Just curious!

The trip trapp just looks better. I have no desire to put a big plastic chair in my dining room. I don't care how functional or easy to clean that it is. Plus, the stokke is a chair you can keep forever.
-
I love my OxO. If I had to trade it I would get the boon.
I don't really get the Tripp Trapp to be honest??
-
I like that the TT goes right up to the table so it blends in and almost looks just like another chair! Plus, it's wooden and I prefer that style, so yes, I would!
-
I prefer the look of the TT too. I also like that the TT transitions into a regular chair.
-
Yeah, I'd take the Boon, I guess?
I don't get the Tripp Trapp either.
I wouldnt want that thing in my house forever.
-
Is the tripp trapp lower than the Flair?
-
we have a tripp trapp and love it.
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. -
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.
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.
But now I'm thinking it probably won't match our decor. Hmmm....
-
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.
-
Oh absolutely. I will always choose wood over plastic.
-
@Charm54: I don't get the TT either!
-
@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).
I prefer the look of the Tripp trapp, personally.
-
We had a Flair. Hated it. We got a Phil & Teds Poppy but I love the Tripp Trapp.
-
I think after looking at the pics and my house, I'll just keep my Flair.
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.
This is our place. I think a wooden high chair won't fit as well. The tripp trapp is cute though!
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
@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
-
@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!
-
@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.
-
@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!
@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!
-
@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?
-
@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.
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.
-
We have the Tripp trapp and I love it!! It looks like a regular chair instead of a plastic monstrosity like most high chairs.
-
@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.)
eta again. We use the FP booster seat, just to give you an idea who you're talking to.
-
Our house style is clean lines and modern and I would definitely prefer the TT. But I'm already biased because we have two!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Not crazy about either of them, but I don't really care about highchairs haha it's not something I would spend much on. 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.
I wouldnt want that thing in my house forever.
