Tips for choosing
Choosing the right piece of furniture, such as a height-adjustable children's chair, can not only save parents some money, but also improve the environment in the nursery. After all, not every parent understands and knows how important it is to take into account all the nuances in the formation of the personal space of a growing person.
So, in order to wisely approach the issue of choosing a chair for a child, you need to imagine what exactly is the purpose of the parent in buying this piece of furniture. Perhaps it will be a highchair for the baby, or maybe the child needs a chair to do his homework at the computer table. In any case, you need to determine the purpose of the purchase.
So, an excellent option for a child from six months to five years old would be the purchase of a transforming chair, and for a student - a computer chair, which can be used not only by him, but also by any household member.
Please note that the very design of the chair or chair must be:
- ergonomic;
- environmentally friendly;
- safe;
- have adjustment not only of height, but also of the angle of inclination of the back;
- comfortable.
Here are some more tips to help you choose the right baby chair:
- Pay particular attention to the weight that the chair structure can support. Usually, it varies within 50 kilograms.
- Be sure to check the fixing elements before purchasing. It is important that the child maintains the correct posture while sitting in this chair at the table.
- Try the chair with your child before purchasing. Pay attention to the correct position of the baby's legs: the feet should be completely on the floor, and the lower leg and thigh should form an exclusively right angle. The location of the back is also directly related to the health of the child: ideally, it should end in the middle of a person's shoulder blades.
- Give preference to models that have the ability to adjust the armrests. Their incorrect location can provoke tension in the cervical spine, which over time can develop into permanent muscle congestion and negatively affect the child's posture.
- It is better not to buy models with soft seats - bypass them, because sitting on such a chair tends to relax more, and this is unacceptable for a person's posture.
- The chair model should be easy to adjust and operate.
- When buying, we strongly recommend that you contact your pediatrician and orthopedist for an appointment. This is necessary in order to identify health problems in the child and get the necessary advice that can be used when buying a child chair.
Chairs construction material
Undoubtedly, the best option for a small child would be a chair made of plastic materials. A chair made of wood or plywood is also practical, however, do not forget that a small toddler can accidentally wet it, and this will make the wooden surface unusable. Plastic also has some disadvantages related to its strength - it breaks easily. Therefore, try to look in stores for a highchair made of thick plastic materials.
For schoolchildren, the simplest chair design is made from a metal frame on steel pipes. Wooden seats and backs are usually supplemented with soft padding with an orthopedic base. Often you can find on sale children's chairs with a cover. After all, a restless child can spill something on the chair or just get it dirty.
The cover is easy to remove and put on thanks to the dense fabric. Washing in a washing machine is also not a hassle.
Accessories
Any pleasant innovation for a child is a lot of emotions and joy. And in order to combine it pleasantly with the useful and necessary, you can decorate the children's furniture with small accessories that will give the chair not only an interesting and meaningful look, but also add a little work or play environment to the children's room.
For example, pockets for toys or educational supplies are especially popular. This approach will accustom the child to the necessary independence, and the necessary things can always be found where they should be.
