It's all wood and leather. Price was similar to the Tripp Trapp too.</p> <p>ETA: Oh I just saw this is an old thread :) Ah, well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp/page/2#post-1538830 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 06:41:46 +0000 looch 1538830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's pretty common, that they're not helpful, because they want you to buy the new model, of course!</p> <p>The Tripp Trapp looks cool, but my son hated it, I mean, to the point where he wouldn't sit in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp/page/2#post-1538823 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 06:37:00 +0000 kml636 1538823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: @Sammyfab: Thanks Ladies! My LO is 16 months so I will probably be able to use it without the harness soon. </p> <p>@Greentea: I know, I'm annoyed. It seems like the bars were discontinued so we are screwed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp/page/2#post-1538333 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:12:51 +0000 Greentea 1538333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like it. I am a huge stokke fan but it is not my favorite. </p> <p>@kml636: I unknowingly purchased an older model and it isn't compatible with the new baby seat so I couldn't even use it! Stokke didn't help at all. Mine needs the bar (?) Why wouldn't they make the newer accessories compatible with the old. Lame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp/page/2#post-1538318 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:04:41 +0000 Sammyfab 1538318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: We stopped using the harness really early on (probably before 1?). My LO isn't a daredevil though and he never tried to climb out. He just turned 2 and we recently converted it into the regular chair so he definitely doesn't use the harness now and we have had no accidents so far (he climbs in and out independently and safely!).</p> <p>How old is the Tripp Trapp? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp/page/2#post-1538287 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 19:54:48 +0000 T-Mom 1538287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: we actually passed it on to my DS and I never got a new one for her. He does still use the harness occasionally at age 2. It's definitely not necessary at age 4 though.. It's odd that the seller couldn't provide the harness for you! How old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp/page/2#post-1538115 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 19:04:55 +0000 kml636 1538115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this... I just bought a tripp trapp off craigslist. It came without a harness, I ordered the stokke one and it doesn't fit. Come to find out it's an older model and it needs an older harness? Anyone else have luck finding one? I've contacted Stokke and since it's not under warranty they aren't much help... </p> <p>If I can't find one I guess I will just use it without the harness as she gets older. </p> <p>@T-Mom: Do you use a harness with your four year old still? I see it in the picture but do you feel like she needs it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516772 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:14:45 +0000 MamaMoose 516772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@me0wmeeh: thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516766 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:12:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 516766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: great list - I hadn't even thought of the ability to push back... though couldn't they technically do that with almost any booster type chair?</p> <p>I don't have one but my nanny family did and I thought it was great! Especially once the kiddos could climb up/down it themselves. They never rocked the chair back, but the girl was very cautious and calm by nature so that was why... If you don't buckle them in, it's easy for them to fall so that could be an issue... I know my nanny family didn't like buckling them in because they didn't want them to feel constrained or like it was "punishment".. so the toddler fell a few times before he got the hang of it.</p> <p>I personally wouldn't use it for a baby (maybe with the tray), but your DD is 2 so I think it'd be a great option. That is sooo generous of your mom! So sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516760 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:05:26 +0000 teamjse 516760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I got it at amazon.com</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002QRVH1Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1358737454&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SL75" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002QRVH1Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1358737454&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SL75</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516609 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:26:34 +0000 MamaMoose 516609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@me0wmeeh: where did you buy that tray? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516607 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:25:16 +0000 chopsuey 516607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha I'll post a pic after we get it on tues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516602 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:20:46 +0000 autumnlove 516602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I can't wait to see your LO in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516595 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:10:39 +0000 chopsuey 516595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I only got it bc my mom sent money! I figure it'll last us many years and we'll get good use out of it.<br /> We've been lucky and hvent had to buy much baby gear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516577 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:51:28 +0000 tequiero21 516577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yup, plus i have the fisher price ones, which i use a lot... ah well! my husband wants to start tallying all the money we spend so the kids could pay us back haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-516565 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:40:02 +0000 Andrea 516565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: @tequiero21: it looks really nice but I am too cheap to buy it. and wow, @tequiero21, you must have two? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-515175 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:54:41 +0000 T-Mom 515175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pic of my DD's TT. She's still using at 4 yr for eating, craft time, etc and doesn't use dining table chairs since she would still need a booster. When she's totally big enough to sit in our dining chairs, I'll move it to her room and use it at her desk for as long as she's in the house..<br /> ETA: I probably need to adjust the seat one more level down for her!</p> <p>[attach=566/13/mgwacj.450x600.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-515128 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:39:48 +0000 tequiero21 515128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: in the pics, u see a grown man sitting on it lol....</p> <p>That's why I got the convertible crib so they can use it forever! Lol but I mentioned it to my hubby's colleague and he made a joke about it and my hubby's like, this is my crib... Literally. I guess it's embarrassing haha.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-515126 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:37:55 +0000 chopsuey 515126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yeah. She'll use it til she can sit in a dining chair, then J will use it. When he's done we'll either sell it or use it around the house for extra seating? Max weight is 300lbs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-515120 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:32:08 +0000 Andrea 515120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: interesting. Are you planning on using this until she sits on one of your dining chairs? I guess there is no max age for it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-515006 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 14:06:00 +0000 teamjse 515006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it, LO have been using it since he was a newborn, we have the newborn set. At 5 months he just moved to the baby set. It's easy to clean and comfortable without the cushions.</p> <p>We got the playtray for it instead of the Stokke tray because it was more stable. </p> [attach=129/13/mgvzq1.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514862 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 10:44:15 +0000 SugarplumsMom 514862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mrsmate, I also think a tray defeats the purpose of the TT. That's why we're perfectly fine with our cheap Ikea high chair - we rarely eat at the table and have no use for it at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514858 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 10:36:36 +0000 SugarplumsMom 514858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: The in-laws got DD one to use at their place. She started sitting in it at 5 months. She wasn't eating solids yet, but would just sit there and watch us eat at the table while she gnawed at her toys. I think anytime your LO can sit up easily is fine. Btw, theirs don't have any cushions and she seems perfectly comfy in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514783 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 08:36:14 +0000 Sammyfab 514783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: yes, we have hardwood. I can totally see how it would tip on a rug!</p> <p>@shopaholic: we started using ours around 4.5 months just to have him sit at the table with us during meals (we hadn't started solids yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514734 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 07:15:24 +0000 mynoahbear 514734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it. We've been using it since LO was 6 months old. The only thing is, we had to move the foot rest down because LO started standing on it and climbing out of the chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514674 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 03:05:32 +0000 shopaholic 514674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@London Mama: Wow! I didn't know they have been around that long!</p> <p>@tequiero21: Thanks! I will start looking for one when time comes near! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514673 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 03:02:00 +0000 London Mama 514673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it, it's expensive but will last for your grand kids. Not exaggerating, my mum has a Tripp trapp from when I was little that we now use for DS when visiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514669 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 02:33:35 +0000 mrsmate 514669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: ITA, a tray kind of defeats the purpose of the TT for me. We have a mat too. Great minds think alike! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514662 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 02:06:56 +0000 tequiero21 514662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: we started using it around 6 mos when the kids were ready to eat solids.... They have to be able to keep their head up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-tripp-trapp#post-514633 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 00:52:37 +0000 shopaholic 514633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question: When do the LOs start sitting in the Tripp Trapp high chair? It's on our registry but definitely no one is getting us this high-ticket item. Wondering when I should start keeping my eyes peeled on CL for one! </p>
