What adjustments should I make when installing the Food Catcher with the Stokke Tripp Trapp or equivalent 2-legged type high chair?

There are a few ways to set the food catcher up on the Stokke Tripp Trapp.

Firstly the 2 steps (seat + footrest) should be setup nearer to the top of the stokke configuration otherwise the food catcher will be too short to go all the way under the bottom foot rest.

Option 1 - Attach it to the back of the Stokke and front to the tray attachment. See video for details.

Option 2 - Attach the back of the food catcher to the bottom of the seat rest on the Stokke and attach the Stokke legs to the back velcro fasteners on the food catcher. Then either attach the front of the catcher to the Stokke tray, OR attach the front of the food catcher to the table in front of where you use the Stokke high chair. 

It is recommended to keep the back holes closed when attaching it to the tray and wrap the front ones round the legs. If there is no tray, then it is recommended to close the front holes and wrap the back ones round the leg. The front part of the food catcher would then be secured under the dining table with the adhesive fasteners.

Silicone Ware FAQs

How do I get better stick with my suction plate or bowl?

Make sure the surface to which you are attaching it is clean and does not have a greasy residue. Wet wipes also leave a residue that limits suction success. The suction part of the plate also needs to be free from residue.

When placing the base onto the surface press from the middle and then the edges to ensure the whole suction base is in contact with the surface. Sometimes a slightly dampened surface helps with the suction.

The suction depends on the condition and material of the surface. It may not stick to damaged or uneven surfaces or rough, unsealed porous surfaces. Sometimes these two just don’t go together.

Why does my silicone ware have an orange residue that is so difficult to remove?

Most orange-coloured food such as pureed carrot contains oil residue that sticks to the silicone ware. It can take a few washes to remove. Don't worry, this is natural for all silicone products and does not affect safety of our products.

Try soaking your silicone ware in lemon juice or bicarbonate of soda before washing as this helps break down the oil residue, ensuring your silicone products stay in top-notch condition. Washing your products in the dishwasher also aids the cleaning process.

Can you place your silicone ware in the dishwasher?

Yes, all our silicone products can endure temperatures of up to 230°C (446°F) and can be placed in the dishwasher after every use.

Can you place your silicone ware in the microwave?

Yes, all our silicone products are safe to use in the microwave up to temperatures of 230°C (446°F).

Can you place your silicone ware in the oven?

Yes, all our silicone products are safe to use in the oven up to temperatures of 230°C (446°F).
