For you & your child
Children learn and develop from observing and interacting with their parents and surroundings. Sharing, bonding and developing communication skills that helps them to interact not only in childhood, but also in later life.
Interacting with your child creates a sense of belonging and security, as well as a foundation for their happiness, communication and development.
For the modern family, spending time together during the normal working day is often difficult, and one of the few opportunities that we have to do so is at the family meal.
Research tells us that the family dinner table is an ideal place for language development and social skills to evolve (Tarkan 2005).
The Tripp Trapp children’s chair by Stokke, designed by Peter Opsvik in 1972, provides the correct ergonomic support for your child whilst seated, and enables your child to sit at the family table, to interact with you and other family members.
Studies show that children fidget less, are able to reach further, and are able to sit more comfortably in a chair with an adjustable seat and footrest, due to their ability to move, reposition, and more freely shift weight (Hedge 2002).
The unique adjustable features of Tripp Trapp provide optimal support for your child at every stage of their infancy and childhood. Allowing your child to sit safely, securely and comfortably, resting elbows at table height through the fully adjustable seat plate, and feet through the fully adjustable footrest.
Exceeding all international safety standards, the award winning Tripp Trapp is made from durable environmentally friendly beech wood, and is available in ten different colours with a wide range of accessories.
More than a highchair, Tripp Trapp is the only chair your child will ever need.
