At Tilda’s funeral we asked family to share their memories

Of our beautiful baby girl

My aunty and uncle remembered Tilda in her Bumbo seat

In the centre of our table while we ate

Like a plant pot

A very pretty plant pot

She often sat in that Bumbo

So we knew Bea never would

Tilda also used to sit in her bouncer

On the breakfast table

Something we would not repeat with Bea

Something we did not need to repeat with Bea

Thanks to the Stokke Steps Modular Highchair

The Stokke Steps System is a transformable children’s chair

It changes with a child’s growing needs

It adapts to fit different stages of family life

From newborn to weaning and beyond

We started using our Stokke Steps when Bea was around two months old

This is an incredibly clever and well designed highchair

It is suitable from birth and grows with your baby through childhood

The chair starts life with a newborn baby in bouncer formation

The Stokke bouncer can be used alone as a luxurious traditional bouncer

Or can be attached to the Steps highchair to bring baby to the table

Bea is just now at 9 weeks starting to enjoy sitting in the chair

And being part of our family meal times

She is beginning to have that fascination babies have

With people eating food

The Stokke Steps bouncer means Bea can be with us at the table

It also means she can sit in the kitchen while I do chores

At a height where she can see what is going on

We have not used the Stokke set loads

But I think it is about to become one of our most used baby items

As Bea becomes more and more alert

And finds her place in the family

Well, I was right

From two months on we have used the Steps system daily

Having Bea with us at the table for meal times and for play

Has been wonderful

We have been able to interact with her much more

Than if she had been in a bouncer on the floor

And we have been free to all eat at the same time

Without one of us always having a baby in our arms

The bouncer seems very comfortable for baby

When on the high chair frame

It is very steep

And we were grateful for the thick straps and solid plastic buckle

That make up the safety harness

For Bea the angle of the bouncer meant

That she was always mobile

Building strength and developing balance

Both if which helped to ease and improve her torticollis

Bea started sitting independently on New Years Day

Before she turned 5 months

We sat her up in the Stokke Steps High Chair

Using the padded baby seat set

A little before this

She loved being able to sit up and play

And it meant she could be even closer to us

And the family table

The large tray for the Stokke Steps

Is great for accommodating lots of toys

It also provides a perfect platform for messy and sensory play

And an easy to clean surface for all adventures in weaning

We chose to remove the padded baby set at 6 months

When Bea’s weaning journey began

Bea’s very messy exploration of food!

The Stokke Steps highchair

Is perfect for growing babies

The seat looks great in the home

It is easy to clean

It has a secure safety harness

And can be adjusted in height and depth as your baby grows

For the first few months we did not strap Bea into the chair

Until we found her doing this!

The Stokke Steps is a large high chair

And it cannot be folded flat for storage

This needs to fit your home as a permanent piece of furniture

If you do have the room the Steps system looks great

And comes in a range of styles and colour ways

The Stokke Steps is an investment

A commitment

And it is not cheap to buy

But it is used every day

For meal times and play times

It can be used with the bouncer from birth

And with the baby seat from around 5 months

We are loving watching Bea grow

Taking steps toward toddlerdom

With The Stokke Steps System

Since Bea has started weaning

The Steps has really been value for money

It is so easy to clean

The tray and foot rest catch much of the food that Bea tries hard to throw on the floor

She is happy and comfortable in the seat through family meal times

I am looking forward to soon taking the tray off

And Bea truly joining the rest of us at the table

Still secure in the plastic seat

This is a chair that lasts a childhood

Step by Stokke Step

Meeting needs every step of the way

And looking rather fabulous while doing so
