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!

    • Ok thanks, I will ask the GP. Sorry, I know I post on here a lot/too much, but I'm not going into my medical issues on here. If I could find the information I need online, I obviously wouldn't need to see a dietician! Thanks for trying to help, though x
    • We had two air con units fitted with the heat pump mounted on the back wall.  one indoor unit in the loft and one in the kitchen/diner.  would not have been able to sleep in this heat in the loft without it - absolutely love it.  We have solar+batteries so with the amount of sun we having then its covering the cost of the aircon.  we used Progas Heating Services Ltd, 176 Sydenham road, London, SE26 5JZ Tel: 020 8 676 0101 [email protected] they were brilliant.  quick and straightforward to deal with.  highly recommend.  cost was ballpark £5k all in.  was quite a bit of chasing pipework into the walls and running pipes from the heat pump to the 2 units.  
    • Probably a daft question but does Chacarero not sell chacareros?
    • Sue , yes the NHS do employ dieticians.i used to see a lovely one ,Orla, at St Thomas's.
