We asked our community of over 10,000 mums whether the Tripp Trapp High Chair is actually worth the investment.
The Tripp Trapp high-chair has a reputation for being one of the best-designed children’s chairs on the market. It’s durable, ergonomic, and built to grow with your child, but it also comes with a serious price tag. A mum wrote into us telling us she regretted the purchase. Seeing as it’s an expensive investment we decided to carry out a poll to see if they regret it!
⭐ 82% of Mums Said: “Yes — We Love It!”
Out of our full poll, 82% of mums said they love their Tripp Trapp — and would absolutely buy it again.
That means 18% of mums didn’t like it, and here’s what they told us
⚠️ Why 18% of Mums Said They Regret Buying It
While the majority strongly recommend the Tripp Trapp, a small but important group of mums shared why it wasn’t the right fit for them:
✘ The accessories add up
Many mums said the chair itself is already pricey, but once you add the newborn set, baby set, tray, and cushions, the total can feel overwhelming.
✘ It’s not the easiest to clean
A recurring complaint was crumbs getting stuck in the corners and crevices. It wipes down well, but it’s not as “one swipe and done” as plastic alternatives.
✘ It takes up more space than expected
In smaller kitchens or tight dining areas, some mums felt it was bulkier than ideal.
✘ Their baby simply didn’t take to it
Some babies prefer different seating positions or different styles of chairs. It’s impossible to predict, and a few mums said theirs just wouldn’t sit in it.

⭐ Why 82% of Mums Said: “Yes — We Love It!”
The overwhelming majority of mums who own the Tripp Trapp say they would buy it again in a heartbeat. Here’s why:
✔ It lasts for years
This isn’t a chair you use for six months and then toss aside. The adjustable design means it works from babyhood to childhood (and even beyond).
✔ Less plastic!
No bulky plastic tray. No awkward positioning. Just proper family mealtime, which so many mums say made a real difference.
✔ It feels solid and safe
The quality is instantly noticeable. Sturdy wood, no wobbling, and far more secure than many cheaper alternatives.
✔ It looks beautiful in your home
You don’t have to sacrifice your kitchen aesthetic for a bit of baby gear. This chair blends in effortlessly.
📝 Final Thoughts — What Our Mums Really Think
The bottom line: For most mums, the Tripp Trapp Chair is worth it, a high-quality, long-term, family-friendly seat they’d recommend.
But it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.
