Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair - Black

Overview

The Stokke Tripp Trapp is a solid-beech chair, designed by Peter Opsvik in 1972, that brings a child up to the family table and is meant to keep being used through childhood and into adulthood. This listing is the chair only, in Black: to use it as a high chair for a baby you need the Tripp Trapp Baby Set, and from birth the Newborn Set, both sold separately.

Key features (per Stokke and the Amazon.sa listing)

• Seat and footplate adjust in both height and depth, so the chair can be set to fit the child as they grow.
• Made of cultivated beech wood with a water-based varnish.
• Designed for dining tables 72-76 cm high; assembled size 79 × 49 × 46 cm.
• Stokke says it was tested to withstand loads up to 136 kg.
• With the Baby Set, the chair assembly meets EN 14988:2017 and is intended for children who can sit unaided, up to 3 years or 15 kg.
• 7-year extended warranty when you register the chair with Stokke.

What reviews found

• Wirecutter (updated December 2025) made it the upgrade pick among high chairs: comfortable and easy to use for both a 7-month-old and a preschooler, very long-lasting and easy to resell, but much more expensive than its top pick, harder to clean, and the base chair needs add-ons for infants. Assembly took about 36 minutes.
• BabyGearLab (updated June 2025) tested the bundle with the Baby Set: 71/100, a close runner-up to its top pick, with a 9/10 for quality but low marks for set-up and footprint; it found the buckling system bulky and the infant insert tricky.
• Amazon.sa: 4.7/5 from 1,484 ratings. That figure is shared by all colours and includes reviews from other Amazon stores.
• We have not tested it ourselves; this verdict is based on independent reviews, shopper ratings and Stokke's own information.

Who it suits

• Families who want one chair that lasts from the high-chair stage to the school years and beyond, and are ready to buy the Baby Set for a child under 3.
• Homes where the child eats at the family table, at a standard 72-76 cm table.
• Parents who value build quality and resale value over price.

Limits and cautions

• On its own it is not a baby high chair: under 3 years, use it only with the Baby Set (and from birth only with the Newborn Set).
• Do not seat a baby in it before they can sit up unaided, and never leave the child unattended.
• Stokke warns of tilting if the child pushes their feet against the table, and says the chair must never be used without the gliders under the legs.
• Expensive, and accessories add to the cost.
• Assembly takes time, and screws need re-tightening 2-3 weeks after assembly, then regularly (for example every two months).

Care

• Wipe with a clean damp cloth, then dry; Stokke does not recommend detergents.
• Avoid leaving it in direct sun, as the colour may change.
• Keep the Allen key to check the screws.
