Stokke Tripp Trapp 2 - Dangerous - Beware

Another video of James showing the dangers inherent in the design of the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair. This one has footrest in place. See how little effort it takes for him. He thinks it's hilarious, my stomach turns every time I see it. more:www.milkybaba.com - PS You can now get extended gliders for the Tripp Trapp, get them and use them!

PS: You are using a product that was made in 1979?? Seriously? Anyone else catch that?

[jamestripptrapp]

@bkejm Not sure what you're saying here. Do you mean it was designed in 1979? I bought it, in 2004, new in its box, with the baby set, the one which only allows the seat to be placed in the top slot, due to the fixed length of the leather crotch strap. Anyone else catch what?

[bkejm]

Read the instructions...you have the seat set too high for a child that age. Basic engineering people. And the seat is still on the same setting on your video when your child is 14 months old. You are also missing a key anti-tip piece. Great reading there dad.

[jamestripptrapp]

@bkejm You could try doing a little reading yourself, and spare me the patronising self-righteous gibberish. Read the rest of the thread, where I explain that Stokke denied there was an issue, yet released optional extended gliders in some markets later on. They agreed our setup was correct, yet you know better. Both videos made around the same time. The issue is indeed 'basic engineering people', the safety of the chair is directly related to the smoothness of the flooring, which is ludicrous.

[bkejm]

@jamestripptrapp You're kidding me right? One video is your child at 9 months. The other you state at 14 months. 2 of my 4 used this product. One is a Houdini. Neither ever managed to tip that sucker, EVER, of course mine was set up correctly and I'm sorry yours is NOT. If your 9 month old child is tipping the chair over (something that appears you encourage) then I would have suggested you buy yourself a NEW HIGH CHAIR. Use some common sense, spare me YOUR self righteous gibberish.

[jamestripptrapp]

@bkejm I though both vids were around the 14 months stage. I better re-check. As I said, the chair was set up correctly, verified with Stokke UK. WIth the baby set, you can only position the seat in the top slot due to the fixed length of the crotch strap. I did buy a new chair. As you correctly suggest, a different chair is the only way to keep the child safe. I know you love your chair, but a lot of people have had this issue, some resulting in injury. Just read this thread, or google it.

I noticed you did not install the plastic extension that is supposed to be attached to the legs to prevent it from tipping over, it comes with the package. Please try it with those installed before you making any claims because this video is showing just that your not following instructions and basically - YOUR FAULT! and ignorance.

Thank you! I was just about to purchase this chair for my baby. What do you suggest? It was a cool concept if that was not an issue! thanks!

[aliciahchang]

Thank you for posting the video. It baffles me that other parents could be so mean because they haven't had this problem, or because their kid was not mischievous/smart/restless/str­ong enough to push and tip the chair over. One of my kids did this too, the other didn't. Parents DID contact Stokke, and they created the extended gliders as a quick fix, and added text in the instructions warning of the tipping. The older models didn't have the gliders!!

[MsJanitka]

@bkejm Agree! It looks like he encourages the child to do that and the child thinks it's fun to do. This is wrong! Same as a Jobella said, this video just shows that he is not following instructions because not using extensions.

[MsJanitka]

@jobellea agree!

Como não vejo nenhum comentário em português, fica cá o meu:

Sou uma consumidora Stokke tripp trapp e este papá esqueceu-ce de instalar um calço que está incluso na caixa do baby set, calço este que alarga a base da cadeira e evita justamente situações perigosas como está do vídeo.

Tenho duas cadeiras destas conveniente montadas e posso garantir que é IMPOSSIVEL de acontecer este episódio.

cork floor?

[Mybigfan222]

Thank you for sharing this possible dangerous. It's really good to know.

si sempre meglio evitare e comprarne uno piu sicuro .....grazie del video

[mammaditobia]

E' ovvio che se metti i gommini per evitare che scivoli, può accadere questo. e non è vero che è così semplice, probabilmente il sedile è sbilanciato. ho 4 figli pestiferi e NESSUNO di loro si è mai fatto male in questo modo.
