When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Keine highchairs in Verbindung mit "stair" gefunden. Der deutsche Zusatz "Treppen-" bezieht sich offensichtlich auf die Einstellmöglichkeiten.
Der Hochstuhl Zii ist zwei in einem. Aus einem praktischen Hochstuhl aus hochwertigem Buchenholz wird später durch vielfältige Einstellmöglichkeiten ein formschöner und universeller Jugendstuhl für Jugendliche bis 50 kg.
Er überzeugt durch eine leichte und schnelle Montage und durch seine Designelemente, wie die hochgezogene und körpergerechte Rückenlehne oder seine formschön abgerundeten Kanten.
Das Ess- und Spielbrett ist stufenlos verstellbar.

Its the well-known brand name in english speaking countries and stands for that type of adjustable high chairs. Please note, that the main emphasis is on high chair. Tripp trapp specifies only this special type.

: Even though tripp trapp is a known brand (here in the US, we also have one), it's not used like Tesa, Teflon or Sharpie. Iguess, because they are expensive and not used by everyone

I added tripp trapp in parentheses for specification only. My proposal was high chair.

Redaktionelle Zusammenfassung von guenstiger.de:
Nur die mitwachsenden Hochstühle Stokke Tripp Trapp (Note: 1,6) und Moizi (1,8) wurden mit dem Qualitätsurteil „gut“ bewertet. Mit weitem Abstand folgt auf Platz drei die Tisch-Stuhl-Kombination Storchenmühle Happy Baby („befriedigend“, 3,0). Der Testsieger Stokke Tripp Trapp ist sehr haltbar und bietet sehr hohen Sitzkomfort für Kinder ab acht Monate. Der Stuhl ist zwar teuer, dafür bekommt man aber auch ein solide verarbeitetes Modell, das sich über viele Jahre nutzen lässt.
