Tripp Trapp Chair Review – Is It Worth It? Here’s What Our Mums Really Think
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.
