Children's chair Ikea

For many modern people, shopping is exactly the occupation for which time is never enough. In this situation, more and more attention is paid to those manufacturers that sell a large proportion of their products online through various Internet sites, as well as those who do not excel in fantasy, forcing them to choose from several equally attractive options, and makes everything simple, but taste .

Both criteria are met by the Swedish company Ikea, whose products in our country are so famous and popular that even the brand itself has already become a household name. When it comes to such a thing as a high chair, adults don't want to choose at all, because design is not as important as reliability and convenience for a child. Fortunately, in the product range of the company there is such furniture.

The stool for children from Ikea is a very vague concept, because such a piece of furniture may be needed for completely different purposes, and the manufacturer tried to ensure that its customers did not feel the need for anything. From here, perhaps, the first feature is a huge variety of assortment, which includes highchairs, small children's stools, high chairs, as well as other practical models.

This diversity somewhat narrows the range of characteristics that would be inherent in all Ikea products, but we still managed to identify several qualities that are characteristic of all the lines.

It should be noted that although the company's products, as a rule, are made of polypropylene, the European manufacturer ensures that the synthetic components are one hundred percent safe for kids, as well as for their parents.

In recent years, the company has been paying more and more attention to natural materials - for example, pine, birch and beech solid wood. In this case, the raw materials are chosen not only because of the strength and safety for health, but also with an eye to the lightness of the finished design.

Children, of course, in their own pampering can turn the whole apartment upside down, but the last thing that will be knocked down is probably an Ikea chair. Absolutely all the high models are not just designed with a correctly located center of gravity, but also equipped with widely spaced legs, which do not allow to swing on the seat. Being under the chair, the baby also can not be afraid - from above nothing will collapse on him, no matter how hard he tries;

Perhaps, Ikea is not at all the company that specializes in “transformer” type furniture, because all its products provide only one way to use. Take the same children's chairs - they usually have no adjustment, and if there is one, it looks rather primitive, which is why some of the potential customers start to resent.

Nevertheless, this approach is quite justified, because practice shows: the more complex the settings allow the furniture, the more new owners are lost, trying to achieve the ideal position of all components.

It is foolish to argue with the fact that Ikea is still not the cheapest brand in the domestic market, however, it is worth once again to think about who is such a rivalry in the field of price policy. Cheaper children's furniture is offered mainly by highly dubious suppliers, among which, mainly, Russian and Chinese firms.

Perhaps their products also deserve attention, but the buyer cannot know this in advance, looking at a completely unknown label, and only a madman will risk the health of a child by choosing something unknown. As for the best imported samples, there is no dispute - a certain part of our fellow citizens consider only theirs worthy of attention, and can name a number of reasons why they made such a choice.

A variety of models of highchairs for various purposes in Ikea is quite large, to name each, moreover, the model range is constantly updated. In it for now, except that nothing has been invented for the bathroom. We will highlight only a few of the most popular trends and models that are very popular in our country.

It is worth starting with chairs for feeding - they are very much in demand in modern families, because almost no one feeds the little ones by holding them in their arms. Strangely enough, as of the beginning of 2018, the Swedish giant has only one model of such a product - "Antelope". You can't tell a lot about it - it is extremely laconic and fits well into any interior due to the neutrality of colors, is pretty well thought out, judging by customer comments, but it is not a generally accepted masterpiece.

Sold complete with a removable table top, but you can buy more and a soft inflatable pillow. As for a western company, it is a very cheap product, but you need to make sure that the child is comfortable, because with the adjustment of such furniture is a big problem - it is simply not provided. But the creators did not forget to take care of the convenience of transporting the product, because such a chair is folding: its legs are removed and can be folded separately.

When a child gets older and begins to eat independently, many parents prefer to organize full-fledged family gatherings in the kitchen or at least not to purchase a separate table for the child. In this situation, a very useful find may be a high chair for a child from Ikea. In essence, it resembles the typical bar stools with the only difference that here we see a slightly smaller copy, designed for a kid sitting at an ordinary table.

Furniture of this type is currently available in three series - polypropylene "Urban", as well as more expensive wooden Ingolf and Agam. Between a series differ in some changes in the design, and within the same line they will find only one difference - color.

However, those kids who use all typically “adult” accessories, only specially reduced in size, consider their childhood especially happy. Due to this, a clever psychological effect is achieved, allowing the child to be almost equal with adults, which makes him more open to communication, not to mention the banal convenience of sitting.

Ikea produces such furniture both individually and in sets, which include tables and chairs. Such products are very much loved in large quantities to buy those domestic kindergartens, which is a little richer.In a good variety is presented, in particular, a small stool, but high-grade chairs with a back are also present - they are all divided into series Utter, Mammut, Flisat, Critter, and so on. Series Sundwick It offers even more unusual furniture for children, namely, miniature armchairs, including rocking chairs.

When it comes to products specifically designed for the child, parents become especially attentive to the safety of the raw materials used to make such products. In particular, the same Ikea used to be regularly criticized for too strong adherence to plastic, which has always been criticized by many opponents of industrial development at the expense of its own health, and in recent years it has been increasingly perceived even by the average consumer as something that it’s better not to buy.

Such attacks, by the way, are completely unfair, because Ikea uses only high-quality polypropylene - certified material, which is known for its complete chemical neutrality, thanks to which it does not emit any vapors at all, and can be successfully used for the production of children's furniture.

Wooden furniture rulers from Ikea are less known, but they are also represented in the product segment for children. For production, arrays of various breeds are used, among which beech, ash, and many other varieties. And although this manufacturer does not offer an exquisite wicker rattan chair, it’s still children's corner will look no less stylish and businesslike than an adult.

The company basically does not use any mechanical lumber for children's furniture, such as chipboard or even MDF - an array and only an array.

Separately, it is worth noting the attitude to paint products. Plastic products from above are usually painted with nothing, but wood furniture is painted and covered with acrylic varnish. Such a lacquer fits tightly to the surface and in itself is definitely not harmful to the child - in the dry form, the baby will not get them, even trying to bite off a piece, although doing this is still not worth it, at least for the sake of the safety of teeth.

Ikea products are famous for their simplicity of design - here you should not rely on stunning imagination drawings or at least intricate patterns. Children's chairs of the brand, regardless of the exact purpose of the model, are produced in plain colors - this is done so that people can acquire different interior details easily and quickly, and then they are well combined with each other in a home environment.

At the same time, it is somewhat inconvenient that each series has a limited choice of colors, although together they can boast of an almost complete palette. This means that quite often, people choosing a specific high chair have to make a start not so much from the model they like as from the color scale into which they will have to enter the purchase.

It should be clarified that The company's most favorite color is white, as absolutely neutral and universal. More than a dozen Ikea brand stores are represented almost throughout Russia, and everyone probably orders furniture in the one that is closest, but if all the other colors may be temporarily not represented in this supermarket, then there is almost white.

The choice of furniture for the child - the task in any situation is quite difficult, but in the case of Ikea, with its missing ability to adjust products, The task is somewhat simplified, although it makes the purchase less durable:

• in fact, the main requirement for the acquisition is the maximum comfort of the baby, because his safety, which consists in the inability to overturn the chair, is already provided for by the developers;
• in this situation, the wisest decision is to take the child with you, come to the store and invite the little user to personally try on which chair it is more convenient for him. Of course, this option is no longer so well suited for those children who have not yet learned how to express their own impressions clearly, but even a baby will begin to be capricious if it is clearly uncomfortable for him.

In this case, you should forget the main recommendation, which is relevant for most manufacturers, but not for Ikea: Never purchase any products of this brand for growth. Furniture in general is extremely undesirable to acquire for such a purpose, and especially if it does not allow adjustment. Of course, over time, the child will grow up and, perhaps, later it will really be a bit more comfortable than it is now, but parents cannot know for sure. In addition, by the time the baby may already develop disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Ikea products are faced with completely opposite consumer opinions and highchairs are no exception. They are often praised for practicality. It seems, and are inexpensive, and durability with durability differ, and fit well into the interior, and do not bear harm to health. For some, an effective argument is also the fact that this is “not China” and even “not Russia”, because (we won’t argue) imported products, as a rule, do significantly exceed the goods produced in these two countries.

And yet many commentators mercilessly criticize Ikea highchairs. First of all, because they do not allow the slightest adjustment of the seat and back, which shorten their life and can harm the baby. In addition, in some cases, the minimalism of the Swedish company looks so inappropriate that it begins to border on the wretchedness or lack of any aesthetic taste.

We recommend to watch the following video review, in which the consumer will tell about all the advantages of the Ikea highchair.
