What are your thoughts on the trip trap highchair?

Our daughter has a dwarfism and is 1’5” tall and 18 pounds. We are looking for something to know raise her all the way up to the table while also giving her the independence and ability to climb in and out of her chair by herself. She really needs a highchair to be up at the right height, but given that she is six years old we are trying to find something a little more age-appropriate that also gets her up high enough. Does anyone have any experience with the Tripp Teapp Hi dear would it be small enough for her to fit into, while also Raising her up high enough? We also need to keep in mind the steps up into the chair, and making sure that they are close enough together that she can reach them.

if you got a kitchen table bench you could anchor a booster seat to it and use pet stairs to allow her to get on the bench. (if a booster would be high enough)

@Penny the pet stairs would be a great option to help her get up to the bench, but even with a booster it wouldn’t bring her up high enough. We’ve tried a lot of different boosters and the only thing that raises her up high enough is something like a highchair, but she’s not a toddler, so I was trying to find something that i Gets her up high enough like a highchair, that isn’t babyish and I also allows her to get in and out of the chair herself. Also with something like a highchair it could be moved in to also bring her closer to the table so she can rest her arms on top

@Clarashelper maybe run the question by a carpenter who makes custom furniture and see if they could think of a solution?a high chair with little steps up to the back maybe and designed so she could climb over the back or side into the seat?

@Clarashelper

with little stairs somehow?

@Penny that would be a good idea. If we could somehow put a ladder on the back, we could put it close up to the table and with steps that are close enough together and small enough for her to wrap her hands around, that’s something to consider thank you. She is six years old though, see with a Tripp trapp highchair it doesn’t look like a traditional toddlers highchair. We’re also trying to keep her age in mind and get stuff that looks the part
