Stokke Tripp Trapp (line)

A solid-wood chair with an adjustable seat and footplate that fits a baby with the Baby Set and then serves as a proper table chair for years, so one purchase covers both highchair and booster stages.

Not for: Parents who want a tray-fed, wipe-everything plastic highchair or who need to fold it away after every meal.

Stokke Tripp Trapp (line)

Adjustable seat and footrest support comfortable positioning, while the sturdy wooden design grows with your child.

Check before you buy

Safety standard. US: ASTM F404 for high chairs, F1235 for hook-on chairs, F2640 for booster seats. EU: EN 14988 for high chairs. Each format has its own stability, restraint and attachment tests, so check the standard that matches the format you are buying.
Restraint. 5-point harness plus a fixed crotch post or crotch restraint for babies. Falls and sliding under the tray are the main highchair injuries.
Adjustable footrest. The footrest should adjust in height so the child's feet rest flat. Supported feet give better posture and stability for chewing and swallowing, and reduce fidgeting.
Cleanability. Few seams and crevices, a removable tray or none at all, and wipeable or machine-washable fabric. Food packed into seams and straps is the top complaint about everyday use.
Table height. Seat adjustable to pull up to your actual table. Eating at the family table is the long-term use case.

Questions

Highchair or booster?

Use a highchair or Baby Set until the child sits steadily and can be trusted at the table. A booster or hook-on suits older toddlers, small kitchens and travel.
