Baby chair for feeding

The question of purchasing a highchair is a very crucial moment, because your choice will depend on the comfort and safety of your baby, as well as your comfort when feeding a baby.

When the baby begins to be placed in a highchair, a new stage of development comes to him in life. Now he can be on a par with the family table during the meal at the common table and gradually get used to independence, and this is the main feature of the highchair.

Mom on the handles, of course, was also not bad, but on the chair there is more freedom, and after dinner you can stay in the chair next to your mother and watch how she goes about her business.

As a rule, such a high chair can be folded and laid out, turning into a dining place, then into a place where you can play or get creative - draw, albeit as little as kalyaki.And there are models that turn into a comfortable cradle, where a child can rest for an hour or two.

The advantage of highchairs can be considered ease of care for them. It is clear that the baby will often soil all the places on the chair, which will reach palm, smeared with, for example, semolina. But it does not matter - the varnished wooden parts will be quickly washed, as well as the water-repellent fabric of the seat - just a wet wipe.

Besides, it is very simple and reliable to use a stool. In the seat of the baby holds a special separator belt, so he never slips to the floor. The special arms-armrests on both sides of the baby will not allow to fall.

Assembling or disassembling a high chair is a minute thing, it either just turns over or a special latch between the two parts of the high chair is disconnected.

Today, in stores with children's goods, which there are no children's chairs, they are different in shape, in color, in production, in size, and, of course, in price. Here are just some of the models:

• The 3 in 1 transformer highchair can be used as a place to sleep, as a dining table and as a play place.

• The hanging model of the high chair for children, which does not have legs, is attached to a stable dining table with a massive tabletop, for which the weight of the child with the high chair will be insignificant. This chair will be indispensable in a small kitchenette.

• The original chair-booster is attached to an ordinary wooden chair and thus the baby is level with the adults sitting at the table. It can be used as a folding road stool, which can be taken with you into the car or even put in a bag.

• The high folding chair is also very compact and is suitable for both a six-month-old baby and a three-year-old child. It will take quite a bit of space in the kitchen, it is easy to assemble and disassemble, and it weighs a little more than five kilograms.

• The chaise lounge is a children's stool which swings, model quite popular today. The truth is that it is quite expensive and it will be useful for a child for a maximum of four months. A newborn baby can sleep in a lounge chair - it is swaying evenly, like a swing, and thus lulls the baby. But when the baby learns to roll over, such a device will become dangerous for him.

A stool made of natural wood, environmentally friendly material - the best option for use. Even chipboard is fraught with danger to the health of the baby due to the presence of carcinogens in them. An excellent choice of wood will be beech, related to hardwoods, which means that the high chair will be distinguished by reliability and high wear resistance.

A good choice would be a chair made of plywood, a material made from several layers of wooden veneer. The stool made of plywood has a small weight.

Products from chipboard the most budget, but it is the most short-lived products. Of chipboard usually do only the tabletop.

In addition, an inexpensive chair for feeding a child made of plastic will also become an inexpensive acquisition, but this choice is unlikely to be a good one, because plastic is considered to be a “dirty” material, and the resource for its use is small.

Plastic chairs, as a rule, are not transformed, and therefore are not popular with young parents.

As a rule, any highchair for children, has accessories in the form:

• soft liner;
• safety straps;
• soft toys;
• devices in which you can put a bottle or a toy;
• additional sets of footrests, nozzles, legs, feet.

For the chair, in which the baby constantly has sweat and is uncomfortable with it, you can sew a case. It is recommended to do the same if you have disliked the color of the chair or a defect has appeared on the oil-liner. A new case can be put on over the old one or just replace the old one with it, but then a new case should be made with a thick filler.

Cases in the kit are usually two. One is used as a double seat for three-month-old babies, and the other is for a baby who is already sitting independently, and without an additional soft pad on the seat.

A cloth cape for a regular chair is the easiest option to make a children's place at the common table. She looks like a kangaroo bag and attaches to the back of a chair.

Such an accessory as a spare nozzle for a table can be useful if the first one becomes unusable for any reason, then, thanks to the spare nozzle, you will not need to buy a new high chair.

Choosing highchairs for feeding in different categories. Someone is looking for a bright plastic model, for someone it seems safer with a metal frame, others make an ecological choice - a wooden chair.Many prefer stool-transformers, because they are the most functional and so on. But whatever your choice, you need to know this:

1. The stool must be stable, and all fastenings - reliable. Check it should be right in the store. It is necessary to take into account that the kids - people are mobile and curious, which means that the frills on the chair will be the most diverse, and the chair in this regard should be completely safe for kids.
2. Parents who are going to move the chair from room to room, it is best to opt for a model with four wheels, fixed brake.
3. Make sure that the kit includes seat belts that will protect your child from slipping on the floor. These should be five-point belts, but still the best model is the one that has a special anatomical protrusion that prevents the baby from sliding.
4. Check if the frames are tightly fixed, if not, then there is a danger of pinching tiny fingers.
5. There should not be any chipping on the smooth surface of the tabletop and it is better if it has bumpers so that the plate does not slide off. Tabletop must be removed.
6. The seat should be easy to clean and have a liner.
7. The best model is a streamlined shape.
8. You should not choose a model with sharp corners, because it is likely that the baby will get hurt.
9. In the case of a fixed high chair, choose it according to the height of your dinner table, so that the baby can sit on the same level with everyone.

Choosing a high chair, remember if your baby is already sitting confidently, if yes, then choose a rigid unregulated back, and if not, then your baby needs a high chair from 0 months, whose back can change its position.

For someone who decided to make a highchair for a baby, do it yourself, there are some recommendations:

• First you need to think about the design of the future chair and prepare sketches with dimensions. Choose a simpler model so that it has fewer roundings and additional components. The height of the dining table usually has 72-76 cm, but you make it the one that suits your child best.
• Material. For homemade design most often use environmentally friendly wood.
• Prepare all the necessary parts and tools for the job. You can not do without:

1. corners;
2. screws or screws;
3. roulettes;
4. a pencil;
5. jigsaw or hacksaws;
6. screwdriver or screwdriver;
7. wooden bars and pieces of tabletop or plywood;
8. varnish on wood or stain.

• After the drawing of the highchair is ready, the assembly instructions are there, everything you need to work at hand, you can begin to build. First of all, proceed to cutting parts, then process them with sandpaper and assemble the entire structure.

When you decide on the size, count on the child to feel comfortable with himself, and this largely depends on the distance between the table and the seat. The stool should not be cramped, and not too spacious.

Treat all edges thoroughly to a smooth surface. When the product is ready, open it with varnish several times, then the surface will become absolutely smooth and will have a matte shade.

It is recommended to make the seat foam with dermatinous upholstery. And you can use leatherette as a pad under the upholstery fabric.

On the chair you can sew a case that can be removed and washed if necessary. With a cover the stool will become even more beautiful.

Do not forget the safety straps.
