Where can I find something for my 11-month-old to sit in?

At an old daycare we used to take our son to, they had a little chair. It was made of wood and it only came up to my knees, if that. It was upright and had a belt to keep him in and a tray for him to slam his rattles against. It was like a miniature version of a high chair with the legs sawed-off to just a foot high or so. Where can I find something like this? We asked a few times, and they repeatedly told us that they got it from an educational supplies store, but they didn't know which one. I've called some education supply places out of the phone book, with no luck. Internet searches to this point turn up a lot of high chairs or chairs that are more appropriate for older children (he's less than a year old).

Does this type of chair have a particular name? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Would this work?

I use this booster seat - I suppose you could not attach it to a chair, but I am not sure the safety of that.

Here is one that looks similar to what you are talking about. It might work perfect.

That's exactly what I was looking for, Gooney.

Thanks for all the tips, guys.
