about us

 

The idea for the Stair Trainer came from inventor and father Patrick with the question: why is there a banister at children's height in schools and kindergartens, but we don't have it at home? "Such a banister shouldn't be missing in the house", We live in a house with an above-average number of stairs. When my kids were little, it was a continuous hassle to keep stair gates tightly closed. In addition, I realized that on average until our children are 3 years old they help them to walk down the stairs. There was another way... I decided to develop a special safe children's stair railing, which should be easy to fit to the existing banister.

My background as a carpenter came in handy here. An idea led to a first concept that was mainly tested with friends and family. This was followed by the elaboration of the test model into a production-ready model that would have to be patented immediately. And so the "mippaa strair trainer", a banister for children, was created! I involved my sister Micha in the project and it became a real brand "'Mippaa". Meanwhile, the mippaa stair trainer has won several international and national awards. We're actually quite proud of that. The reaction we often get from parents is mainly... why wasn't this product invented much earlier? It has an almost logical simplicity, but it is no less important: for safety reasons, but also for the enjoyment that children have when they can and may walk up and down the stairs themselves!
