How to pick a good used Tripp Trapp

[LAMom]

After reading all the glowing reviews, I decided to get a Tripp Trapp for my 15 month old. I checked our craigslist, and the prices range 100-285. Issues of wear and tear aside, what should I look for? Are there older vs newer models, or desired features?

We didn't get our TTs until DC were about 28 months (IIRC). We LOVE them and only wish we'd gotten them sooner. You are lucky if you have used ones available, in my area it is completely unheard of. One thing I will say from reading up on it is that the cushion seems to be unnecessary and just an extra bother.
The older model of TT is the Kinderzeat and has a 3 point harness, newer ones have a 5 point. My girls just turned 3 and we still LOVE having a harness. I can imagine them wiggling out of the 3 point, but I could be totally wrong. Beyond that, I guess it depends on if you want to get the baby seat or not.
We love our TTs!
