How to wash Stokke Tripp Trapp straps (2020 or newer) 

Thanks for the comment, do you mean you were able to pry off the white piece from the bucket seat?

@@redkulaT yep. It is meant to come apart, it's just not easy. There is a little clip, and you push in the "lip" (I don't know what to call it) and it pops off. You had the right idea, when you finally got the front piece off, there's the clip underneath. The plastic pieces just basically rest on the wood part of the chair. Obviously secured once in correctly

@@MrBizradley Thanks for the reply! I just took a look at the manual and it mentions on page 10 its not meant to be removed from the bucket seat/baby rail. Do you have the same model? www.stokke.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-stokke-master-catalog/default/dwa836b7fc/documents/309300%20TRIPP%20TRAPP%20Babyset%20US%20AU%20Userguide%20-%20WEB.pdf

Same - absolutely don't have to loosen the bolts to take those pieces off. And honestly, I find the straps are a pain to get out of the back of the seat, so I just fill a shallow bucket and let the straps sit in water (and if the seat parts get wet, that's fine). Easier to just not take them out.

@@CarolineLeeSmith yes, thank you. Agreed, they are a super pain to take off, it is achievable, but extremely difficult. But yes, seems a bit counterintuitive to have to loosen those bolts every go.

Literally what I came here to see. Ugh.

This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you!

Thank you for the tips! I'll try it out and see if I can re-record it

Ha! I have not...because I took the straps off 😂 but I did learn how to take it off without loosening the screws. I will aim to have something uploaded this summer. 🙂

Someone else below commented that you can remove the strap with a screwdriver but looking at the manual it mentions the bottom strap is not machine washable. I believe this is because the "springs" in the bottom strap are not water resistant. www.stokke.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-stokke-master-catalog/default/dwa836b7fc/documents/309300%20TRIPP%20TRAPP%20Babyset%20US%20AU%20Userguide%20-%20WEB.pdf

@@redkulaT I used two flat tipped screw drivers, one under the white clip and one to push the clip in from the seat structure. This damaged the clip though

Haha! Yes it was an obscure object, anything thin but sturdy enough would help of it gets stuck like it did for me. Thin wooden dowels or end of a lollipop might work too.

It does come off.

How?

@@MrBizradley yeah how does it come off???

@@theDanDeleon with some muscle. It is very difficult, assuming they made it difficult so a child can't do it. I had to use a flat head screw driver, but I got it off. If it's not fused with the other piece, or glued on, it comes apart. Just like removing the straps from the back piece. Bloody hell, that's difficult, but I use a forks prong to get it in the loop and pull it through the back. My gorilla fingers make it difficult as well. But after spaghetti, it needs a good cleaning, and I'd rather not put the plastic bit clunking around in the washing machine.

@@MrBizradley sounds too cumbersome for me. Although I do have muscles. Lol luckily, the center strap hasn’t been smelly at all! Now that we’ve had the chair for almost a year, I will say…it is actually one of the BEST purchases we’ve made! Lol I guess my original post needs to be updated.
