Height adjustable baby chair

Modern schoolchildren spend about 3-5 hours a day at the desk and sit in a chair, the role of which is sometimes underestimated in relation to the table. To choose a children's chair, adjustable in height - the task is paramount and the same as the choice of a table for a child. In order to make the choice reasonable and the thing as functional as possible, one should get acquainted with the peculiarities of children's furniture for the child, existing models and other parameters.

Kinds

Children's chairs differ not only in their external design, but also in functionality. Let's talk about the types of children's furniture:

  • The classic wooden chair is a laconic and durable construction made of solid wood, therefore it will be appropriate for a family with a large number of children (due to its high durability), but for a single child, such a chair will be a winning element of the room. Even models of traditional wooden chairs have the ability to change the height of the seat: pay attention to its sides - they have additional small holes; Do not forget,that not all chairs have a repositioning function.

By the way, wooden children's chair, adjustable in height, may be a combined metal (metal frame). This chair is solid, durable, durable; Additionally, you can purchase a soft pillow to make the child more comfortable. The cost of a simple chair is inexpensive compared to most models of metal, plastic and fabric combination. Among the shortcomings of a wooden chair can be noted its bulkiness and discreet design: it is unlikely the child will like this chair; the chair is solid, so it is worth buying it for tidy and grown-up children in order to avoid injury.

  • Computer chair for a child know everything: the design is a soft seat on the leg and the wheels at the bottom; by the way, adults can easily use such a chair. The seat and backrest of a computer chair are soft, there are models with handrails on the sides; it has the ability to adjust the height from the lowest to the highest possible, the angle of the seat, the height and inclination of the backrest.

By purchasing a similar baby chair,It is worth paying attention to the seat upholstery - give preference to durable fabrics and high-quality accessories; When buying a piece of furniture for a naughty or young child, choose a model with a stopper: it will allow you to fix the chair in one position so that the child can stop spinning on it and get busy.

  • Orthopedic chair should be divided into a separate category, although the unifying factor of furniture with a similar name is the ability to adjust the height of the seat and the backrest tilt. There are special models for children with poor posture or back problems; they are equipped with additional elements, a unique back and other nuances and are often carried out on an individual order.

For orthopedic chairs can be attributed to the model with a footrest, which is located in front or in a circle. A knee stool is a chair without a back and an inclined seat; a special soft support in front of or behind the knees helps to hold the child in place. Unstable stool is located on the "dancing" basis, that is, the child, sitting on a chair, must focus attention on his position among other tasks - lessons or reading.The double back in a chair for a child allows the spine to assume the correct position.

  • The transforming chair has absorbed all the best from the rest of the models: back, soft seat, footrest. Transformers models are traditionally represented in the range of children's chairs from six months of age, because even kids love to sit at the table: eat, draw, play.
  • A desk with adjustment will be an assistant for the formation of the correct posture of the child; Often complete with a desk is a wooden chair with a back or without.

Adjustment mechanism

There are two ways to adjust the height in children's chairs:

  • Thanks to the removable seat and the presence of additional holes in the village; its advantage will be low price and durability. Disadvantages are adjustment by one or more steps of a certain size (for example, a step is measured 5 cm, and it becomes impossible to raise the seat by 3 cm), an adult’s help in case of a need to change the height of the chair.
  • Thanks to the lifting-lowering mechanism, the seat is located on the frame. The advantage of this kind of design is the smooth transition from one position to another due to the small pedal under the seat, the ability to change the height even by a child without an adult.Among the shortcomings, we note a higher price and sometimes a weak, fragile mechanism.

How to choose

  • The first thing worth noting is whether the child suffers from back problems? Is it not necessary to purchase specialized chairs? If not, the choice of chairs increases significantly.
  • It is important to correctly determine the height of the product, even though the seat is height adjustable.
  • Orthopedic chairs, made to order in accordance with the growth of the child and his complexion, suitable for those children who spend a lot of time at the table; If the child’s pastime at the table takes more than 5 hours, there is no need for such a product.
  • Ask your child to sit on the chair before purchasing a chair and evaluate convenience. Let the adolescent hold on the chair at least 5 minutes of time, try it in action and check the work of the mechanisms together with the adult.

Right choice

Evaluate the following criteria, and you will understand that the chair is selected correctly:

  • The formation of a natural curvature of the back when sitting is one of the first signals about the right choice. It is important that the back of the child is not bent in a semicircle; to avoid this,Choose a children's chair with a curved back.
  • Well, if the length of the back of the chair will not exceed the shoulders, so that the child does not lie down on the chair with his head.
  • With the correct height of the chair, a right angle forms between the knees and the lower leg - check the position of your child’s feet.
  • For a child, it is still better to choose a chair without armrests, so that he does not lean on them and learns to keep his posture without help.

How to make yourself

Even a master with little experience will make a chair for a child with his own hands. First you need to arm yourself with a base - a tree or plywood. If you choose a tree, give preference to beech, pine or birch - they are easy to process. A plywood baby chair will be a good and functional piece of furniture for a child of any age, since plywood is lightweight and environmentally friendly.

Materials will require planks, bars and wooden sheet - it will serve as the basis of the seat; addition will be a hacksaw or jigsaw, sanding machine or "sandpaper", a screwdriver, a hammer and paints for finishing.

Take care of the safety of the product: carefully treat the surface to smoothness and hide the fastening elements - accessories.

The manufacture of a children's chair made of plywood takes place in 3 or 4 stages: the preparation of materials, their cutting and assembly, the last stage - processing the product, or coating it with varnish and paint. Before you start creating furniture, leave the material for one or two days at home, let the material “get used” to the current humidity and temperature. You can cut up the future parts on your own or to order - this stage is considered the most difficult compared to the others.

Cutting materials is a responsible task, it is important to observe all proportions in accordance with the finished sketch of the future product. After cutting, each piece is processed with sandpaper.

The assembly is made after processing the parts. As the connection, use dowels or other safe fittings, glue. Children's plywood chair is assembled with grooves, that is, its elements with grooves and spikes are pre-made.
