Stokke Tripp trapp worth the hype?

We have one and love it. Means as toddlers they can get easily up and down themselves and we use it for the older one to 'help' in the kitchen. I think you find them on market place because they last well so have a lot of life in them after one child 😅

Thanks @Sabine that’s useful! I thought that they convert into an actual chair though that can be used ‘for life’ but it seems as though people sell them once they’ve finished using them as high chairs. I’m not fussed about the high chair but my mum is set on buying a stokke for my little one. I just hate to think of her spending all that money (she wants to get it new) if it’s not worth it. If you don’t mind me asking, if you were buying again, would you pay full price?

They do convert into chairs and last a while. My half sister had hers for 6/7 years. Our 2 year old uses it now without the high chair bit and it works great as steps to get up to the seat herself. We have just 'upgraded' her to a booster seat so the second baby can use it as a high chair but otherwise we would have continued to use it

I had it as a present so would take it again as that. Else I would buy second hand but def get one. Lasts longer than other high chairs I have seen and is more aesthetically pleasing

I didn’t get it because of how many accessories are required to upgrade it at each stage. Feels like a trap, once you’re in, they fleece you endlessly. That’s my impression anyways, may not be true

I got a Hauck alpha and it’s brilliant! About a third of the price with all the accessories etc

@Jing that made me laugh! Which one did you go for in the end and would you recommend?

@Ali im happy to have a second hand one but you know what some grandparents are like, they think that it’ll fall apart with the baby in it unless it’s new 😄

@Hope I’ve not heard of that one. I shall Google it. Thank you 😊

It does worth it in my opinion. We have one, and we love it! You can keep it for years. It is very pricey though, especially with all the accessories. We’re planning to have a second child though, so hopefully we can use them again.

I have one, secondhand. I like the ergonomics of it

I have a second hand one. They’re designed to last for years and be passed on - it’s great. We’ve had the newborn part so she could be at the table with us

@Taryn 😄I got a hand me down baby bjorn one from my SIL so luckily didn’t have to buy one. I did consider getting a new one, so did some research. I know there is “baby tax”, but I really don’t understand the hype behind Stokke. For that much money I could get a high chair and a normal chair separately and have leftovers. It also doesn’t save any space because of all the parts. Why? Sorry, I’m ranting again 🤪

Also considering but can’t help feel they look v uncomfortable for a younger baby (6m) I’m also looking at the silver cross one that converts to a shorter floor play table x
