Hi everyone,

I am trying to decide about whether to buy a Tripp trapp highchair - I'm very interested in buying the newborn set to go with it (baby is due early may). My husband seems to think it will be a waste of money but I wanted to hear if any one recommends them before I buy!

Thank you!

Though you have to watch out they don't push themselves & chair off from the table, thus tipping over backwards - not good!


Also ours drive Mr S mad cos the legs stick out & he still, even after 10 years, trips over them.


Still, 10 years on & they look as good (food particles aside) as the day we got them.

Don't have one but friends and family have them. Yes, they are nice but they all said that for weaning the plastic highchairs with the big trays are actually more practical. My nephew (2 years) definitely prefers his Ikea Antilop highchair (only around ?11).

Just to give a slightly different point of view, but love the design myself...

We have a baby dan high chair which is basically a poor man's tripp trapp - we wanted something that would look nice in our kitchen/dining room and would last for more than a year or two. As we are doing baby-led weaning my son eats directly off the table.

We only said last week how good ours has been (my daughter's 3.5yrs and uses it all the time). In fact she loves it so much so that when we broached the subject of her new baby brother one day using it, she refused point blank and said he'd have to have his own one.


They're not cheap but definitely worth it. And the baby set is brilliant for as soon as they can sit upright.

They now come with extended gliders that you attach to the bottom of the feet which stops this problem. I have a VERY wriggly toddler who does try to tip his back but it has never toppled. I think the extended gliders shift the centre of gravity in such a way that it can't.


I have invested in a harness though after he climbed out onto the table aged nine months. There is a non-removable bar which he uses to push himself up on so the harness has been essential for us. Otherwise we love it!

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
