Stokke Clikk vs. Tripp Trapp: Which High Chair Is Right for You?
The Stokke Clikk vs. Tripp Trapp decision comes down to your family's priorities — not which chair is better. Kido Bébé's Montreal team has handled both in our showroom and can help you choose with confidence.
What Each Chair Is Designed to Do
The Stokke Tripp Trapp has been a staple of Scandinavian homes since 1972, with millions of chairs sold worldwide. It is designed as a lifetime seating solution, growing from infancy through adulthood. The Stokke Clikk is designed for a different purpose entirely: delivering everything a family needs during the dedicated high chair years, from 6 months to 3 years. Neither chair is a compromise. They solve different problems for different families, and Kido Bébé carries both as an authorized Stokke retailer.
Age and Weight Limits Compared
The Stokke Clikk is suitable from approximately 6 months — when a baby can sit unassisted — up to 3 years or 33 lbs. It is not suitable from birth. The Stokke Tripp Trapp, by contrast, accommodates use from birth with the separately sold Newborn Set, and continues through childhood and into adulthood. The Baby Set provides harness support for the high-chair phase. If your priority is a chair that serves multiple children over many years, the Tripp Trapp offers a significantly longer usable lifespan. The Clikk covers exactly the window most families need.
Assembly, Portability, and Ease of Use
The Stokke Clikk weighs approximately 3.6 kg (8 lbs) and assembles in under one minute without tools. It disassembles completely for cleaning or travel, with an optional travel bag. The Stokke Tripp Trapp is made from solid FSC-certified beech or oak wood, is heavier, and requires tools for initial assembly. Despite its greater weight, the Tripp Trapp has a narrower floor footprint. For families who move the chair frequently, travel regularly, or want the simplest daily setup, the Clikk has a clear practical advantage. Our Kido Bébé team has handled both and can demonstrate each in-store.
Cleaning and Maintenance Side by Side
The Stokke Clikk is built for the realities of mealtimes. Its integrated tray is dishwasher-safe, its smooth plastic surfaces wipe clean in seconds, and the harness is machine washable. The entire chair disassembles for a thorough cleaning when needed. The Stokke Tripp Trapp's solid wood construction requires more careful maintenance. Food can collect in the wood grain and around accessories, and the wooden seat cannot be machine-washed. The Tripp Trapp cushion, sold separately, is machine washable. For families who prioritize low-effort cleanup during the high-chair years, the Clikk offers a meaningful practical advantage.
Customization, Color, and Accessories
The Stokke Tripp Trapp offers the widest range of colors and finishes of the two chairs — natural, oak, and multiple painted options — alongside an extensive accessory ecosystem, including the Newborn Set, Baby Set, Extended Gliders, Cushion, and Tray. This breadth of customization is a key reason the Tripp Trapp transitions gracefully through different life stages and home décors. The Stokke Clikk comes in several colors and includes the Baby Set and tray, so it requires fewer additional accessories. Both are available through Kido Bébé's curated Stokke selection.
Which Chair Is Right for Your Family?
Choose the Stokke Tripp Trapp if you want a chair that serves from birth through childhood, plan to use it across more than one child, or value a broad accessory range and lifelong ergonomic support. Choose the Stokke Clikk if you want a lighter, more portable, easier-to-clean chair that delivers everything you need for the dedicated high chair phase without a long-term commitment. If you are still weighing both options, the Kido Bébé team can demonstrate each chair in person at our Montreal boutique, 4100 Boulevard Thimens, Saint-Laurent. No appointment is needed.

Foire aux questions
Is the Stokke Clikk suitable from birth?
No. The Stokke Clikk requires the child to sit unassisted, which typically occurs around 6 months of age. It is not designed for newborn use. The Stokke Tripp Trapp, by contrast, can be used from birth with the separately sold Newborn Set accessory, which supports a newborn at table height in a reclined position. Families who want to bring a newborn to the table from day one will need the Tripp Trapp with the Newborn Set — the Clikk cannot fulfill this role, regardless of accessories.
Which Stokke high chair is easier to clean?
The Stokke Clikk is the easiest chair to clean. Its integrated tray is dishwasher-safe, the harness is machine washable, and the smooth plastic surfaces take seconds to wipe down after meals. The entire chair disassembles for a deeper clean when needed. The Stokke Tripp Trapp's solid-wood construction requires more careful handling — food can lodge in the wood grain and around the accessories — and the wooden seat cannot go in the dishwasher or washing machine. For parents who prioritize fast, low-effort cleanup during the active mealtime years, the Clikk has a clear advantage.
How long can you use each Stokke high chair?
The Stokke Clikk is designed for use from approximately 6 months to 3 years, or up to 33 lbs — covering the full dedicated high chair phase. The Stokke Tripp Trapp is designed for lifelong use, beginning from birth with the optional Newborn Set and continuing through childhood and into adulthood. The Tripp Trapp's extended lifespan makes it a stronger long-term investment, particularly for families planning to use the chair across more than one child. The Clikk delivers precisely what most families need during the high-chair years without the longer commitment.
What is the weight and footprint difference between the Clikk and Tripp Trapp?
The Stokke Clikk weighs approximately 3.6 kg (8 lbs), making it easy to move between rooms or pack for travel. Its footprint is wider than the Tripp Trapp's. The Stokke Tripp Trapp is heavier due to its solid-wood construction, but it has a narrower footprint of approximately 19 inches in depth, making it better suited to compact dining spaces. If your priority is portability and room-to-room flexibility, the Clikk is the more practical option. If your dining area is tight on floor space, the Tripp Trapp's narrower profile is worth noting.

Yes. Both the Stokke Clikk and the Stokke Tripp Trapp are available to view and compare in person at Kido Bébé's Montreal boutique, located at 4100 Boulevard Thimens, Saint-Laurent. As an authorized Stokke retailer, our team can demonstrate both chairs, walk you through the available accessory configurations, and help you choose the right setup for your family's needs and home.
