Stokke is the Norwegian design house behind the Tripp Trapp — arguably the most recognizable high chair in the world. Founded in 1932, the brand built its reputation on a single idea: baby products that adjust and grow with the child for years or even decades, rather than being outgrown in months. Stokke sits firmly at the premium end of the market, and the central question of any Stokke review is whether that longevity justifies the price.
This review covers Stokke's core baby products available in the US in 2026, with an honest assessment of build quality, longevity and value. Stokke's catalog is deliberately small and curated — a handful of hero products rather than a sprawling range — so this review goes deep on the items that matter.
Is Stokke worth the premium price?
Stokke's pricing only makes sense through the lens of longevity. The Tripp Trapp is not a "high chair" in the disposable sense — it is a chair that adjusts to hold a newborn, a toddler, a schoolchild and an adult, and many families genuinely use one for 20-plus years. Measured as cost-per-year, a Stokke product is often cheaper than buying two or three mid-range replacements. The brand also holds resale value strongly. If you value design and plan to keep the product for the long haul, Stokke is defensible. If you want maximum features for the lowest upfront price, it is not the brand for you.
Our Stokke product reviews for 2026
Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair
The product that defines Stokke. A solid-beechwood chair whose seat and footplate both adjust in depth and height, so it supports correct posture from 6 months through adulthood. With the Newborn Set it works from birth; with the Baby Set it becomes a true high chair.
- Lasts from baby to adult
- Solid beechwood, exceptional build
- Strong resale value
- Baby Set and cushion are extra
- Assembly takes patience
Stokke Flexi Bath Foldable Baby Bathtub
A foldable baby bathtub that collapses nearly flat for storage or travel — a genuine space-saver for small bathrooms. It works from newborn (with the separate Newborn Support) through about age 4, and a heat-sensitive plug warns if the water is too hot.
- Folds nearly flat
- Newborn through age 4
- Heat-warning plug
- Newborn Support sold separately
Stokke Sleepi Crib
An oval crib that converts as the child grows: bassinet, then full crib, then toddler bed, and ultimately two junior chairs. The oval shape suits smaller nursery footprints and the system can last from birth to roughly age 10.
- Converts birth to ~age 10
- Distinctive oval design
- Space-efficient shape
- Very high price
- Conversion kits cost extra
Stokke Tripp Trapp with Newborn Set
The Tripp Trapp chair bundled with the Newborn Set, the configuration that makes Stokke usable from day one. The Newborn Set cradles an infant in a gentle recline at table height so a newborn can join family meals; once your baby can sit unaided you switch to the Baby Set and the same chair becomes a true high chair.
- Ready to use from birth
- Same chair adjusts into adulthood
- Newborn Set included in the bundle
- Baby Set for older babies is still bought separately
What Stokke does better than other brands
- True longevity. Where most baby gear is outgrown in months, Stokke products adjust across years. The Tripp Trapp and Sleepi are designed to last most of childhood.
- Build quality. Solid European beechwood, tight tolerances, finishes that survive a decade of daily use. These are furniture-grade products.
- Design. Stokke pieces look intentional in an adult home rather than like plastic baby clutter — a real consideration for open-plan living.
- Resale value. Because the products last and are sought-after, used Stokke gear sells quickly and holds a high percentage of its price.
What could be better
- Accessories add up. The advertised price is rarely the real price — Baby Sets, Newborn Sets, cushions and conversion kits are sold separately and add meaningfully to the total.
- High upfront cost. The cost-per-year math is genuinely good, but the day-one outlay is steep and not every budget can absorb it.
- Small catalog. Stokke makes a curated handful of products. For one-stop shopping across every category, broader brands cover more ground.
How Stokke compares to other brands
Stokke vs. IKEA: the IKEA Antilop high chair costs a fraction of a Tripp Trapp and is genuinely good for a few years. Stokke wins decisively on longevity, materials and design; IKEA wins on upfront price. Stokke vs. Boon: Boon's high chairs are modern and wipe-clean but plastic and outgrown in a few years; Stokke's wood lasts decades. Stokke vs. Lalo: Lalo's wooden high chair competes directly with the Tripp Trapp on design at a somewhat lower price, but does not match Stokke's into-adulthood adjustability.
