Øjvind and Elna Andersen established the company and called it
“Øjvind Andersen”. Already then it was situated in Låsby.
In the beginning the company primarily produced prams for dolls.

1950-60
More products were added to the range - e.g. changing tables,
handlebar baskets and sets of furniture for camping. For several
years the most important product for the company was a special
bedrail for the - at the time - very popular "Night & Day" cot

1955
Øjvind's son Finn Andersen entered the family company.
Finn was soon struck by an idea about further developing the
popular bedrail, so it also could be use in doorways, in windows
and at stairs.
 
1968
The first safety gate was produced and sold.

Finn Andersen started the mail-order firm Interpost.
This company mainly sells the popular excavator for children

still is the adress of Baby Dan. At the same time the company
went through a generational change as Finn Andersen took over
the management of the bedrail and safety gate company from
his parents. The new company was called "Finn Andersen Metalworks".

1984
In the beginning the company sold it’s products through a wholesaler,
but soon the range of products was big enough for a profitable direct
sale to the retailing shops, so the wholesale company Baby Dan ApS
was established. The production of the company was quickly expanded
with products from both home and abroad. This meant that Baby Dan
soon became a total supplier of equipment for babies. One of Finn’s sons,
Jesper Andersen, entered the family company.
