Introducing Stokke® Yoga™: A New Standard in Baby Comfort The brand behind the iconic Tripp Trapp® chair is redefining baby bouncers and swings with the launch of Stokke® Yoga™. This innovative product seamlessly combines two essential motions in one—offering parents both a bouncer and a swing to soothe or engage their little ones, all in a single, thoughtfully designed unit.

Two Movements, One Unique Design Stokke® Yoga™ is the first of its kind, featuring dual-motion technology that enables both bouncing and swinging—all without a motor. Movement is initiated naturally by either the baby or caregiver, creating a gentle and comforting experience. Developed with input from physiotherapists, the design supports natural development while also keeping babies content and engaged.

The patent-pending motion is designed to stimulate the vestibular system, which plays a crucial role in balance and motor skills. Gentle movements such as swinging, bouncing, and rocking can help improve balance, provide soothing comfort, and support key developmental milestones like posture, sitting, crawling, and walking.

Designer Bianca Hanauer explains the concept behind this innovation: “Through conversations with families around the world, we discovered that babies benefit most from a combination of different movements. Their needs change depending on their development stage, mood, and age—so the motion must adapt accordingly.”

The Stokke® Yoga™ was rigorously tested, incorporating user feedback from key global markets, including the US, China, and Europe. This iterative approach ensured that every aspect of the design meets the practical needs of families, making it a truly versatile two-in-one product.

One parent involved in product testing shared, “I love the bouncing motion because it keeps my baby engaged, making playtime more interactive. My partner, however, prefers the swing function because it’s so soothing.”

Designed for Everyday Family Life Beyond its innovative movement, Stokke® Yoga™ boasts a premium, user-friendly design tailored for everyday convenience. The breathable mesh seat features a soft cotton top with a polyester underside to release heat, ensuring babies stay cool and comfortable. The bouncer includes three recline positions to accommodate different development stages, a removable newborn cushion for added support, and a secure harness for safety. Suitable from birth up to 9 kg/20 lbs, it provides a nurturing space for infants from their earliest days.

Parents appreciate the ease of use, with one tester noting, “It’s incredibly simple to place my baby in the bouncer and fasten the buckle. The bouncing and swinging motions are effortless, smooth, and silent.”

Designed with practicality in mind, Stokke® Yoga™ assembles quickly with a straightforward snap-in pole system. It also folds flat for easy storage or travel, making it a convenient choice for modern families. The legs are crafted from high-quality FSC-certified European beechwood, the same durable material used for the beloved Tripp Trapp® chair.

The Closest Thing to Being in Your Arms Stokke® Yoga™ provides a safe and cozy space where babies can rest, play, and grow. By mimicking the natural motions parents use to soothe their infants, it offers both comfort and developmental benefits in one thoughtfully designed product.

As designer Bianca Hanauer explains, “Parents instinctively use movements that mimic natural patterns, like ocean waves or the swaying motion of the womb, to calm their newborns. Stokke® Yoga™ replicates these familiar movements, helping infants gradually learn how to bounce or swing themselves.”
