Choosing the Best Wooden High Chair
for Your Baby


When it comes to buying toys and products for your baby, your main concerns are probably price and durability; you want your dollar to stretch as far as possible, but you also don't want to head out to the store to replace everything you just bought!

You can skimp in some areas, by buying used clothes for example, since your baby will out grow them right before your eyes.

But other baby products, like high chairs, cribs, or strollers, should last a long time and grow with your baby.

If you plan your budget right, you can buy just one high chair for your baby that will last and grow with them—even into adulthood!

That's right, the adjustable Tripp Trapp chair from Stokke is designed to fit babies from about six months (when they are strong enough to sit up on their own) until adulthood (the chair can hold up to 300 pounds!).

As your child grows, the chair transforms from a baby high chair, to a toddler high chair, to a child seat, and finally to an adult chair. The strong construction and durability of the Tripp Trapp garauntee that it will still be around, even after your baby has grown up and left for college!

The Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair


The Tripp Trapp provides support for your baby so they don't feel like they are dangling in mid air. It also allows your baby to eat at the table with the rest of the family, encouraging healthy eating habits and a social environment. The Tripp Trapp is also great for special needs children who require more support and a large foot rest.

Other features of the Tripp Trapp chair include:

When purchasing a Tripp Trapp chair it's a good idea to also buy the Baby Rail (for use from about 6 to 24 months) and the Cushion (which comes in 7 different designs and is machine washable). These accessories will help keep your baby safe and comfortable.
