This bundle includes everything you need to use the Tripp Trapp for baby's first meals: the chair, baby set with attached harness, food tray and seat cushion. - A CHAIR FOR LIFE - The Tripp Trapp High Chair brings your child right up to the table. This configuration is best for children from 6-36 months, but the chair can hold up to 300 lbs, so your child can use it forever. - COMPLETE SET - This set includes the Tripp Trapp chair, Baby Set & Classic Cushion, plus the Stokke Tray. The Baby Set comes with a five-point harness, back rest, rail, and extended gliders.

Plus, it’s available in a wide range of colors & two wood options, guaranteed to look beautiful in any setting. - JPMA CERTIFIED - We ensure the utmost safety & care when designing and manufacturing our products. The Tripp Trapp High Chair is certified by JPMA and meets or exceeds ASTM safety standards. - DESIGN WITH A PURPOSE - Tripp Trapp was designed by Peter Opsvik in 1972. Inspired by his young son Tor, who had grown out of his high chair but was still too small for an adult chair, Peter aimed to seat all ages at the same table comfortably.
