This year marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Tripp Trapp chair and we think this is a milestone worth celebrating!
Designed in Norway by Peter Opsvik, and launched in 1972, millions of children around the world have since enjoyed a seat at the table. The Tripp Trapp is a chair that will grow with your child from newborn to adulthood, so you can enjoy it for generations.
My Baba’s founder Leo Bamford says: “One of the first purchases I made when I was pregnant was a Tripp Trapp. Although I thought I’d pass it down from child to child, I ended up buying one for each of my three children. Now my eleven-year-old still insists on sitting in his bright red seat.”
Though times have changed, the mystery of being a new parent hasn’t. By sitting together at the table with their families, children have been able to learn, develop and connect with the people that care about them most. It´s this connection that allows parent and child to get close, communicate and figure it out together.
To celebrate this wonderful anniversary, Stokke is proud to offer a truly exceptional, limited edition anniversary collection with a collection of Limited Edition Ash chairs. Lending to the exclusivity of the chair, each Tripp Trapp chair will have its own number, like a piece of art, as well as a laser engraved anniversary logo.

We LOVE Frugi’s brand-new Rambler 3 in 1 Coat, and think it’s the ideal option for the back-to-school autumn/winter months. The Rambler is a 3-in-1 coat packed with handy features.
