I finally bit the bullet and got the Stokke Nomi high chair in White/Natural for my 8-month-old, and honestly? I wish I’d done it sooner. This thing is pretty incredible for helping with my little guy’s development. The way it’s designed actually encourages him to move around and explore during meals, which is kind of a game-changer compared to those restrictive plastic chairs everyone seems to have. I’ve noticed he sits up straighter in it too, which I’m told is good for his posture and all that developmental stuff.
What really sold me was how easy it is to adjust this chair. No tools needed whatsoever! I can change the seat height, depth, and that footrest thing in like 30 seconds flat. It’s super lightweight too—only about 10 pounds—so I’m constantly moving it from the dining room to the kitchen when we’re having breakfast. A weird but awesome feature? You can actually hang it on the edge of the table when you’re cleaning up. So convenient after those messy spaghetti nights!
The Baby Set that comes with it has been perfect for my son (it’s meant for 6-24 months). It’s got this secure harness that keeps him from trying his escape artist routine, which he was constantly pulling in our old chair.
I’m not usually one to care about designer stuff, but apparently this chair was created by some famous Norwegian designer named Peter Opsvik. All I know is it looks really nice in our dining room with that white seat and natural wood finish. It’s got this minimalist Scandinavian vibe that doesn’t scream “baby furniture” like most kid stuff does. My son is already trying to climb in and out by himself, which the pediatrician says is great for his confidence or whatever.
The best part? This thing is built to last forever. It can hold up to 330 pounds—way more than those flimsy plastic high chairs that fall apart after a year. The wooden part is European beechwood (fancy, right?), and the seat is this durable polypropylene that’s super easy to clean. I’ve already had to wipe up pureed carrots more times than I care to admit, and it still looks brand new.
To be fair, it’s a bit pricier than some other options, but when I think about how long we’ll use it, it’s actually not bad at all. My sister-in-law has had hers for 12 years—her teenager still uses it as a desk chair!
For anyone wondering about the specs, it’s about 23.5″ wide by 20.5″ deep and stands around 32.7″ high. Fits perfectly at our dining table. Oh, and all the materials are BPA-free and non-toxic, which gave me peace of mind since my little guy chews on everything these days.
