Stokke Tripp Trapp

Pup's grandma started talking about them needing to change their high-chair, because pup's rocking it to bits and pieces. Which is true. That made me thing that it wouldn't be a very bad idea for us to get one too, the Ikea Antiloop chair that's been great won't last him that much longer, chubby as he is. And I remember loving my Stokke when I was little, I think I used it until I started Kindergarten or something

Mother in law talked about buying a new one, so I checked out the prices... 169€ for the chair, then an additional 35€ for the bar and strap (it also included a back support and something for the feet) and probably the same for the cushions

So I placed an add in the newspaper for a used one. The result:

  

 The first one answering had a chair for 40€, but the strap was missing. It didn't bother me, the ones I remember seeing before in the paper was between 80€ and 120€ so I figured it'd be pretty crappy, but for that price I'd be willing to sand it down and repaint it.Turned out, it looked great. I'm happy.

The cushion I bought for a  few € at a flea market a while back, to have at mom's as backup in case pup messed up the one she have..

 Second to call had a well preserved chair for 70€. First I was "eew, that much..." then I had to laugh at myself, prior to buying #1 I would have thought this was a find =) So I took it. Funny thing is, it's well used, and being a darker color it shows easier, so as far as looks go, this one looks worse than the chair that cost half as much... Oh well, it's still 2 chairs for 110€, which is what some people want for one chair.

The cushion I made myself, last night and this morning.

These pictures I took with the alpha today, to please the crowds who's been begging for an update ;) (aka Misty)

I forgot the ixus at mom's place, so when I retrieve it I'll treat you to a really cool image of all three chairs (mine, the new one and the in law's) standing on a row. It was a pretty awesome sight
