Tripp Trapp High Chair or other Highchair Options.

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.

What should we do about this when we go to restaurants?. I would love to get her all the way up to be able to eat comfortably and be a part of the conversation, not just under the table. We would need to find something for both chairs and booths that could be adjustable given that at each different location the height are really different and not really known. We have tried the boosters that they provide and that usually only brings her high enough for us to only see the very top of her hair, or for her to be able to barely see over the table when she stretches up as high as she can, and in booth she still isn’t close enough.

The ideal highchair that we are looking for at home would be one that is able to slide under the table a little while also having a seat high enough so Clara can sit right up at the table and rest her feet in the highchair and eat from her plate. We can help her with everything else that is too far for her to reach, but at least she would be able to reach her plate nice and comfortable. also if there was a latter for her to climb up by herself. We could modify the existing ladder on the backside and switch out the handles for much smaller ones and even add a couple lower so she can be able to reach them. Unlike a traditional baby/toddlers highchair which only brings them up high to the table but they are still sitting pretty far back because they are being helped with feeding and other things. What would you dads recement?
We have been using the Stokke Tripp Trapp ever since my son was a baby. You can change the height of the seat as they grow up. We started with the baby set etc and now that my son is 6 (we took out the table and the baby seat..) , he is still using it as a dining chair with us. It is a very good, sturdy and useful accessory for babies/kids.
@Clarashelper I just ask for a child seat and most of the time they have it 🤷🏻‍♀

@BloviatingBuffoon but they aren’t going to have a child seat for someone who is smaller than a newborn. The high chairs almost would work but I’m looking for something more specifically that she can climb up into herself and that would also bring her close enough to the table. She needs to be right up to the table to reach your plate and with a highchair they are really meant for babies and toddlers don’t need to be right up at the table as they get help feeding
@Clarashelper I’m so 😞 sorry yours is a special case. maybe there are some portable chair seats like a clip on but ofcourse you have to help her get on it. We honestly didn’t even bother with special chairs as soon as my son was more mobile and independent enough to sit. We have been dining out with him eversince he was born and as soon as he can sit upright, he just sat in a normal dining chair. 🤷🏻‍♀ we rarely ask for a kiddie chair.

@Ynotisay That's the part I've never understood, what do they gain posting things like this, get out of it.

@ruhbekuh I don't get it either. I understand if people have kinks but it's the veil of passing them off as real that I don't get. Particularly when they're trying to engage others under a false premise. That's messed up. It's taking advantage of people's good will to help. Screw that.
