How to pick up by age
We have prepared a number of tips to help you choose the right furniture for kids.
From 2 years old
- It is worth paying attention to the number of seats in the set to the table. After all, peers may come to visit the baby, and a few chairs will fall, just the way.
- The material must be environmentally friendly. Preference should be given to the tree: it will last longer, and the quality of its products will not upset.
- The third equally important point - the choice should be made on the basis of the body of the baby and his growth. Otherwise, the health problems of the child are guaranteed.
- In addition to the dimensions of children's furniture, you should pay attention to the quality characteristics. Choose furniture with rounded corners, check the stability of the whole structure. If there is any decoration made from additional materials, they must be environmentally friendly.
- Such a criterion as the shape and adjustment of the table is also important. Choose products of rectangular or square shape: the baby’s elbows should not hang from the table. The tabletop must be adjusted, thus the baby will feel comfortable.
- Color palette. The brightness of the design can quickly tire the child, so it is better to pick up a high chair and table for the baby from pastel colors. Beige, brown, gray or white color will easily fit into the interior of the children's room and allow the child to enjoy his favorite activity.
For children from 1 year
In addition to the positions listed above, the following should be added to this section:
- Every kid at this age is not sitting in one place. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase models of furniture with seat belts.
- When buying a folding table, pay attention to the work of the lock, which secures the design. Check its performance, because it may not work at the most inopportune moment, and the child will be injured.
The location of the table - an important point that can affect the vision of the baby. Put it at the window or place the correct lighting.
For children from 3 years old
There is a requirement for the height of the table: it should be 43 cm, for children from 5-6 years old - 48 cm. In this case, the height of the chairs should be 24 and 26 cm according to age.

- Wooden products are safe for the child - everyone knows that. But there are a number of positive properties of this material:
