Built to grow with your child, the Tripp-Trapp wooden high chair from Stokke can seat anyone from a newborn to a 300-pound adult.
The Tripp-Trapp is also small, lightweight, and easy to clean.
The harness is finicky, the tray requires two hands for removal, and the initial assembly was frustrating at best.
The design is timeless (we're especially taken with the natural beech finish), the real wood construction is sturdy, and the adjustable seat plate and foot disk are ingenious.
