Helpful review! I’ve seen so many that were all hype. This one is well balanced and real.

[@itsme6591]

Awesome review, thank you sir!

[@nataliejk27]

Thank you!!!

Hello. Thanks you for your guide and Help. I have a question. How to remove the belly strap? I see a clic but I don’t know how. Can you explain with another video ? please 🥺

[@redkulaT]

Unfortunately the belly strap (1:54) is permanently attached to the plastic bucket seat insert. There is no way to remove it. The only want to clean it is hand wash and soak the entire piece in a bucket. I'd recommend spraying it with baby oxi action and soaking in a bucket with laundry detergent and scrubbing the stains out to see if that helps. It's strange Stokke designed the belly strap like this.

Hi! Which color is your chair?

[@monikah8528]

Not sure if i missed it, but what colour is your tripp trapp? Thanks for the video

[@redkulaT]

You're welcome! This one is the hazy grey.

You don't really need the tray. At least if your table is not higher than 76cm that is. Our daughter just sits at the table with us and has the table as her giant tray. Also, we don't use the harnas, as we never leave her unsupervised anyway. But I do believe the harnas is mandatory in the US though, and you can't buy them without, unlike here in Europe.

[@redkulaT]

Very true, we shortened our table for our son to sit at.

[@orwellianyoutube8978]

@@redkulaT Yeah, I saw that. That is dedication for your son!

[@maddyhudson9464]

Did you purchase the slipping rests separately?

[@redkulaT]

Those came with the Tripp Trapp, did yours not? What year is yours, they were packaged weirdly when we unboxed the Tripp Trapp (separately from the screws)

[@ivelinawhite]

Mine’s nothing like this 😫 the harness is completely separate and there are no holes or grooves on the back rest 😫 It attaches to the chair through some plastic hooks. Bought mine just before Christmas 2021.

[@redkulaT]

Oh no! That is news to me, I wonder if the design has changed again, could you send me the link to the one you purchased?

[@jasminer7623]

Same as mine ! I think in the UK/Europe it’s a different design.

[@ShawnSKorin]

The 2022 model ha an adjustable belly strap.

[@redkulaT]

This is great to know, thanks for sharing!

[@LanaLam]

Can you remove the crotch strap from the bottom baby insert?

[@redkulaT]

Unfortunately not, it's permanently attached to the baby bucket seat insert. But you can remove the bucket seat (4:23) and soak the belly band in a bucket or spot clean it

[@sodaba2055]

Anyone else speed up the video to 1.25? Lol

[@juliamartin5281]

I really hate this high chair and I regret spending so much money on it. It’s so difficult to adjust anything and you have to pay for a lot of the useful accessories. Get a more basic high chair and you and baby will be happier

[@iouliajawad]

It’s not worth it!

[@TracyNoE]

Can you kindly elaborate? Interested to hear your thoughts on why you don't think it's worth it.

[@loredoezema3510]

I would not buy this chair again with the baby seat. The baby seat is way too small.

God i hate stokke
