What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—assembly and adjustments—aligns with video reviewers' complaint that adjusting seat and footrest height requires an Allen wrench and trial-and-error.
In their words
“Been using the Stokke Tripp Trapp for a while now and honestly… it’s so good. Super solid, easy to clean, and looks so aesthetic in my kitchen. I love that my 3 month old can sit right at the table with us — it just makes meals feel more connected. And the fact that it grows with them? Feels like one of the few baby things that’s actually worth the investment.”

“I was very eager to buy this high chair for my son and had watched it for almost a year. Finally we bought it when he was 1 year old and used since then. First of all they claim it can be used until age of 100 years which is senseless. My 2 years old already wants to use adult seat, and it wouldn’t be even comfortable or any useful after the toddler ages. It looks pretty in the dining room that’s ”
