The Stokke is the full package: it's durable, beautiful, and can last the entire childhood. Plus in my area it has great resale value. We started with the baby seat and tray from 6 months, and my daughter is 2.5 and still uses it every night.
"Full package," 2+ years of daily use, cites durability, beauty, and resale value. Strongly positive.
Yes it is. And the child can use it for years. Also it has a nice baby module the newborn can be in as well as extra modules for the toddler. Love ours. But I'm also scandinavian 😅
"Love ours," cites specific features: newborn module, toddler modules, years of use. Enthusiastic endorsement.
I bought 2 used, and they are still in use by my now 3 and 6 year olds. It's really good to support posture!
Direct ownership of 2 chairs, used for 3-6 years, specific benefit cited: posture support. Enthusiastic.
Love my Tripp Trapp. I dunno what everyone's (on other threads) issue is cleaning it, it seems pretty easy since it's just flat wood?? I have the padded baby bits, I throw them in the wash when they get bad. I wash the tray after he eats and the baby set and straps maybe once every week or two, just in my sink with a sponge and Dawn. The Catchy is LIFESAVING. I have a 99th %ile baby so I liked that it has a near-infinite weight limit.
"Love my Tripp Trapp," describes specific cleaning routine, notes high weight limit useful for 99th percentile baby. Enthusiastic with practical detail.
I have a Tripp Trapp, my parents have the Antilop. Dear god, I hate that Antilop so much. Everyone fucking trips on it. Doesn't matter if it's tucked in the corner, the legs suddenly find their way to trip you. But it is good for the price and easy to clean so there's that. If you have a large dining area, go for the Antilop. If you care about longevity and your toes, go for the Tripp Trapp.
Owns Tripp Trapp, recommends it for longevity and compact legs. Contrasts favorably against Antilop's tripping hazard.
I have a 3yo and we've used the Tripp Trapp since she was 6 months old. I found the cushion and harness of the baby set a bit difficult to clean, but the actual wood seat has been great. I like how adjustable it is and it fit nicely in our small dining room.
2.5 years of daily use, likes adjustability and compact size. Notes cleaning difficulty with cushion/harness as a caveat.
The real take is that it depends… Do you only plan to use it as a high chair in the baby months and/or you're looking for the easiest to clean? Then it's probably not worth the cost. The baby seat is imo the worst part of the chair, the straps are a pain to clean, and you can't just hose down the whole chair like you could with one that's made of plastic. But if you want something that fits in with your decor, has legs that you're less likely to trip over or stub your toe on, can be pulled right...
Nuanced take from long-term user. Baby seat phase is negative (straps, cleaning), but overall recommends for decor, compact legs, table-height use. Net positive with caveats.
You're paying for aesthetics. I love how ours blends in with the dining area, but it's annoying to clean because the frame is wood and the underside of the tray was designed by someone who hates parents.
Owns it, loves the aesthetics but explicitly calls out cleaning difficulty and poor tray design. Balanced positive/negative.
Where are you? Wanna buy mine? I hated the straps so much but allegedly the new ones have improved straps. It's hard to maneuver babies in and out especially if they have thicker thighs. It's supposed to be a buy it for life chair, but my baby started climbing out of it by 12 months, and we soon transitioned to an ingenuity booster after that. She uses the booster still, at nearly 3, and won't even look at the Tripp Trapp.
Trying to sell theirs. Hated straps, baby climbed out at 12 months. Child won't use it at nearly 3 despite "buy for life" marketing.
No it's awful. Impossible to clean, nothing sticks to it, doesn't fold up. Of everything I bought for out bb this is the purchase I regret the most.
"Awful," "purchase I regret the most." Three specific complaints: impossible to clean, suction plates don't work, doesn't fold.
