The best place to start is the floor, with a tape measure. If you can leave a chair at your dining table, the Stokke Tripp Trapp gives you an adjustable seat and footplate in a piece of furniture you can keep using as your child grows. If you need the floor clear after meals, the Peg Perego Siesta folds and gives you a tray as part of the chair. It takes more room when open, so check both where you plan to use it and where you plan to put it away.
What comes with each chair?
The Storm Grey Tripp Trapp offer is for the chair itself. Stokke lists the chair alone from age three. For the high-chair stage, check that your purchase includes the compatible Baby Set, restraint and Extended Gliders specified in the U.S. chair manual. If you want a tray as well, check for it separately. Stokke’s U.S. and Canadian compatibility guide shows why it helps to check the Baby Set version if you’re mixing a new chair with parts you already own.
The Ice Siesta comes with a removable double tray. Its North American manual describes nine seat heights, a five-position reclining backrest and a five-point harness. You can remove the tray for use at the table. Compare the complete setup you need for meals, especially if the chair-only Tripp Trapp and a bundle look similar in a listing.
Measure for a meal and for the cleanup afterward
For the Tripp Trapp, measure your tabletop and the clearance underneath it. Stokke specifies a table height of 72–76 cm (about 28–30 inches) and says the chair isn’t designed for a taller counter. Its seat and footplate adjust in height and depth. Allow room to pull the chair out and to walk past it when the rest of the family is seated.
For the Siesta, Peg Perego’s U.S. specifications list an open footprint of about 30 by 24 inches and a folded size of roughly 12 by 24 by 34 inches. Mark the open footprint with painter’s tape, then check the opening and floor space of the actual storage spot. The fold helps between meals. It still needs its full footprint at dinner.
What the independent reviewers found
In BabyGearLab’s high-chair comparison updated June 30, 2025, Wendy Schmitz and colleagues tried a Tripp Trapp bundle. They found it relatively compact among the chairs in their test and liked how it pulled up to the table. Those observations concern the tested setup. Use Stokke’s U.S. height guidance for your own table.
In a June 20, 2018 Siesta review, Juliet Spurrier and Lindsay Selig found the upholstery easy to wipe, though crumbs could collect in the folds around the seat. For the current model, Peg Perego’s manual specifies a dishwasher-safe top tray and directs readers to the care label for the seat cover. Think about which job you’ll repeat more often: clearing the floor or cleaning the creases around a padded seat.
Which one makes sense for you?
Choose the Tripp Trapp if your child will usually eat at the family table, you have space to leave the chair out, and you want to adjust the seat and footplate as they grow. Price the full set of parts you’ll need for the stage you’re buying for. Choose the Siesta if you want the included tray and will regularly fold the chair between meals. If the open footprint crowds your table, look at other options in our high-chair buying guide even if the folded size works.
How we researched this comparison. This is a research-based comparison. Fresh Baby Gear has not tested either chair hands-on. We compared U.S. manufacturer information, the North American manuals, original independent tests and U.S. recall records. Our November 7, 2026 CPSC recall search found no matching notice for either exact chair. The CPSC notices for Stokke Clikk and Peg Perego Tatamia cover different models. A 2019 Health Canada recall concerns certain separately sold Newborn Sets. If you have a used chair or a separately sold attachment, look it up by its own label and follow its manual.
