Both professional and consumer reviewers rave about the Stokke Tripp Trapp, noting its stylish design and adjustability. This wooden high chair can be adjusted as a child grows, and when converted into a stool, it can accommodate adults up to 300 pounds. The initial expense of the Tripp Trapp, which is made of solid beech wood, can be justified by the fact that it can be a usable piece of furniture for many years. The seat's height and depth are adjustable, and the footrest is also adjustable, so the Tripp Trapp can be completely customized to fit toddlers and children of many sizes. Many reviewers appreciate that the Tripp Trapp is designed to be placed right at the table, leading to more interaction between a toddler and the rest of the family at mealtime (though some say this makes it too easy for the child to push himself away from the table). The Tripp Trapp comes in 11 finishes, ranging from traditional wood tones to bright, fun colors such as red and blue. For those who prefer a tray for easier clean-up, the Fisher-Price Rainforest High Chair (*Est. $85) receives high marks from reviewers and offers multiple height adjustments.
The best review of the Stokke Tripp Trapp is in the latest edition of the popular baby-gear book "Baby Bargains." While the latest edition doesn't rank specific models in order of performance, many brands are reviewed and given a letter grade. A useful comparison chart is also included for easy reference. Informal reviews in magazines such as Cookie and People have also covered the Stokke Tripp Trapp. The downside to these reviews is that it's not always clear what methodology was used to determine which high chairs outperform others. Babble.com and Tibesti.com include high-chair recommendations among their product reviews, and the Stokke Tripp Trapp earns coverage in each. Reviews on these sites tend to be highly positive. Finally, consumer-review sites such as Amazon.com, Diapers.com and LilaGuide.com offer the best insight into practicality and long-term durability.

2. Amazon.com
About two dozen parents give the Stokke Tripp Trapp a middling average rating. It's clear that many parents really want to like this chair, but find it less than practical. The main complaint is that it's too easy for the child to push himself away from the table. And parents don't like that the accessories cost extra.

Review: Stokke Tripp Trapp Highchair, Contributors to Diapers.com
This review identifies the 10 best high chairs according to People magazine, providing a label for each, such as "best for travel" and "best booster." The Stokke Tripp Trapp wins out as "best looks-like-furniture high chair." This review is fairly balanced, as negatives are mentioned for each pick. In terms of the Tripp Trapp, the downside is that cushions and other accessories are an added expense for what is already a pricey high chair.
