Just as the thread title says really!


I would like to buy a second hand tripp trapp (no luck so far please let me know if you have one to sell!) and am wondering if I end up having to get all the different parts separately on ebay or something, if all the bits are useable on both the old style and new style chair - I see the design changed slightly at some point.


So can you interchange the old leather strap babyset and the new plastic one on both old and new style highchair?

And can you interchange the old style cushion sets with the new style cushion sets on both old and new style highchair?

I don't want to buy all the bits and realise they won't work together cos they're a mix of old and new if you see what I mean!


Advice from tripp trapp veterans greatly appreciated


Edited to say, not being lazy, I would ring customer services but for Great Britain customer services is based in Germany so asking the forum before resorting to phoning abroad!

Hey


I have a weird combo of bits and it works fine. The only thing I think you have to be wary of is the much older chairs that have a high rounded back, they have their own cushions but you prob wouldnt be able to get those now anyway. I have the standard tripp trapp chair plus a plastic babyset back with a wooden bar that slots into the frame of the chair rather than attaches to the plastic seat back, if that makes sense. I think all bits should work fine but I am also new to the tripp trapp market so perhaps someone more qualified can help!


Jenny

that makes sense Jenny as actually the plastic back is on the old chair as well... (yours looks the same as mine & mine is an 'Old style') so the only 'new' bit is the front plastic bit and if your chair fits both the plastic bit and the wooden bar and leather strap combo then in theory yes.... the attachments must still be the same...

Plus you might get a 2nd hand 'new' style a la Jenny...

I've got a new chair and old style baby set with plastic back and leather strap, fits fine.


I bought the chair new around a year ago however wasn't keen on the new plastic baby set, harder to get baby in and out chair.


One item I would recommend is the sliders, You can buy them separately and they do work.

I used the old baby set with a new tripp trapp chair, but the back leg plastic safety extenders are not transferable.


Maybe they sell them now, but six months ago I could not buy them individually without buying a new baby set. I emailed tripp trapp to complain and they sent me them free of charge.

    • I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!! 
    • I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.    
    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.
