I just got a space saving one that sits on a dining chair. If I had to choose, I'd probably go for the wooden one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1700294 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 05:10:02 +0000 Sparkler 1700294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither. My son fell out of a friends TT with the harness at 12 months. We just use boosters (fp and prince lionheart) and I like that when they are pushed in it just looks like a regular chair. I have major climbers, so stand alone chairs are too dangerous for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1700281 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 02:41:17 +0000 tequiero21 1700281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure about flair but I voted flair cuz I just don't like the Tripp trapp. I have two and it's a horrible design for toddlers. Not buying another one for my baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1700273 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 01:17:03 +0000 sunny 1700273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Boon Flair. I like that it is super easy to clean and that i can raise and lower it depending on the situation. I also wheel it around sometimes so that LO can watch me prep in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1700238 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 23:59:19 +0000 lamariniere 1700238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our house style is clean lines and modern and I would definitely prefer the TT. But I'm already biased because we have two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1700215 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 23:01:09 +0000 googly-eyes 1700215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Me neither! I'd definitely go for easy to clean...it's not like the majority of people with kids have spectacularly stylish and immaculate houses... Or at least not the ones I know! (Eta I meant while the kids are babies.)</p> <p>eta again. We use the FP booster seat, just to give you an idea who you're talking to. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1700011 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:46:21 +0000 MamaMoose 1700011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Tripp trapp and I love it!! It looks like a regular chair instead of a plastic monstrosity like most high chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699999 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:35:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 1699999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Yeah I guess that's a bonus for our hook on chair-- I put a table cloth under the chair and can just dump all the food into the garbage and wipe it up. However, the stupid chair itself is such a pain to clean. The poppy and flair both look so nice and simple to wipe down. </p> <p>My ideal chair would be the poppy chair piece, but as a hook on, instead of the legs. A girl can dream... about high chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699993 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:33:39 +0000 Anagram 1699993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yeah, that's one thing you don't have to worry about with a clip on chair! The wide base of the Flair annoys me because LO throws food down and I have to clean it after every meal. But I guess that's less I have to clean from the floor? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699992 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:33:28 +0000 Boheme 1699992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: The lift went out on our Flair two days after we got it home, and I was so annoyed! I love the way it looks though! </p> <p>@Anagram: @Foodnerd81: I'm kind of obsessed with our Poppy. The base does take up some room, but the footprint is smaller when you shorten the legs to make it a toddler chair. We do that and scoot him up to the table sometimes now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699991 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:31:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1699991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Weirdos. But my DH actually did have a point-- we thought we could trip or stub our toes on it, and since they were so spindly, it would be harder to avoid. Or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699985 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:30:31 +0000 Anagram 1699985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Men are so weird! We saw the Poppy in person lately and I showed it to him, and was like "See? It's so cute in person! I told you it was cute", and he was insisting the spindly legs were like, the worst thing ever. Whatever! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699984 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:27:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 1699984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: @grizz: So funny-- DH's exact objection to the Poppy was the "spindly legs". Mostly, we were worried about tripping over them, though, because our space is pretty small. I love the look of the chair part itself-- it looks so simple and easy to clean. But the footprint was too large for us :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699961 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:13:44 +0000 Anagram 1699961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Before we got our high chair, I was going to get a Poppy--how do you like it? DH didn't like the spindly legs, but I think it's super cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699959 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:12:49 +0000 Anagram 1699959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: yeah, the flair is not the best. I got ours for $50 with extra trays and an extra chair pad, so I figure it's pretty good for that price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699953 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:11:31 +0000 Anagram 1699953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think after looking at the pics and my house, I'll just keep my Flair. </p> <p>I feel like the Tripp Trapp is better for people who like Mission or farmhouse type decor and that's not really my style. And I like that the flair moves up and down and has wheels, because we wheel it different places, from the kitchen to our dining table.</p> <p>This is our place. I think a wooden high chair won't fit as well. The tripp trapp is cute though! </p> [attach=2976/14/n74tv7.600x450.living-room-before-curtains.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699948 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 19:10:04 +0000 Boheme 1699948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a Flair. Hated it. We got a Phil &amp; Teds Poppy but I love the Tripp Trapp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699924 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:57:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 1699924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: can't you raise the flair pretty high, like to a counter? I didn't research it much but it seemed like the flair could be raised to the level of a counter height breakfast bar. Most of the others, Tripp trapp included, are too low. We don't have a table, just an island with stools, and I wanted something where c could sit with us. (We got a hook on chair instead). </p> <p>I prefer the look of the Tripp trapp, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699921 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:55:55 +0000 swedishfish 1699921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: I don't get the TT either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699920 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:55:22 +0000 Arden 1699920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh absolutely. I will always choose wood over plastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699912 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:50:15 +0000 spaniellove 1699912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Tripp Trapp but I'm thinking of getting the Flair because I don't want to deal with all the extras I have to get. I guess the plastic part doesn't bother me since we have Panton chairs at that table so it would blend right in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699721 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:13:50 +0000 Anagram 1699721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our house is definitely on the modern side, and we have 0 wood right now in our living/dining space. Our temporary dining table is glass and chrome and our barstools are chrome and leather.</p> <p>But I know someone who is unhappy with her Tripp Trapp and wants a Flair. And I have a Flair that I don't really care about, one way or the other, and I was thinking about suggesting a trade. </p> <p>But now I'm thinking it probably won't match our decor. Hmmm.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699718 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:12:02 +0000 chopsuey 1699718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a tripp trapp and love it.<br /> the kids can climb up and down themselves, it saves space (it's just like a normal chair), looks nice, adults can sit on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699715 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:09:46 +0000 Anagram 1699715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the tripp trapp lower than the Flair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699714 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:09:42 +0000 loveisstrange 1699714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'd take the Boon, I guess?</p> <p>I don't get the Tripp Trapp either. :bummed: I wouldnt want that thing in my house forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-trade-a-boon-flair-for-a-stokke-tripp-trapp#post-1699713 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:09:30 +0000 Freckles 1699713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the look of the TT too.
