Chair for children's desk

When a child reaches a certain age, the parents face the question of organizing a workplace for him. And, accordingly, on the acquisition of furniture. From an early age, it is necessary to form a posture, therefore, it is necessary to approach the purchase of a chair very seriously and responsibly. Here it is necessary to take into account not only the wishes of the child, how many useful characteristics of the furniture.

Table - a necessary element of the working area of ​​the student. Parents need to choose which one is best suited. This can be a written or computer desk. But why not think about the desk?

Children's furniture should not just be comfortable. Need to, so she was safe, preserved, not spoiled the health of the child, formed the correct posture.

Wrong table selection can lead to the development of scoliosis. Orthopedic desks can solve this problem. Special children's desks are made according to the recommendations of doctors and meet all the necessary requirements. Today, transforming desks, which regulate the height and angle of the table top, are especially in demand, practical and convenient in operation.

Such a pleasure is not cheap, but a transforming table can last for many years. The height will change as the student grows, and the tabletop can be adjusted depending on the type of occupation: for writing one slope, for drawing - another. When choosing such a desk, of course, you need to take into account the parameters of the child.

Also pay attention to the size of the table. They must meet the requirements of comfortable work. Angles, it is desirable to be rounded. It is safer. The presence of drawers is obligatory: stationery needs to be put somewhere.

For a good desk you need to find the right chair. This is a very important point, because it is the chair that largely affects the health of the growing organism. A seat is selected taking into account a few points:

1. The legs of the child must reach the floor. The foot is completely flat on the floor. Knees when sitting bent at an angle of about 90 degrees.
2. The chair height must fit the table.
3. The distance between the seat of the chair and the table top is about 20-25 cm.
4. It is desirable that the seat and backrest are regulated.
5. Armrests are appropriate if they do not interfere with work. It should also be noted that their use can adversely affect the cervical spine.

Modern furniture manufacturers offer several types of chairs. For home, you can choose any suitable:

• Writing. The easiest and most inexpensive option. As a support - a metal frame, the seat and backrest are wooden. Nothing is regulated, the model is stable. Suitable, if it corresponds to the growth of the child. Such products are used in schools.

• Transformer. This adjustable chair can be used for several years. Its height changes as the child grows. Parameters are adjusted manually, every six months, then once a year.

• Orthopedic. The back of this chair repeats the correct position of the spine, so this model is ideal for a child. The orthopedic chair maintains the correct position of the back, contributes to the blood supply to all organs.

• Computer. Chair with adjustable height and back. There are models with armrests and without them, and even with removable armrests. Since the school chair with height adjustment is a great luxury (such can be found only in the computer class and not in every school), it is advisable not to skimp on buying it at home.
• Knee. Unusual model. When sitting in such a chair, it is not the spine that is loaded, but the knees. The convenience of this design, many are skeptical.
• Set, which includes a folding desk and chair. One complements the other. The design is designed so that the chair is ideally suited to the table. But the growing desk and adjustable chair in such sets can not be found. It is designed for one height.

Mechanisms for adjusting the chair should be simple, so that a lot of time is not spent on changing the height or tilt of the back, but at the same time reliable. The height of the transforming chair is adjustable two mechanisms, depending on the model and design:

• The seat is attached to the legs using special holes and, if necessary, moves along these legs. This type of design is typical for wooden chairs with a metal frame.
• The seat is fixed on one leg. Movement inside the frame changes its length. The step of movement in this design is less than in the previous one. Stepless adjustment requires a special lever under the seat.

The position of the chair is chosen so that the foot of the child is fully rested against the floor, and the legs are bent at a right angle. If the chair is lowered too low and the angle of the seat is less, the blood flow will decrease and this will lead to rapid leg fatigue. There are models with a footrest. It will be useful if the legs, on the contrary, do not reach the floor.

The backrest can also be adjusted. The wheels and the rotation mechanism are very attractive for the student. He is interested to spin in a chair, ride around the room. Remember that it often distracts a child from work, does not allow to concentrate on the task.

In addition, the position of such a chair unstable. Of course, it is convenient, without rising from a place to ride from one corner of the room to another, to take a book, for example. But are these not the first signs of laziness?

Materials for the manufacture of chairs is used very little. This is mainly wood and metal:

• Wooden chairs are resistant, environmentally friendly, safe, although their designs are rather primitive. Often found option - metal legs with a seat and a back from wood.
• Among the metal chairs more choices. As a rule, it is adjustable chairs. Metal leg, seat and back are made of wood or plywood and sheathed with a cloth. This is a tough one. To create models with a soft seat and back use foam rubber or other softeners.

Textile materials or eco-leather are used as upholstery. For a child, it is better to choose a variant with a cloth, since the coating of the second one can be damaged over time and lose integrity. You can purchase removable covers. They will be easier to clean than the upholstery itself, and will have to clean often.

By the choice of color all suit differently. Some parents allow you to choose a child, others decide for themselves what is best for him. If you are not ready to entrust this choice to your child, pay attention to a couple of points:

• If the furniture is bought for a long time, it is better not to take products with bright images of your favorite characters, for example. With age, schoolchildren's preferences may change, and even in high school this will be inappropriate.
• It is recommended to purchase furniture for the student's workplace so as not to distract him from his studies, homework. Under this criterion fit the tables and chairs in a single color, soothing.

Specific parameters can not be named. It is necessary to select a model individually for a child. Therefore, when buying a chair, be sure to take your child with you. You can give only a few recommendations on the selection of the chair of the correct size:

• As already mentioned, the entire foot should be on the floor. The knees form an angle of 90 degrees.
• The distance between the table top and the knees should be about 20 cm.
• Popliteal cups should be a few centimeters from the edge of the seat.
• The seat should not be too big.
• The back should reach the middle of the shoulder blades.

For a first grader, as for a preschooler, the chair is chosen in such a way as to form a correct posture and have a positive effect on health, and this also depends on the environmental friendliness of the materials.

Choose such models that the child could not push his legs under the chair. If you opt for a hard seat, check the age for which the model is designed. Pay attention to the strength of the product. The design should not be loosened. Worth thinking about the need for armrests.

If the chair is for a desk, then the hands will be on the tabletop, and there is no need for armrests. If the chair is needed for reading, then you can rely on the armrests. The same can be said about computer desks with a sliding keyboard stand: without armrests, your hands will be weighed when working on the keyboard, and they need support.

The chair is undoubtedly chosen under the table. If this is a standard desk or a classic desk, an ordinary wooden chair will do. But, for example, under the transforming model of the easel desk, it is desirable to choose a chair with adjustment.

If we talk about manufacturers, the most in demand chairs from Germany, Italy, Belarus, Poland, as well as Russian products. A suitable option can be easily ordered in the online store, but it will be safer to get acquainted with the product personally.
