    Materials and colors

    The most common options for the manufacture of children's furniture for the seats are wood and metal. Wooden chairs are usually made in Russia, and innovations from metal-plastic by foreign manufacturers.

    Metal constructions have more functions in comparison with wooden analogues.Filler in such chairs can be both natural and artificial materials. Mainly synthetic materials lined with fabric.

    The color palette of manufactured chairs for a child today is quite diverse.

    How to choose the right model?

    In order to choose the right chair model for a first grader or teenager, The following simple rules should be considered when purchasing:

    • Seat It should not be too soft. Two-thirds of the child's thigh is ideal for such a chair.
    • Back. The height of this component of the chair should end in the middle of the blades. The best option would be to purchase a chair with an adjustable back, so parents can independently adjust it to the required criterion. If the back is not regulated, then for the purchase you need to take a student with you to make sure the purchase is correct.
    • Additionally worth noting that the back in the lumbar region should be curved inward. This is required in order to keep the lower back in the correct position.
    • Armrests. With this part of the chair a little more difficult.

    Opinions of doctors differ on this score: some say that the armrests should be absent so that the schoolchild sitting on the chair does not slouch, others, on the contrary, are sure that rest and relaxation are necessary for the student for at least some time.

    • When choosing a children's furniture attribute, you must make sure that the sitting child does not push the legs under the chair. Therefore, the important point will be the purchase of furniture with a footrest. Then the child will automatically put his feet on the stand, which guarantees the correct fit for the student. However, you can do without it. Then, for a seated child, the legs should be placed with both feet on the floor.
    • Sustainability. The design should be strong and not loosen over time.
    • Some models of orthopedic children's furniture are equipped with wheels for movement around the apartment. The best option would be the furniture that has 5 wheels on the legs. This will ensure maximum stability of the structure.
    • When buying, it will be useful to make sure that there are quality certificates for the materials used in the purchased chair. They must be of high quality and absolutely harmless to humans.
    • Marking Hard chairs for a child are usually labeled by age.
    • Design solutions. A unique chair will be a design with a bright design. Thus, the child will feel positive emotions that are sometimes lacking in homework.
    • For hard chairs there is one feature: since there is no adjustment in this category of furniture, it is necessary to seat the child on the chair before buying and look at the angle between the lower leg and the hip. If the angle is different from the direct, then such furniture will not work. Indeed, for the correct landing just such an angle is necessary.
    • Adjustment. In order not to buy furniture for the child every year, it is advisable to look at such a model where the seat is height adjustable.
    • Structural strength. The most durable options are chairs made from cast steel or aluminum.
    • In some advanced cases, when the posture is already damaged, it is better to consult a doctor. He will indicate the required characteristics for an orthopedic chair.
    • To change the situation in the nursery is better to get additional protective equipment for the chair. Covers can become them: for a teenager - these are moderate tones, for a first grader - bright and saturated shades.In addition, the cover is easier to remove and wash than to clean the furniture itself from dirt.
    • Listen to the opinion of the child. Let the little schoolboy tell you how he sees his future chair.
    • Reviews Any favorite model of orthopedic furniture must meet the requirements of the buyer.

    Therefore, it will be useful to read reviews about your future purchase on the Internet.
