Quick answer

Choose a high chair tray that attaches securely to your chair, wipes clean in seconds, and fits your child's age and stage. The Stokke Tripp Trapp Tray is a great example for families using a Tripp Trapp Baby Set.

Attachment matters more than you think

A tray that clips directly onto the baby set or high chair is more stable than one that slides over the existing surface. It stays put during enthusiastic meals and is easier to remove for cleaning. The Stokke Tripp Trapp Tray, for example, clips onto the Baby Set2, giving a dedicated surface without pulling the chair up to the table.

Material and cleanup trade-offs

Most high chair trays are made of BPA-free plastic or silicone. Plastic trays are lightweight and wipe clean easily, but can scratch over time. Silicone trays are gentler on dishes and often dishwasher-safe, but may attract dust and lint. For quick daily cleanup, a wipe-clean plastic tray like the Stokke Tripp Trapp Tray is hard to beat.

Compatibility limits your options

Not every tray fits every chair. Some are designed for a specific brand or model, like the Stokke Tripp Trapp Tray which only works with the Tripp Trapp Baby Set2. Universal trays exist but may not be as secure. Always check compatibility before buying.

How to choose a high chair tray: decision rules

  • Check compatibility first: Confirm the tray fits your high chair model. For the Stokke Tripp Trapp, only the Tripp Trapp Tray works with the Baby Set2. Universal trays may not be as secure.
  • Prioritize easy-clean materials: Look for a tray that is labeled wipe-clean or BPA-free plastic. The Stokke Tripp Trapp Tray is easy to wipe clean after every meal, saving you time. If you prefer dishwasher-safe options, consider silicone trays, but be aware they may attract dust.
  • Consider your child's age: A tray is most useful once your baby starts solids (around 6 months). For newborns, a lounger set like the Stokke Tripp Trapp Newborn Set brings them to the table without a tray. Plan to buy a tray when your baby transitions to solid foods.

  • Stokke - Tripp Trapp Newborn Set Lounger - Anthracite: The Stokke Tripp Trapp Newborn Set brings your baby to the table from day one, creating a cozy, nest-like space that encourages eye contact and family connection during meals. If you have a newborn, this set lets you include them at the table from birth, but it does not include a feeding tray—so you'll need a separate tray later.
