ABC Kids Expo 2008: Stokke Baby Set

Chris Ford — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:02:00 GMT

Stokke had some new products at ABC this year, and my favorite is what they're calling the "Baby Set." It's a plastic railing (for kids aged six to eighteen months) that goes around your Tripp Trapp chair, but now it has a higher back for extra support. I'm a huge fan of the Trip Trapp chair for older kids, and with this attachment I can really see using it as a high chair for any aged child. It's available in all eleven colors that the Tripp Trapp is available in, or you can mix and match like in the picture above.

The Stokke Baby Set should retail for $89.99. Check it out at StokkeUSA.com

New Tripp Trapp Colors from Stokke

Introducing Tripp Trapp's new Trend Collection from Stokke. The Trend Collection comes in gray, yellow, pink, and green. (The classic collection comes in white, natural, cherry, walnut, black, red, and turquoise.) We've written about the highchair that grows with your child before. The Tripp Trapp chair gives the perfect support at every stage of a child's development starting at around six months until they can sit in the same chair as Mom and Dad.

What I like most about the chair is it’s easy to clean. Without all those little grooves everywhere you can easily wipe it down after the slop-fest. Some feel it's better to use the Tripp Trapp after they've outgrown the high chair or booster and I probably agree. (See Droolicious archive of that post here.) Without a doubt, the Tripp Trapp is a great looking chair and now there are even more colors to choose from. There are also eight new cushions available for the Tripp Trapp: denim blue, linen natural, tales green, tales pink, art stripes, beige stripes, dots brown, and dots black. Shop the Tripp Trapp's new collection at All Modern Baby for $299.99 and free shipping. Visit the Stokke website here.

Last Day To Get Tori Spelling's Baby Stuff

Like Fame Crawler told you over a week ago (and we mentioned here on Droolicious), the Johnson's Celebrity Hand-Me-Down auction is going on, and you've less than a day to bid on all kinds of used baby stuff from celebrities. Of course all the money goes to charity, but is a diaper bag really worth over $500 - even if Donna Martin used it first?

More info on what else is being sold after the jump.

There are eight items in the auction, all from celebrity moms except Matt Damon, who is offering a diaper bag. (Apparently it's not good enough that Matt Damon is a dad. Unlike the celebrity moms, someone decided they needed to include his wife Lucy's name in the auction too. But I digress...).

In my opinion the best item up for bids is the Stokke Tripp Trapp chair from Julianne Moore, but you can also bid on car seats from Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Elisabeth Rohm, a high chair from Poppy Montgomery and "baby gift ideas" from Jeri Ryan. It's too bad I'm not a celebrity - I've got a closet full of unused baby gifts too.

Check out the Johnson's Celebrity Hand-Me-Down Auction at eBay.

Tripp Trapp: Not a High Chair but a Transition Chair

Chris Ford — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:01:00 GMT

If you're looking for the perfect high chair for your brand new I-just-started-eating-solid-foods son or daughter, then check out some of the other chairs we've written about. However if your child has outgrown that high chair and you're looking for something better than a booster, then the Tripp Trapp from Stokke might be the chair for you.

The Tripp Trapp from Stokke (or KinderZeat in Europe) is a clever design that allows the seat and foot rest to adjust as your child grows. I guess the theory is that if young legs aren't swinging about (as they would in a normal dinner chair) then your child will be less fidgety at the table. Better than that though is the way it looks. Reminiscent of the Rietveld Zig Zag chair, it's a chair you won't mind having to look at every day.

There are cushions you can buy, but I think they kind of ruin the look, not to mention they become one more thing to keep clean. There's even a plastic enclosure so an infant won't fall out, but I don't recommend that either, Leave the high chairs for the babies, and this chair for the big kids.

Oh, and one last thing. Having just purchased my second, I'm definitely not a fan of the new strap system they've implemented (you can find pictures on their web site) I prefer the old lap belt only. But as a chair for kids who have graduated to the family's table, it's still my favorite.

Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair is available in many colors for $229. Find a local dealer here.
