stokke, the Tripp Trapp is renowned for its ergonomic design, sleek aesthetic, and versatility.



I originally had the same one in yellow; however, I had to send it back because the frame wasn't level, and the chair was wobbly. I thought about exchanging it for the same exact item, but ultimately decided to pay extra for an oak chair. 

Stokke's Tripp Trapp is available in 2 types of wood - beech and oak. The beech wood Tripp Trapp is the more common variety and is offered in more colors. The yellow Tripp Trapp I used to have was made of beech.

The beech chair also has a smoother surface, so if you're looking for a colorful chair with a smooth texture, the beech Tripp Trapp is the one for you. 



The oak Tripp Trapp, on the other hand, is slightly more expensive than the beech one, but it is sturdier. The visible grains make the chair look more high-end, in my opinion. 



It is available in 3 colors - brown, black, and natural. Each color highlights the natural texture of the oak wood, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these colors. 



I got the Tripp Trapp in oak black. One of the biggest pros of the Tripp Trapp is that you can purchase various accessories to suit the different life stages of your baby.

It is designed for a newborn to an adult.

I got the Tripp Trapp High Chair with a Baby Set and a removable harness. This combination is recommended for 6 months-olds who are starting solids. 



The components are simple, but the chair requires light installation. 



It's all set up and is ready, except for the seat cushion. 



If you're using attachments such as the Newborn Set or the Baby Set, you must add the gliders to prevent any tipping accidents. 



This high chair seamlessly integrates into everyone's lifestyle, and it will become a cherished centerpiece of family gatherings and shared meals.



Adjustable in both seat and footrest height, the Tripp Trapp ensures optimal ergonomic support and promotes healthy posture at every stage of your child's development. 



Can you see the beautiful wood grains on the oak chair? And the richly saturated color is so chic and sophisticated! 



You can use the high chair as it is, but if you want to provide some comfort and cushion, you can attach the seat cushion. 



Stokke's Classic Cushion is available in several fabric finishes. I got 2 so that I'll have a backup even on a laundry day. 



Crafted from high-quality materials and featuring plush padding, the Classic Cushion provides an extra layer of comfort and support for your child during meal times and beyond. Its ergonomic design complements the contours of the Tripp Trapp high chair, ensuring a snug and secure fit that enhances your child's seating experience without compromising on style.



Available in a range of timeless colors and patterns, the Classic Cushion allows you to personalize your Tripp Trapp high chair to suit your taste and home decor. Whether you prefer understated neutrals, playful prints, or bold pops of color, there's a Classic Cushion to suit every aesthetic and mood.



The Classic Cushion consists of 2 parts that easily attach to the Tripp Trapp. And they are machine washable. 



And I just couldn't pass on this Mickey Mouse print! 



Made from wipe-clean materials, it effortlessly withstands spills, crumbs, and everyday messes, ensuring that your high chair remains clean and hygienic with minimal effort.



Crafted with Scandinavian precision and ingenuity by Stokke, this iconic high chair isn't just a piece of furniture; it's a staple in modern family living, seamlessly blending functionality, style, and comfort. 



More than just a high chair, the Stokke Tripp Trapp is a symbol of quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and enduring value that grows with your family every step of the way.
