I love the STOKKE
chair
I wanted to send my highest
praise to your company for developing the STOKKE
high chair. My 2 1/2 year old has been using hers since she
was 1 and absolutely loves it. I love that she has developed
excellent table manners and posture due to this chair. I have just
ordered one for our 6-month old, and am so excited she will be
sharing the table with us rather than having to use a plastic tray
far away from the dinner the rest of us are sharing. THANKS SO
MUCH!!!

Why oh why didn't I
buy one earlier???
The Tripp Trapp is very
comfortable even without the cushion. My son does not attempt to
get up until he's done eating. He feels like a big boy sitting in
it and acts appropriately. The most amazing thing is that the good
table time behavior has also transformed his behavior at
restaurants in their highchairs. I've been getting complements on
how good he is from everyone and I am shocked quite frankly. Until
the Tripp Trapp arrived, I spent every second of our eating out
meals catching stuff that he was flinging off the table. While he
was always quiet, I hated the meals and only put myself through
that ordeal on rare occasions.
I think that this is the
best thing to happen to our household since we've started feeding
our son table food. I would buy it again and intend to do so
whenever we have a second kiddo. Who knew that you can engineer
out horrible table manners in a child by making them feel like a
big kid?!?!?!?! I am truly amazed and thankful.

"...We got the high
chair this week and it is fabulous. My older son, who's 2
&1/2, sat in it and said "It is so comfy." I have to
tell you it has brought us all back to the table and I even think
the kids are eating better because of the community feel of the
meal."

I just ordered the Tripp
Trapp from one of the online retailers and am so excited! I
saw the chair at a MetroMoms event in Dallas and knew I had to buy
one as soon as my baby started solids. Thank you for making such a
stylish chair!!!

"The latest generation
of strollers offers great maneuverability, light weight and
stylish good looks. For parents who want it all, the Stokke Xplory
is our pick for the ultimate Manhattan playground accessory."
"The
clear winner in our tests was the superbly designed Xplory. Every
aspect of this moon buggy like gadget wast thought out with great
attention to detail. The stroller is easy to maneuver around city
streets and converts from a bassinet to a sit-up stroller with a
few easy steps. Build quality is excellent as the frame doesn't
sag or squeak when pushed, unlike other models, and gives the
impression it will last for a very long tiem. Parents know that
good stroller suspension is neccessary to keep babies asleep and
the Xplory earned our respect in this category. Even on their
roughest of pavement, it provided a smooth ride. The Xplory is
also quite the looker, we received oohs and ahs when walking down
SoHo streets. But the highlight of the Xplory is also what makes
it look different from every other stroller on the market--the
height of the seat. The Xplory brings the child up higher. The
company says that this enhances eye contact between infant and
parent and improves bonding. The height is also a critically
important feature on New York City streets, keeping the baby
safety away from dogs and car fumes. For the height feature alone,
we would recommend the Xplory, but it also earned a wide variety
of other superlatives during our test run that make it a natural
for any New York parent looking to buy a high-end stroller."

I had been wanting the
Xplory for a while- I even spoke to the local store owner about
taking up an account with you (which she has - thanks to me!)
Well- I finally convinced my husband to buy the Xplory- and WOAH
am I impressed- I own quite a few strollers - mountain buggy,
bugaboo(which I have gotten rid of to buy the xplory), maclaren-double
and single, silver cross, inglesina - 3 models, bertini . Others
that I have test driven/borrowed include the quinny , peg perego
so as you guess I am quite the expert on strollers and I am the
one everyone calls for recommendations... the xplory has come to
the top of my list and this is one that I will never let out of my
collection as I use it pretty exclusively now-
The ride is awesome, the ability to take it up and down stairs
safely is imeasurable as my house is elevated, I love that my baby
is so close- I do not have to bend down to give her a snack or
comfort her- (my physical therapist might start wondering where I
am as there is alot less strain on my back and neck now that I am
not bending to reach my baby) My kids really feel a part of the
action up there- they can see all the animal at the zoo, they
don't have to be taken out if we stop to dine, even in the market
or any store they are happier.
I live on long Island and walk everywhere locally and I have taken
the xplory to NYC on the railroad- where people have run after me
to ask about the xplory -(a group of people even snapped pictures-
I like to think it was because my baby is adorable but I believe
it was more a factor of the carrigae being so cool!)
I did have a problem with my carriage and your company took care
of it in a flash- the price is definitely high but coming from
someone who spent a similar amount on the bugaboo cameleon I have
to tell you there is no comparison in the quality! I was so happy
to be rid of the bugaboo and purchase the xplory!
The only problem is-- I have a two year old and an 11 month old
and when we go out and one of them gets the xplory and the other
has to go in one of the other strollers- there is an all out
screaming match- both want the xplory - my two year old calls it
his rocket- and says he needs to go in the rocket carriage! and my
11 month old just cries and scampers over to the xplory as we
prepare to leave!
your product is amazing- now I just need luck trying to figure out
how to convince my husband we need another one!
I am happy to have joined the Stokke family!

I cannot walk five minutes
in the mall without someone either saying something to me about
the stroller or hearing people talk to each other about it. It's a
big hit! In fact, my sister is already asking for one and she
doesn't even have kids :)
I swear, this stroller is a
big hit. I have had many take pictures of it, many who have said
they would have another kid just to use this stroller! We were at
a Mexican restaraunt in Alpharetta on Cinco De Mayo (May 5) and
everyone voted us as having the best stroller in Alpharetta. We
went to the Walk for Autism and the Taste of Alpharetta over the
last week and the enthusiasm and interest about the stroller only
seems to grow. We love it and are happy to tell people about this
wonderful product.

We love ours too. I do agree
that the base is heavy to lift into the car and the footrest needs
to be rethought, but there is TONS of room in the shopping
bag and you can get clips to be able to hang bags off the
handle.
Oh, and the reviewer forgot to mention one major feature: the
ability to flip the wheels into handtruck mode to go up and down
stairs. This is absolutely priceless and allows me to take the
subway without needing help. Granted, it's heavy to pull up more
than one flight of stairs, but going down is a breeze. No other
stroller does this, except for the Phil and Teds model, which only
has 2 wheels.
I agree that it costs a lot
of money, but for something you'll use daily for years it's worth
it. And it's a much better value than the Bugaboo which doesn't
have any of the Xplory's
special featured.

I know the price seems steep
but to be perfectly honest I LOVE THIS STROLLER. I fill up the Stokke
Baby Bag with all the essentials and find that if I need to, I
can pack the rest into the shopping
bag.
I live in New York City so I'm not a fan of those SUV-style
strollers that take up half the sidewalk. And since its so
metropolitan in NYC, I love that I can face my daughter towards
me. It makes me feel a lot more secure.
On top of everything is the amazing manueverability. I can turn it
with one finger!!! I am a huge fan of all
things Stokke (I have the Sleepi,
the Tripp
Trapp, and the Stokke
Care changing table) While I did spend more than the average
mom, the items I bought will be in my daughter's use long after
she's walking and talking.
Much love to the Xplory!!!
A definite yes from me :)

I own an Xplory
and while I agree it's a big expense and a funny looking stroller
it is the best purchase we've made for our daughter hands down. It
is the only stroller I have and I adore it! I've clipped a skip
hop diaper bag
onto it for extra storage. You can turn the seat around without
removing the foot rest also, just make sure the foot rest is
pulled out then it will slide over the handle. I take ours grocery
shopping, that front
bag is deceptive. I can fit a 10 pound bag of rice in there
along with milk and a bag or two of groceries. I just have my
daughter facing me so it has a little extra room. I prefer it over
the Bugaboo we owned simply because it's not tippy!

The Stokke may look weird -
but if you are looking at the pushchair (stroller) from a baby's
perspective it is great. It takes a little while to get used to
putting it up and taking it down, it fits into a saloon (sedan)
car boot fairly easily.
The positives are that it
can be used as a high chair in restaurants - when no seats are
available. The seat can be forward and backward facing, so when
baby is young you can watch them and when older they can see what
is happening around them. It can be fully upright, seated or
reclined - so they can sleep easily, and on many occasions we have
used the Stokke to get him to go to sleep. There is plenty of
storage space in a
bag underneath. The wheels can be retracted so you can take
the pushchair (stroller) up and downstairs.
The best feature though is
that baby is much higher than any other pushchair (stroller). So
he is not fighting the shopping bags or looking at people's shoes
and legs but on the same level as everyone else - a great position
for them to see and explore the world.
The only downside is that if
you want to go for country walks then the Stokke is not great. Mud
gets stuck in wheels and it can be hard going because the centre
of gravity is higher than other pushchairs (strollers). Definitely
a pushchair (stroller) for town.

Stokke Sleepi crib
will not disappoint
Our Experiences with the
Stokke Sleepi
"We purchased this crib
on the Euro, which means that we paid more for it than we would
have had we purchased it here in the States. This crib isn't
cheap. We purchased the whole system, though...the Mini, the Keep,
the Care, the Sleepi, the mattress, and the extensions for the
crib. I understand that if you were to purchase here, just the
Sleepi, you would pay approximately $960.00. Some people may find
this realle expensive, but we looked at this furniture as
furniture for life. It would grow and expand with our child from
infancy through adulthood (when those two chairs would be in
place). For us, the price was worth it.
We loved the fact that this
Sleepi system grows from a crib to a toddler bed to a junior bed
to two half chairs (as long as you purchase the extension sets).
We also loved the look of this crib. The wood was absolutely
beautiful and so was the design. I loved the oval shape and clean,
rounded lines...
Our Bottom Line
The Stokke Sleepi Crib is a
beautiful, durable, and innovative crib that will last our family
for (hopefully) generations to come. I also love the fact that
this company is conscious of the environment and takes an active
role to protect our Earth.
Over these past seventeen
months, it has held up well and provided our son with a cozy,
spacious, and wonderful place to rest and relax. It is expensive,
which may turn away some people. But if you look at it as an
investment for a sleeping system for years to come, the price is
not that bad. If we ever have another baby, we will 100%
positively purchase another!"

LOVE IT
We bought this crib becasue
of the beautiful design and because my daughter's room was very
small. This crib is such a space saver and it looks amazing in the
nursery. We get compliments from friends and family all the time.
We have had this crib for a little over two years. We skipped the
mini, not necessary in my opinion. Also, my mattress setting is on
the lowest and I am 5'1 and have never had a problem lowering my
sleeping 30 lb, 2 year old! Hope this helps!

Elegant and charming
Love the aesthetics of a
simple, round natural wooden crib. Unusual and feels very open as
opposed to stuffy and overdone like many cribs. Isn't too hard to
assemble but helps to have 2 people. I would recommend larger size
(skip the mini; not necessary). Only drawback when mattress is on
lowest level hard for a short person (under 5'4") to lower
baby without a little drop or waking him/her up. The sides don't
open/drop down for ease of lowering child. Designer oval fitted
