The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other baby gear and nursery essentials we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Stokke is one of the most recognized names in the premium high chair segment, known for chairs that prioritize ergonomics, longevity, and aesthetics over feature lists. The model 720300 carries on that tradition with a solid wood build, a 187-pound capacity that effectively makes it a chair for life, and a 24-by-16.9-by-28-inch footprint that is narrower and slightly shorter than many conventional high chairs.
The 187-pound limit is unusually high in this product category and signals that the structural design is intended to last decades rather than a few toddler years. Families who have owned Stokke chairs often pass them down or resell them after years of use, which changes the effective cost calculation compared to chairs that are retired at age 3. At $349.00, the per-year cost of ownership depends heavily on how long the chair remains in service.
At 4.6 stars across 356 reviews, the Stokke 720300 performs consistently with how Stokke chairs have historically been received. The score reflects buyers who entered with premium expectations and found them met. The review pool is substantial enough to give the rating meaningful weight. The portable classification is notable given the wood construction, though at the dimensions listed it is more accurately described as relocatable than travel-ready.
Pros
- Solid wood construction with a 187-pound capacity supports use well into adulthood, not just the toddler years
- 4.6 stars across 356 reviews from buyers who typically compare it to other premium high chairs
- 16.9-inch width is narrower than many full-size chairs, fitting more naturally at a standard dining table
- Stokke's track record for durability makes resale value better than most high chairs
Cons
- At $349.00 it is one of the most expensive chairs in this category and carries a significant upfront cost
- Listed age range targets toddlers rather than newborns, so families will need a separate seat for the earliest months
- The compact height of 28 inches may not align with all dining table heights, so measuring table-to-chair clearance before ordering is advisable

Performance notes
Wood high chairs at this price tier from Stokke are known for a few specific design characteristics: a footrest that adjusts in height as the child grows to promote a 90-degree hip and knee angle (which supports better posture and focus during meals), and a seat height that adjusts to bring the child flush with the table rather than hovering above it on a separate tray. Based on the Stokke line and this model's category position, these features are likely present, though buyers should confirm the specific adjustment range in the product listing.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star rating from 356 reviews is a reliable signal of sustained buyer satisfaction rather than a short-term honeymoon effect. Stokke buyers at this price level tend to have done significant research before purchasing, which means the rating reflects informed expectations being met. Common themes in premium wooden high chair reviews include appreciation for the build quality, the longevity, and how the chair ages alongside the child. The $349.00 investment appears to be one most owners in this sample feel was worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Stokke 720300 work at standard dining table heights?
The chair measures 28 inches in height, which is shorter than many conventional high chairs. Stokke chairs are typically designed to pull up flush with the dining table at various height settings, which means the child sits as part of the family meal rather than at a separate tray station. Confirming the height adjustment range against your specific table height before ordering is a useful step.
Is the Stokke 720300 safe for babies under 12 months?
The listed age range targets toddlers, which generally means the chair is designed for children who can sit upright independently. For babies under 6 to 12 months who cannot yet support themselves, a reclining infant seat or bassinet is typically required. Some Stokke models support a newborn insert accessory that extends usability earlier, but whether that applies to model 720300 should be confirmed directly with the product listing.
