Do Suction Bowls Work on Stokke Tripp Trapp?

Are you a proud owner of the Stokke Tripp Trapp? Using suction bowls on the Tripp Trapp highchair can be challenging due to its textured tray surface, but we've curated a solution. This guide discusses what you need to get suction bowls to work on Stokke Tripp Trapp trays.

Why Suction Bowls Don't Stick to the Stokke Tripp Trapp

The Stokke Tripp Trapp tray's textured surface prevents plastic or silicone suction bowls from sticking properly because the small bumps let air in, breaking the seal needed for the suction to hold. Suction works best on smooth, flat surfaces where no air can get under the bowl.

The uneven texture of the tray surface breaks the vacuum seal required for suction, causing the bowls to slip. Bowls and plates can slide around without a proper seal, leading to spills and a frustrating mealtime experience.

Fortunately, our Brightberry team has solved this issue for parents.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your suction bowls aren't adhering correctly, ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry before applying them. Try these tips, like using a silicone suction sticker, to make your suction bowls stick securely.

  • Check for Air Pockets: Make sure no air is trapped under the sticker or the suction base.
  • Avoid Overfilling: Heavy bowls can break the seal more easily.
  • Keep the sticker Clean: Wipe down the sticker regularly to maintain optimal suction.
