Tripped over Stokke, Trapped in love!

I’m about to let you in on an amazing discovery I’ve made. Are you ready to be “in the know” of something that’s going to change your life as a parent? 5 words…

STOKKE TRIPP TRAPP HIGH CHAIR

My heart flutters with excitement just typing the words. Believe me when I tell you that you NEED this chair!

“But Kate, I don’t exactly have that kind of money to drop on a high chair.” you might be saying to yourself. Trust me, I know – we are a family on a budget too. But this is SO MUCH MORE than a high chair! And it has transformed our mealtimes, for the MUCH better. Had I known, I would have purchased it a long time ago!

I have the typical 2 year old…thinks he knows everything about everything, including when/where/how/what he should eat. I was SERIOUSLY dreading mealtimes because I would just watch him play with his food, throw his food, say “down, down!”, all while barely eating. SO FRUSTRATING, can I get an amen?

But I kid you not, since we got the Tripp Trapp, mealtimes have been a whole new experience. More on that in a minute…

Like I said, the Tripp Trapp Chair is so much more than a high chair. Its a concept, an experience, a new way of looking at mealtimes with your children. The chair is meant to pull right up to the table, so your child can interact and participate in family mealtimes. Not only does this chair grow with your child, it can adjust to CUSTOM FIT your child’s body enabling comfortable, correct ergonomic sitting. The high quality, safety, and functionality ensures a lifetime of use…and beyond! With the baby attachment, it can be used starting at the age of 6 months. It holds up to 300 lbs., so practically anyone in your family can use it!

The Tripp Trapp is also so much more esthetically pleasing than a bulky plastic high chair! Its lightweight, small, easy to assemble and easy to adjust. With all the colors and accessory options, you can get something to go perfectly with your decor.

So how has this made a difference in MY family? I’m not exactly sure how a chair has been so magical, but it HAS. I really believe that the concept behind the Tripp Trapp Chair works. My son is comfortably at the table interacting with us, able to climb up all by himself (which shows it was HIS decision to eat – important in the life of a 2 year old!), and able to climb down by himself when finished.

Here’s my 2 year old at lunch time…
Notice the LACK of temper tantrums and his willingness to cooperate with mealtime!
