Product Description

Editorial Review

This is just smart. Despite it's overwhelmingly complicated name, the STOKKE KinderZeat, is a valuable transitional seating solution for kids who are too big (or think themselves too big) for a highchair but not yet ready for full-size kitchen chairs. Triangularly shaped, the chair features an adjustable seat and an adjustable foot rest so it can be tailored specifically to the needs of growing kids. The foot rest also functions as a sort of ladder rung so younger kids can climb up into the seat. What's remarkable about the KinderZeat, again besides the name, is how incredibly strong it is. The fact that it can withstand 300 pounds doesn't just mean Dad can jump up and down on it, it means that the chair can easily take all the punishment that high-impact kids routinely dish out. --Charlie Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars 27 Years old and still going strong, April 24, 2006

This chair is the one and only chair you will ever need for your child (or yourself). My mum bought the stokke chair 1979 when my little sister was on the way (she'll be a mum herself soon). this chair survived 27 years of constant use. It has never been in storage (since you can move the footrest up for a bigger seat, we used it later as a desk/spare chair). When my son was on the way in 1999 I took it with me to the states. Since then it moved four times and is currently owned by my 2 year old daughter. If I could add a picture I would. I just sanded it down and gave it a new clearcoat and it looks, well, like new.
I even was able to buy a new cushion for it. Buy it, love it and keep it for a long time to come. It is every penny worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars money well spent, December 30, 2005

I really wanted to try one of these chairs because my son was really miserable in his high chair and it looked so tacky at our table. Finally I bought one with much guilt over the price. I even lied to my husband and told him it was only $70.00!
Well, from day one it was a dream. My miserable high chair son was almost joyful over it and our dining experience changed instantly. I now have a daughter approaching 18 mos. and she's loved it for months now! They have to take turns with it! My husband loved it immediately and eventually I told him how much I'd paid. He didn't flip out at all. At that point he knew it had been worth every penny and is now encouraging me to get the second one as soon as possible. Summary: It is definately an initial investment that will pinch the pockets of many(including myself), but if you can do it, you will never regret it. It truly is worth the money.

We have two of these and LOVE THEM! They ARE expensive, BUT you can pretty much match your kitchen table with the same wood color (we got the cherry color) and the kids sit perfectly at the table. I have wonderful booster seats and the kind that attaches to your table, but I have pretty big kids for their age and it never seemed to be an exact match. With the kinderzeat, I can get their bottoms and their feet to perfectly match where they are supposed to be at the table. I have a 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old who was SUPER messy. I started looking for something like this because the super gross highchair scene was gettin a bit old. This seat was PERFECT. That 1 1/2 year old NEEDS TO BE BELTED in to whatever she's sitting on, and the seatbelt is nice on this...but not too obtrusive. The 3 year old likes to be belted (for security), but is so tidy she doesn't need it, and doesn't ask for it. What a great investment! I think I got them both on ebay (sorry amazon), but it was a little better deal. Anyway, I will be using these at least until the kids are 10 or so, so I am VERY VERY happy with this purchase.
