Best Highchair Accessories for Stokke Tripp Trapp (2026 Guide)
If you've invested in a Stokke Tripp Trapp, you already know it's one of the best highchairs on the market. It grows with your child, fits at the family table, and looks good in any kitchen. But when it comes to mealtime with a baby or toddler, the tray setup creates one very specific problem almost every Tripp Trapp parent hits: suction bowls and plates won't stay put.
This guide covers the Stokke Tripp Trapp accessories that actually make a difference, the ones that solve real mealtime problems rather than just adding more gear to the mix.
The one thing most Stokke Tripp Trapp parents don't know
The Stokke Tripp Trapp tray has a lightly textured surface. This is by design, giving the tray its premium look and feel. But that texture is exactly why suction products fail on it.
Suction works by creating an airtight seal against a smooth surface. On the Tripp Trapp tray, the texture means air slips underneath the bowl and breaks that seal. The result: bowls slide, plates lift, and food spills everywhere, no matter how good the suction product is.
This is not a product defect. It's a surface problem. And once you understand that, the fix is simple.
1. Suction Sticker for Stokke Tripp Trapp, the original fix
The Brightberry Suction Sticker for Stokke Tripp Trapp was invented specifically for this problem. It's a custom transparent vinyl sticker that adheres directly to the Tripp Trapp tray, creating a perfectly smooth surface for suction bowls and plates to grip.
It was the first product of its kind, designed in Australia by Brightberry founders Mateya and Uros, two industrial designers who spent over a year researching and developing a solution after customers struggled to use their suction bowls reliably on textured trays.
How it works:
- Peel and press the sticker flat onto the Tripp Trapp tray
- Place any suction bowl or plate on top
- Press firmly in the centre of the bowl to activate suction
- Done, it holds
Easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and designed to last for months with daily use. Avoid the dishwasher as the heat will cause it to peel off.
This is a single-use adhesive. Once removed, it won't reapply reliably, so many families keep a 2-Pack so a replacement is always ready.

Available in: Single, 2-Pack, and 6-Pack (6-Pack is the best value if you have multiple children or want a spare)

2. Silicone Placemat for Stokke Tripp Trapp
If you prefer to skip the bowls and lates entirely and serve food directly on a surface, the Brightberry Silicone Placemat for Stokke Tripp Trapp is designed to fit the Tripp Trapp tray precisely. It's particularly popular with parents following baby-led weaning, where food is placed directly in front of the baby to explore and self-feed.
It creates a food-safe surface for serving food directly on the tray, making it particularly popular with parents following baby-led weaning. Dishwasher safe and easy to clean. Note: the Tripp Trapp tray's textured surface affects placemats the same way it affects suction bowls. For the placemat to stay in place, you need the Suction Sticker underneath it first.
Made from 100% platinum silicone, no fillers, no plastic.
Available in: Sage, Coral, Pacific

3. A suction bowl that actually works with the suction sticker
Once you've solved the surface problem with a suction sticker, the bowl itself matters too. You want one that's easy for small hands to scoop from independently.
The Brightberry Suction Bowl is designed with an inward-curved wall that guides food back onto the spoon as babies scoop. This makes self-feeding easier and significantly reduces the amount of food that ends up on the tray (or the floor).
Paired with the Suction Sticker, it turns the Tripp Trapp into a genuinely self-feeding setup.
Available as the Bowl Only or as the Suction Bowl & Two Spoons Set, the set is the better starting point for babies just beginning solids.
What to look for in Stokke Tripp Trapp accessories
Not all highchair accessories are compatible with the Tripp Trapp. Here's what to check before buying:
Surface compatibility. The Tripp Trapp tray's textured surface means standard suction products won't grip. The fix is a suction sticker as a base layer.
Tray dimensions. The Tripp Trapp tray is relatively compact at 37 x 17.5 cm. Not everything fits. Always check dimensions before buying. Brightberry's Suction Bowl and Easy Scooping Plate are sized to fit the tray correctly.
Food safety. Always check for platinum silicone over standard silicone, it's purer, more durable, and holds up better to repeated dishwasher cycles. Avoid products with added fillers (a quick pinch test helps: if the silicone whitens when you pinch and twist, it contains filler).
Ease of cleaning. The Tripp Trapp setup means everything on the tray is in your baby's reach. Go for dishwasher-safe materials and avoid accessories with crevices that trap food.
Frequently asked questions
Do suction bowls work on the Stokke Tripp Trapp tray?
Not directly. The Tripp Trapp tray has a textured surface that prevents suction products from sealing properly. The fix is to place a Brightberry Suction Sticker on the tray first; this creates the smooth surface that suction needs to work. Read more about why suction bowls don't work on the Tripp Trapp tray.
Which suction sticker fits the Stokke Tripp Trapp?
The Brightberry Suction Sticker for Stokke Tripp Trapp is designed specifically for this tray. It's the original product in this category, invented in Australia. It fits the Tripp Trapp tray and works with any suction bowl or plate that has a standard flat suction base.
Can I use a regular placemat on the Stokke Tripp Trapp?
Standard placemats are too large for the Tripp Trapp tray and won't sit flat. The Brightberry Silicone Placemat is shaped to fit the Tripp Trapp tray specifically.
At what age can I start using a suction bowl on the Tripp Trapp?
From around 6 months, when you introduce solids. The Brightberry Suction Bowl is designed to support self-feeding from first foods through to toddler age.
Is the Brightberry Suction Sticker safe?
Yes. It leaves no residue on the tray and can be removed without damaging the plastic surface.
The honest summary
The Stokke Tripp Trapp is worth every cent, but it needs one small fix before it actually works for mealtime. The suction sticker solves the surface problem that no other accessory addresses. Everything else, the placemat, the bowl, builds on top of that foundation.
If you're setting up a Tripp Trapp for a baby starting solids, start with the suction sticker. It's the single most practical thing you can add.
