Designed by Ikea R&D folks Charlotte Rude and Hjordis Ohlsson-Une, the Dino was made out of tubular steel and plastic. They figured that the safest design should have a wide, circular base, no footrest, and no tray. From about 6 months on, a kid would eat at the table with the rest of the family. The result: A generation of Swedish teens who are inexplicably drawn to (the foreign sport) basketball.

I was born the year Dino introduced, and mun & dad bought one at IKEA, Stockholm. Now I¥m trying to find one, just for nostalgic reasons. But I can¥t find one anywhere. I¥ve search all over the internet with no result.
