Story
A chair that grows with the child
The page describes a practical piece that adapts as the baby grows: the leather safety strap and the optional backrest provide adaptability, and the three nameplates let owners engrave the names of the children who have used it, so it can be passed down.
Updated for modern safety
Carl Hansen & Søn updated the 1955 design to modern safety standards. The page gives EN 14988:2017+A1:2020 as the standard it meets with the Baby Backrest fitted.
