We unveiled a new high chair at the All Baby and Child Show in Las Vegas this week. The product extends the versatility of minui's already eco-friendly, modern, safe and great looking children's seating system.
While the award winning minui HandySitt portable high chair has been a staple in Europe for nearly two decades, it wasn't introduced into North America until spring of this year. In response to high chairs that are too big, over-designed and sometimes and eyesore in the family home, it has been a hit with space and eco-conscious parents who can tote it along on outings with junior. Grandparents too have been quick to catch on, as they appreciate that it can be folded up and stowed in a coat closet when the grandkids aren't around. At just 5lbs, it affixes to most dining room chairs, transforming them into a high chair for kids months - 5yrs.
The new product, called the minui HandySitt Chair, works in tandem with the portable seat acting as a 'base' for the home. Together, the multi-functional minui HandySitt seating system can be configured and used as:
- A freestanding high chair
- A compact and portable high chair for traveling or taking to restaurants
- A seat for an older child (> 5yrs old)
- A step ladder for adults to get to upper cabinets, and for kids to help mom with meal prep
"Most high chairs are bulky and kind of ugly. There aren't many out that look as good as the HandySitt, that can be a permanent high chair for the home or a portable one for the road, and that are suitable for kids 6 months old all the way up to 5 years. It's a true 3-in-1 one seating system, so we're excited about its potential."
-- Adam Neilson, chief dad, Keiki Enterprises
"Because the new Chair is compatible with any minui HandySitt portable high chair ever sold, there's huge promise to expand our future market, as well as to reconnect with parents already using our products. We know the high chair segment really well and believe this product evolution makes our high chair system truly unique."
-- Hardy Mogensen, CEO, minui
The new chair is expected to be available in North American in early 2010.
