 Not done Wikipedia requires sources that are independent of the subject, not links to the company's product catalog. Also, Stokke's "About Us" pages does not mention the acquisition by NXMH. Further, don't remove other user's talk page comments. I've restored the prior "Updated History" with my comments on that version. If you choose to change this version, do so without removing my comments. (See talk page guidelines.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:49, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

This line of the article "The part of the company that manufactures ergonomic office chairs is now a separate entity called Varier Furniture." The source directed towards https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Varier_Furniture&action=edit&redlink=1 page does not exist. According to https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/stokke-acquires-world-renowned-brand-babyzen-and-its-iconic-yoyo-stroller-301440219.html Stokke as acquired the Babyzen for the YOYO strollers which I suggest should be included in the article. GarceCahill (talk) 13:58, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Partly done I added the acquisition of Babyzen. The fact that a page about Varier Furniture does not exist does not alter the fact that Stokke spun off the company. That fact has been retained with proper citation. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:50, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Another suggestion for the article: The Stokke Sleepi crib was designed in 1999 by Susanne Grønlund and Claus Hviid Knudsen. According to the article, https://www.standard.co.uk/shopping/esbest/kids/clothing/baby/stokke-sleepi-bed-review-b1022112.html GarceCahill (talk) 15:25, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done This article is not intended to serve as a product catalog for Stokke. If they wish to tout the accolades of their products, they can do so on their own website.

According to https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/best-high-chairs?msockid=0d9508f0814c675616661e6b80bc6683 , Tripp Trapp High Chair has been featured in Best High Chairs of 2026. GarceCahill (talk) 15:32, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done There is already a separate article about the Tripp Trapp high chair, but I would not suggest adding such facts there either, as such passing accolades can only be seen as marketing. If the chair had won a major international design award, that would be noteworthy, but being featured in one website's "Best Of" list is not. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:21, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
