Tripp Trapp: The Future of Family Meals

While some manufacturers of juvenile products are content to make cosmetic changes to their line of high chairs, along comes Stokke to revolutionize the concept of seating for the whole family. The Tripp Trapp not only helps young children eat at the table with the family, but it can grow with your child into adulthood. Want to keep them coming home for supper? Make sure there is always a place at the table for them.

You Can’t Eat With Your Feet off the Ground

Try to imagine eating all your meals while floating in a pool. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t get to the food. That’s because we need our feet on the ground when we sit. Well, kids are no different. When they sit in high chairs or regular chairs that are too big, their feet are dangling in the air. It is difficult for them to eat properly.

Along comes Stokke with the Tripp Trap Chair. The Tripp Trapp has a movable footrest so that your child’s feet will rest comfortably, no matter how big he or she is. As your child grows, just keep lowering the footrest. When their legs are long enough to reach the ground, just take off the seat, and use the footrest shelf as the new seat. Now the chair you used for your three year old is comfortable seating for an adult!

The Tripp Trapp also has a backrest. When young children sit in adult chairs, they have to sit all the way forward to reach their food. They have no lumbar support since their backs are so far away from the seat back. When they sit in a Tripp Trapp, their feet and back are always supported, no matter how big they are.

Most high chairs have separate trays. Kids sitting in them are not really sitting at the table. They can feel isolated from the family at mealtimes. The Tripp Trapp lets every kid know that they are an important part of the family. Once they can sit up, they can sit at the table just like everyone else. They eat their food from a place setting, not from a tray.

What makes the Cherry Finish Trip Trapp Chair Special?

Beautiful dark cherry wood finish.
Five point safety harness.
Solid footrest as a base for the child’s feet. This gives the child a safe and secure platform for all activities at the table with the rest of the family.
Tripp Trapp supports your child’s feet and back from 6 months through childhood, and into adulthood, promoting natural posture and vitality as well as providing a feeling of security.
Children normally begin to use Tripp Trapp as soon as they can sit unassisted (6-8 months) and by adjusting the seat height, they can continue through childhood. By using the footrest as a seat, and removing the lowest steel bar, Tripp Trapp can be used as a chair for teens and adults!
