One of the reasons we love the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair was because it doesn't have a tray; the kid sits right at the table and eats and plays along with the family. It's a dynamic that works well for us, but there are definitely folks who prefer to give a kid a little space of his own. Unfortunately for them, Stokke doesn't offer a tray for the Tripp Trapp, but with 35+ years of Tripp Trapps in the dining rooms of Europe, a few companies have stepped in with aftermarket options.
DT reader Melanie has been keeping me up-to-date on their tryout of the translucent plastic Play Tray from the Danish company, 4mykid. Her verdict: it's "worth every kroner." [Though to be clear, those kroners and euros are probably feeling a bit cheaper to someone spending their newly powerful Candian Dollars.]
For folks stuck with American money, EUR54 - VAT +shipping might seem a little steep. But I seem to remember a wooden tray that used to turn up on eBay.de for like EUR5-10, a big crescent-shaped thing cut from a sheet of matching birch plywood. Didn't have the handy spill-containing lip of the Play Tray, but what do you want for five euros? Aha, there it is, the Clic Clac Tisch fur Stokke Tripp Trapp. Sehr schoen.

Does the Clic Clac fit all Stokke Tripp Trapp chairs? Even the new North American version?
[good question, the dimensions of the chair itself should be the same; the only difference would be the straps and the slots for them. -ed.]
Is the Clic Clac just held in place by gravity? Couldn't one just rip one of these from a nice sheet of ply?

[one could, if one has a ply ripper. I think there are straps that hold it onto the vertical supports, but otherwise, it just slots down onto them. -ed.]
I'm in the US, is there a website I can purchase a tray from?

any idea if either of the trays fit the stokke 2009 tripp trapp highchair or if there is a website in english to order from?
I have just read the article about the plastic tripp trapp tray,
even though it looks ok its still a bit plastic and does not look right on a timber tripp trapp unlike the clic clac or even the sloppi from kidzmix.co.uk these tray are both made of the same material as Stokke's tripp trapp.
I am suprised that you have no picture of the sloppi?
