Baby chair

At an early age, children are usually agile and emotional. For a child, comfort is important - both physical and psychological. From an early age it is advisable to seat the child on the same level with adults and move them to the table. This is necessary so that the baby does not feel separated from the family, and at the same time, learns how to be independent.

Children who sit on a par with adults, in their place, as a rule, are less naughty and require less attention from their parents. When a child grows up a little, he needs a serious workplace, which will allow him to realize all his sedentary hobbies without risk to health.

To date children's chair is an indispensable attribute of almost every family with a small child. The reason for this popularity is as follows:

• Security: the child is in a fixed state, special attachments will not allow him to fall out of his chair on a whim or grab what he is not supposed to.
• Comfort: Modern child seats are made as ergonomic as possible in accordance with the latest medical research. Many models have the ability to adjust the height of the seat, backrest, table and steps. Parents can not worry about the health and convenience of the child.
• Easy to clean: any consequences of the baby’s natural negligence will be localized in one place - there will no longer be a problem of collecting porridge residues throughout the apartment.
• Food convenience: thanks to the high chairs, the parents get rid of the need to control the baby’s location every second and keep it in their hands. It is much more convenient to feed the child when he is opposite than when he is sitting on his lap.
• Habit of independence: feeling his position equal to his parents, the child adopts the rules of behavior at the table from the parents and tries to behave accordingly.
• First job: Most of the chairs are equipped with a comfortable table and are perfect for many children's activities. It will be interesting for the child to look at pictures, study or draw at such a table.

At the moment, the stores are filled with children's furniture. Her variety is amazing. Plastic and wooden, hard and soft, adjustable and no. Each of the models has its advantages and disadvantages.

Most children's chairs for children under 5 years old are called feeding chairs or chairs for the kitchen. They are called so, mainly due to the presence of a table (tray). But in practice, they can serve any other purpose in a child’s life.

The age at which the manufacturers of such chairs, as a rule, are oriented, is 6 months - three years. But there are exceptions. Chairs for feeding can be divided into the following types.

It is presented by various design. It has the widest possibilities for adjustment and adjustment. Very convenient for use in families where there are children of different ages.

3. Universal. Are completed with legs, allowing to use a stool both for bathing and for feeding.
4. Suspended. Fasten to the edges of the bathroom with special clips. Not too suitable for mobile children, as it is usually not very reliable fasteners.

All types are united by the main task - to free the hands of parents, for a more convenient and comfortable bathing of the baby. But, It is worth noting that, in general, despite all its advantages in practice, the bathing chair has an important drawback.

An active child does not want to, and will not sit while swimming, because every bathing for him is a small adventure! And to limit his games to a small chair is completely pointless. At the same time, in a calm baby sitting in a chair, on the contrary, there is a decrease in the desire for movement, which reduces the important developmental effect of games in the water.

Suspended chair. It is characterized by special mounts that allow you to attach it directly to the kitchen table. The child is under the complete control of the parents, and feels part of the family. Older children often buy chairs for proper posture.

He has some advantages. It makes it possible to adjust the position of the back, thereby allowing the baby to observe the outside world from different angles. In addition, such a highchair is usually easy to attach toys to which the baby can easily reach. However, it is worth noting that other types of chairs can also have these functions, while combining the possibility of use by older children as well.

Classic chair. Simple design, minimum moving parts, maximum reliability. Seat with a tablefixed at a certain height. Modern models can be equipped with belts and mounts for greater insurance baby.

• "Balancing" stool. One of the latest achievements of scientific thought in this area, these chairs look quite unusual. However, according to the developers, it is this structure that most accurately meets the needs of the child's physiology. It is a seat without a back, hinged.

The necessary frequent contractions of the muscles of the back to stabilize, do not allow the blood to stagnate, and also do not allow the child to sit stooping, thereby maintaining posture.

From a highchair, the transformer chair can turn into an orthopedic chair for a first-grader. In due course, it can be altered under computer. "Little Humpbacked Horse" is easy to regulate under the age and physical changes of the child.

Standard materials for the manufacture of the highchair frame are plastic, wood and chipboard. There are also chairs made of wood, pipes and plywood. Various metals (such as aluminum) are also used for older versions. Upholstery can be of any fabric or oilcloth material and leatherette.

When choosing a chair made of chipboard, it is especially important to pay attention to the manufacturer and the quality of the material. The fact is that chipboard contains glue, which can have harmful chemical constituents.

Not the highest quality production and the inevitable mechanical damage to the high chair, can lead to the evaporation of this glue, which can be dangerous to the health of the child.

The upholstery of a children's stool with water-repellent effect is very practical. Also a great find for especially grubby children - removable covers. Practice shows that children do not like to sit on oilcloth materials and leatherette. But by and large, the material of which the highchair is made does not matter much for the health of the child. The main thing is to choose materials that will not cause an allergic reaction in a child.

It allows you to adjust the height of the chair, change the backrest tilt and separate the armrests, in case parents purchased a chair with armrests.

First, it is necessary to determine at what age and period the chair is bought. Secondly, decide for what purposes, first of all, it is needed. And third, in what price range I would like to find the desired model. The rest is a matter of taste.

And now we invite you to see the presentation of the growing baby chair.

If a child feels discomfort, even if he simply does not like the colors, then it is better to refuse to purchase this particular model, no matter how much the parents like it.

It is important to pay attention to the following mandatory components of the chair:

• The possibility of adjustment. Buying such an expensive product every year is very expensive;
• Equipment. Castors, armrests, table, mesh for toys, replaceable seats. It is worth considering what is really needed and what a waste of money.
• Bending of the back in the lumbar region, as well as its height. Ideally, the back should not end above the level of the shoulder blades;
• The position of the feet of the child. The main criterion - the observance of an angle of 90 degrees in a relaxed state. This can be provided with a special footrest.
• Structural strength and safety. Good manufacturers usually produce chairs from reliable materials, with legs, equipped with anti-slip stoppers. And for the smallest, there should be a system of straps and fasteners.
• Material. It is important to choose chairs according to the allergic reactions of the child, which the parents should be aware of. Otherwise it can be an unpleasant surprise.

Production of children's chairs are: Peg Perego, Eames, Chicco, Tatamia, Ikea, Stokke, Kapella, Graco, Babyton, Appetite and many others. When buying products of these brands, you can be sure that you are not the first to experience them.

You can always use the experience of other parents. The forums have a lot of worthwhile reviews and recommendations of mothers who have already tried certain products, and made up a full-fledged opinion. However, it is desirable to avoid forums and reviews that can be found on the sites of the manufacturers themselves. There is a risk of running into an "adware", that is, a deliberately false review.

Today, there are a large number of ratings of models from specific manufacturers, which compare the various indicators of these products - such as reliability, convenience, affordability.Of course, how many people, so many opinions, and the rating compiled on one site, can almost not coincide with the same rating on another, but, having studied several such tables, you can easily find quality brands and the right balance of price and quality.
