Danish term

bøjlen

Danish to English Marketing Furniture / Household Appliances children's furniture
It is something that a baby sits in, but I don't want to call it a "baby chair."

(I only have a picture, and unfortunately pictures can't be posted (yet) here, so it is a bit difficult to provide context. I will try to describe it.)

It is a chair for a baby 6 months to 2 years old. In this case, it is a part of a chair that can be clipped on (attached) to a larger charge with higher legs.

Any suggestions?
Proposed translations (English)
3 baby rail or 'baby set' (if Tripp Trapp chair)
3 clip-on

Car seat? It almost sounds like a regular car seat for babies - I know that there are chairs like that and people also bring the car seats (with the baby! :) ) into the grocery store and attach the car seat to the shopping cart. Alternative: baby seat? Perhaps you could post a link to a similar chair for us to see?

baby rail or 'baby set' (if Tripp Trapp chair)

I overlooked the word 'bøjle' when I posted my discussion entry (sorry, early morning here in British Columbia), but I do think you're referring to the Tripp Trapp chair. If that's the case, you could call it a baby rail - see reference - or use the specific name of the company's product (baby set).

Thanks Charles :)
Note from asker:
IF it was a Tripp Trapp, it would have been easier to find a term for this (simply look in the Internet); but it isn't. However thanks for your suggestion, I'll simply use their term as if it was...

Note from asker:
Good idea. But I can't simply say "clip on," even if that is the literal translation of the term, as that wouldn't explain what it is (risking confusion).
