Rinki High Chair - Cozy Up to the Bar

If you're in the market for a high chair and you have a kitchen island that needs a few stools, here's a way to kill two birds with one stone. Invest (there's a reason I choose that word) in a Rinki stool /high chair from Seimi.
Here again, we see an example of desperate parents fending for themselves. When the Finnish designers at Puustudio IDF had a child and found only the usual ugly, plastic, blah in stores, they started designing their own stuff. And thus, the Seimi baby collection was born.
The Rinki high chair is made of solid wood with color accents - available in red, yellow, teal, white, or gray - on the pedestal and seat. Suitable for babies 6 mos +, it features a sturdy, tip resistant base, and removable high chair attachment. The only thing that gives me pause is the absence of a tray. No problem if you can cozy baby up to the table, but if the height doesn't match, you're in trouble. Still I applaud Seimi for this practical yet stylish design. Let's here it for multifunctionality!

Myself and several of my neighbors and friends who live in similarly built houses have run into this exact problem. Our happy solution is to use one of those Hippo travel clip on chairs and just leave it there all the time. I, personally, love having the babies up at the table and eating with us and being part of the conversation. It was also kinda nice to only spend $40 and still it *is* portable and comes in it's own little bag.
Love and Laughter,
Amy

Re: Where to buy. If you go to the Seimi site, click "contact." Then on the right you will see a button to click for international, including US, dealers.

Hi Doris,
The high chair is hard to find online in the US, but I found it on these European sites http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com/Products/usd0/Trademark/New+products/6066/Rinki+highchair and http://www.nordickids.co.uk/acatalog/orange-rinki-highchair-by-seimi-bedding.html.
