Caring for the proper psychophysical development of a child keeps every parent awake at night. To provide your toddler with support in this process, it is necessary to have knowledge about developing healthy habits from the very beginning of his life.

The iconic Tripp Trapp chair, designed in 1972, is not only a piece of furniture helpful when expanding your diet. First of all, it is one of the few layette essentials that accompanies a child from birth to adulthood, and at the same time is characterized by a timeless, award-winning design! Moreover, for almost 50 years, thousands of parents around the world have been emphasizing that they would not exchange the Tripp Trapp highchair for anything else and that it is one of the best investments.

When and why is it worth getting your toddler used to sitting at the same table?

The development and disposition of a child is an individual matter. However, it is certain that every child values ​​the closeness of their parents above all else and is much calmer when they feel their presence and can follow them with their eyes.

Thanks to the newborn set, the Tripp Trapp highchair can be used by the baby from the first days of life and will greatly facilitate many everyday activities for the parents. The child stays in a safe position at the height of the table, which means that from the very beginning he participates in family life, accompanies his mother in the kitchen, or observes his parents and siblings during meals, learning many behaviors at the same time and observing the household members with interest.

The next important stage in a baby's life is the time to expand the diet to include solid meals and the ability to sit stably. Then the Tripp Trapp highchair together with the Baby Set turns into the healthiest and safest first chair for our child.

When the moment finally comes when the child learns new tastes and his diet is expanded, it is worth accustoming the toddler to eating at the family table and celebrating shared meals. Creating comfortable, safe and appropriate sitting conditions for a small child is extremely important. It expands the spectrum of activities and new activities that we can teach our toddler, and also supports the emotional and physical development of a young person. Eating together at the table is not only about convenience while feeding, but above all an accelerated, practical course in self-feeding for the baby, who learns by seeing and imitating other household members. It is also an opportunity to strengthen family ties and build a child's sense of belonging to a community of close and loving people from an early age.

An essential element for shaping the child's correct posture during play, improving various manual skills and feeding/eating while sitting - is, of course, a chair. In such early childhood, the skeleton is still very flexible and changes from day to day - that is why it is so important to take care of the child's healthy posture during meals. In this respect, the Tripp Trapp highchair will do a great job!

Correct posture of a child while eating, i.e. controlled (r)evolution

The change in the baby's position and posture, in which it is fed and then eats independently, is very dynamic in the first year after birth. It is easy to see that from the almost horizontal position of the newborn, and after some time to the semi-reclined position in which the child takes liquid meals (milk), this posture gradually becomes vertical - up to a normal - sitting position.

When we are dealing with a larger, sitting child, it is very important that the child has his or her feet resting on a footrest and the pelvis is in an intermediate position. This posture is best when eating solid foods - it provides good stability for the torso and pelvis, and at the same time - optimal conditions for the chewing apparatus and motor coordination. The leg support also allows for unrestricted movements and maneuvering of the upper body - which is necessary when the baby reaches for a plate or bowl on its own. Certainly, few people are aware that the lack of support for a baby's feet may lead to their permanent deformation. Incorrect sitting posture while taking a meal contributes to incorrect functioning of the diaphragm, which may cause difficulties in chewing and swallowing, and consequently even choking. A key aspect in shaping a healthy posture of our child is also proper support and stabilization of the spine, which should be the task of a well-fitting and contoured chair backrest.

What features should an ideal baby chair have?

Taking into account the above recommendations, the most important thing seems to be the appropriate support profile for the back and legs, as well as the height, which will provide the child with natural and unrestricted maneuverability while eating at the table. The Tripp Trapp highchair meets all these criteria, and at the same time it is safe, stable, easy to clean, and made of natural, durable materials. In order to ensure the best comfort for your baby, the seat depth should be from 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of his thigh.
