A good children's chair for study is designed to reduce the load on the spine, to form and maintain posture, to maintain vision.

The right chair is the key to your child’s health!

When choosing, it is necessary to have a child who needs to be seated on a chair and make sure that:

• knees are at right angles;
• the edge of the seat does not rest under the knee and is slightly beveled;
• bent arms lie on the table at an angle of 90 degrees;
• the back is stiff, reaching the middle of the shoulder blades.

Varieties of chairs

There are many types of children's chairs for a desk, so this piece of furniture can be selected according to individual parameters. So, there are models of not just different designs, but also for various purposes: for children with a healthy and problematic spine. It’s worth choosing, starting from this.

When choosing a children's chair, first of all, you need to pay attention to its safety and reliability, and, last but not least, think about the price

Growing

Such a model would be the best option for an actively growing child, somewhere up to ten years. This chair can be used for more than one year, just by adjusting its height. However, this should be done no more than once every six months. In this case, you need to pay attention to the maximum size of the chair and restrictions on growth.

The most durable are chairs with a plastic seat on a wooden frame

Ergonomic

A relatively new version of the chair, repeating the contours of the body and ensuring the correct position. There are varieties such as:

1. Knee. Such a chair has an inclined back and support on the knees, which allows you to better distribute the body weight by connecting the buttocks and the front surface of the lower leg to this. At the same time, posture is easier to keep, and the spine does not overexert.
   

   It’s simply impossible to sit on a knee stool incorrectly, for example, leaning back or cross-legged

2. Saddle. A model of this design provides a vertical position of the back, because the whole body is located half-sitting, half-sitting. Due to this, there is no swelling of the legs or muscle strain, which allows you to work for a long time without discomfort.
   

   The process of straightening the spine in such a chair occurs on its own, since it is impossible to sit on it in another position

3. Balance. This is an option that looks similar to a rocking chair, only without a back. It has a moving base, which allows you to change the position of the body by moving the center of gravity. Such balancing favorably affects the condition of the spine.
   

   Balancing on such a chair trains muscles and maintains proper posture

Orthopedic

The orthopedic chair is designed to prevent diseases of the spine and eyes by changing the height and bends of the back. Thus, the furniture adapts to its owner. Also, such models often have a footrest, which is convenient when the child is not tall or the chair height is excessive.

A feature of the orthopedic chair is a special form of the back that allows you to maintain the optimal position of the spine during the work of the child at the table

Upholstery Materials

The upholstery of the chair should have the following properties:

• hypoallergenicity;
• tactile comfort;
• ease of cleaning.

The upholstery material will determine how long the chair retains its attractive appearance.

• Faux leather upholstery. Such children's student seats are very comfortable and pleasant to the touch, resistant to dirt and easy to clean. However, over time, the upper part of the coating loses its integrity, and aesthetic qualities are greatly reduced.
  

  Eco-leather upholstery can come in a wide variety of colors.

• Textile. A more budget version of the upholstery, which leaves room for design solutions. If you want to make a long-lasting purchase, you can choose a chair with a colorful textile coating, on which small impurities will be invisible.
  

  The main thing is that the child will like the upholstery

Choosing a chair for the desk depending on the age of the child

The main criteria for choosing a children's writing chair are the age, health status and preferences of the child. For different ages, different models are suitable.

Each child's chair is designed for a specific weight and height of the child

Chair for preschooler

Given the rapid growth of a small child, the best option at this age is a growing orthopedic chair, which can be regularly adjusted to changing parameters. At the same time, an ideal option would be a model that allows you to adjust not only the height, but also the tilt of the seat and back. A chair with a footrest is also a good option.

A good orthopedic chair is adjustable in height and depth of seat, in height and angle of inclination of the back

If the highchair is equipped with castors and does not have a footrest, check to see if your child is pushing his feet to the floor. Using a separate stand will be rather inconvenient

• orthopedic high back, repeating the bends of the spine;
• seat length equal to two-thirds of the length of the thigh;

• for the model with wheels - the ability to lock, automatic or mechanical;
