When children sit on adult chairs or in a traditional high chair, they lose contact with the floor. Childrens legs are dangling in mid air, which makes it difficult for them to move and interact around the table. In traditional chairs older children have to raise their arms and shoulders to eat, which is both awkward and tiring. Stokke Tripp Trapp is the chair that grows with the child. It is sturdy and gives perfect support at every stage. An adjustable seat and footrest give proper support, and the confidence to move around freely. If you are using the Stokke Tripp Trapp from 4months+, you will need to also purchase the Baby Set: TrippTrapp Baby Set
Optional extras include: Trapp Trapp Cushion, Babyset and Tabletop Latest 2011+ model and includes the safety harness and extended gliders Stokken Tripp Trapp adjusts to the size of your child, ensuring he or she is always at the perfect height to eat, play and interact, with his or her feet properly supported, at whatever age.

Lisa Girvan gives six of the best a good going-over. Highchairs are more than just a safe way to entrap your little muffin while meeting his or her nutritional needs. Today's highchairs can help to create a dining experience where your little one, sitting comfortably, learns about the exciting world of tastes, textures and smells, all while looking cool in a modern piece of seating design. When deciding which highchair to buy consider whether you want to make an investment that will last a whole family and also, how much room you have.
We asked mum of three Lisa Girvan to test the highs and lows of six quite different chairs. Tripp Trapp Highchair Made from beech wood, price: $425. Tripp Trapp cushions also available, from $79.95, and the Tripp Trapp harness, $59.95, all from www.naturebaby.co.nz Good bits: Here is the MacDaddy of the High Rollin' Toddlers' Club. This versatile highchair becomes a small child's chair that can be used for years to come. The accessories for this chair are gorgeous, such as the too-cute billy goat gruff safety harness. I was surprised at how comfortable the insert was and love how the seat adjusts to suit your table height. Not only that, when your child has out-grown the highchair, it converts into a comfortable adult chair Tricky bits: This is the most expensive chair in the trial and the accessories are expensive too. No tray means this chair needs to be permanently parked up at a table which may not suit all lifestyles. Bottom line: A big investment but you'll get longevity out of this chair, because you keep adjusting the seat height as the child grows.
It has no tray and although I love the concept of children eating meals together at the table, the reality is that not all families live like this. While expensive, the build quality is such that it will last and in my opinion, is worth the price tag. Valco Baby Genesis Highchair Available in black, aqua, red or ivory, $225 from Good bits: This executive-style chair certainly looks impressive, and is a super cool seat for the business of savouring mushy delectables and finger foods. Its comfy, padded leatherette seat, easy-to-clean removable tray and foot rest are all well designed. It also reclines, folds for easy storage and overall is a good-looking piece of work. I trialled the black model but the red and white ones look super stylish. Tricky bits: Food can hide in the nooks and crannies of this chair and the leg holes don't look as if they would accommodate a large toddler with gorgeous roly-poly thighs. Bottom line: This is a comfortable highchair with good features in the mid-price range.
Any junior CEO would be pleased to work from this chair. /retailers Good bits: The geniuses at Phil & Teds have done it again with another cutting-edge, futuristic piece of Kiwi ingenuity. This design may raise eyebrows as it certainly evokes memories of Star Trek with the cantilevered pod, but personally I loved the design. It has three tilt positions: sit, relax, sleep and something Phil & Ted refer to as "telescoping" where the chair extends up to breakfast bar height. The rubbery seat insert is comfortable, easily cleaned and, get this, dishwasher safe! It has a dishwasher-safe removable tray, an adjustable foot rest, it folds for storage and has a super safety harness much like in a car seat. Tricky bits: I'm not sure how long you could use this chair for your child as the pod is a snug fit and looks as if it wouldn't hold a larger toddler or child over the age of two. Also, this is a big, heavy highchair that takes up more space than your average chair. The cutting-edge design would appeal more to some than others and may not suit a "character" home.
Bottom line: The futuristic modern design is bound to be a talking point and design feature of any dining room. It adjusts and moves in all sorts of ways to suit your dining area and culinary preferences, and looks more expensive than its $299 price tag. Although a large chair, the moulded seat would appear to shorten its use if you have a bigger toddler. But kudos if you buy an Aotearoa-designed product. Mocka Designer Highchair Available in white, price: $79.95, cushion insert, $19.95, additional shoulder and waist harness, $19.95, all from Good bits: The Mocka chair is a clean, simple design. It has removable chair legs and tray so it can be stowed easily - fantastic when space is an issue. As it's basically a single piece of moulded plastic there are not really any secret places for leftovers to get stuck in. Tricky bits: I'm struggling to think of anything... I would recommend you buy the safety harness as well. It does come with a lapbelt but it's not really enough to keep your little one firmly ensconced.
Bottom line: Mocka is a cool Kiwi company with brilliant designs. I have the Mocka wooden highchair at home and absolutely adore it. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best, and this is certainly a strong example. At this price and with these features you can't go wrong. Baby Björn Highchair Available in red or white, RRP$399, for stockists visit http://www.bpmchildcare.co.nz Good bits: This sleek, unrivalled piece of Swedish design requires no safety harness. Somehow the tray holds the child in place. I have a very determined little monkey who gave it her best shot but couldn't escape. This highchair is smaller than the others and would suit smaller homes. I like that the seat design encourages the child to sit up straight and yet it looks comfortable. Tricky bits: I could be wrong but I don't think this highchair will last up to the age of three unless your poppet is a tiny tot. And it has a hefty price tag for a chair that may be used for only two years. Having said that, some kids have moved into grown-up chairs by this age anyway.
Bottom line: A highchair that doesn't need straps? In the infamous words of Miss Piggy, that's "Amazeballs!" It's a small chair and a clever design but I would be surprised if many two-and-a-half-year-olds with a good puku on them would fit into it. Babyco Platina Highchair Available in red, orange, lime or aqua, price: $169.95 from The Baby Factory Good bits: This highchair has loads of bangs for bucks. Packed with features such as the recline position for when the inevitable post-prandial lethargy ensues (the after-kai snooze). It has a removable tray, five height positions, it folds for easy storage, is easy-clean, has a removable seat cover and a foot rest. It's also the second cheapest in this trial. Tricky bits: This chair is fairly big so you'll need lots of space and, to be perfectly honest, I've never left a child sleeping in a high chair and don't really understand it… but perhaps I'm missing something? Bottom line: A comfy highchair that's jammed with features and is roomy enough to accommodate older toddlers plus it's great value for money.
