Rutschi Indoor Slide by Kaether & Weise

2007_12_05_rutschi & steppi3.jpg

Snow covered playgrounds can be kind of depressing in the winter. The Rutschi Indoor Slide helps you create a playground in your own living room.

 
 

2007_12_05_rutschi and steppi2.jpgDesigned by Michael Koenig for German firm Kaether & Weise, the slide can be hung on a chair or a bed. Rubber feet ensure it will stay in place and the hooks are covered in rubber to protect your furniture. Kaether & Weise depict it hung on a "Steppi", but, though it looks familiar, we can't seem to locate this piece (anyone?).

The Rutschi is for sale through Connox Shop for 167 Euros.

The Steppi looks like (but I realize isn't) the Stokke TRIPP TRAPP (http://stokkeusa.com/tripptrapp.htm)

That top picture is totally a Tripp Trapp, isn't it? The other pictures have some different ladder though.

I'm looking at the Tripp Trapp in my kitchen and I'm looking at the chair in the top pic, and they sure look identical to me.

Doppelganger, this is off-topic, but do you like the Tripp Trapp? Any issues with the fact that it doesn't have wheels? We're wondering about it, and whether it is practical (as well as being beautifully designed) or whether it makes sense to get a different high chair, which has features like the ability to recline/wheels to move around etc. I'm sure there's another thread about it on this site, and I'll search, but figured I'd ask here anyway!

Is "Steppi" German for "ladder that looks like a tripp trapp"?

Raine: fwiw, the TT is great, our son took a week to get used to it and loves it now, except when he wants to act "big" and sit on a regular chair. Not sure why you would want wheels on a high chair though; my son quickly learned he could push on the table to slide his chair out, that would be much easier (and dangerous) if there were wheels. Also since we eat at the table, there's no need to move the chair around.

I think we have consensus that this is indeed the Tripp Trapp - thanks everyone!

At first glance, I thought that they had hooked it onto a stokke high chair. Maybe this is made by the same company?

Fly -- thanks! We like to eat at the table most of the time too, but a friend who recently bought a high chair swears by the ability to move it around (e.g., to bring their kid to sit wherever they may be -- they don't tend to use their dining table much). I don't think that'll be an issue for us -- thanks for the feedback -- very helpful!

bombaygirl -- not made by the same company, but consensus is that it is hooked onto the stokke high chair (the tripp trapp) in the first picture.

Hey there, Raine. I think Fly already answered your questions, but I'll just say that we -- including my toddler -- love the Stokke. Reclining has never been a big part of his life (heh), and we can drag the chair all around the kitchen pretty easily. It's not as heavy as it looks, though it's really sturdy. And Sam loves that he can get climb into his chair all by himself.
