Rating of the TOP 7 best growing chairs for children: which one to buy, pros and cons, reviews

Order and assembly

It is recommended to purchase Kidfix chair on the official website of the manufacturer.
Products are also sold through points of sale of orthopedic goods. To place an order, you only need to select the appropriate color of the chair, adding accessories if necessary. Manufacturer representative offices are open in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Free targeted delivery is provided in these regions; orders can be sent to any other point in the Russian Federation by transport carrier companies. The cost of a growing chair depends on the model (colored Kid-Fix ones are a little more expensive) and the configuration.

As for the assembly, it is quite possible to do it yourself, there is nothing complicated there:

1. The process begins with the installation of the backrest: it is attached to the side post and the seat. The bolts included in the kit should be tightened lightly. They are not screwed all the way, leaving 5 mm.
2. By analogy, the lower backrest is mounted. Next, it is rotated so that the edging is located in the area of ​​the upper end, and the through hole is located at the bottom.
3. Then, on the other side, a side stand is attached to the backrests.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Kid-Fix growing chair has a lot of advantages:

• It can be used when the child has just learned to sit on his own until adulthood. Simply put, instead of buying a large number of different furniture, you buy one option. This allows you to significantly save your finances.
• It is convenient to use it as a high chair. Thanks to the belts and pillows, the baby will be safe and comfortable in it.
• Natural materials of the product and accessories make the product environmentally friendly. The manufacturer chooses birch for production not by chance - it rarely causes allergies.

• The back, due to its design and position, is orthopedic, so the chair is not only comfortable, but can also solve health problems: correct postural disorders and prevent them. The curves of the backrest are adapted to the child’s spine and allow you to take the correct position when sitting with the least load and form correct posture.
• The chair is made in such a way that even a small child cannot fall from it, swing or move it. The legs are equipped with special anti-slip pads, and European fittings used by the Russian manufacturer add reliability and durability to the chair.

• The presence of a footrest allows the legs to take the correct position and not dangle in the air.
• The choice of product colors allows it to fit into any interior and style.
• The seat and stand adjustment mechanism allows you to rearrange them to any height within the size of the chair. This will help both the baby and the kindergarten-aged child sit comfortably at the dining table or drawing table. At 2-3 years old you can climb it on your own without any problems.

• Kid-Fix chairs are available for sale. They are available in manufacturer stores, in orthopedic product centers, on websites with various children's products and in children's stores.
• The manufacturer provides a 7-year warranty. Such a long period indicates the excellent quality and durability of the product.

And, of course, the maximum permissible load is less than that of adult models. Also, one of the negative aspects is that, according to customer reviews, it can be difficult for a young child, due to the design features and weight of the product, to move independently on a chair to a table or counter.

Design

Kidfix is ​​a children's chair that differs from its analogues in its growing design. It consists of several parts:

• double-sided frame;
• double back;
• seat;
• footrest.

In addition, there are special wooden lintels. They are installed in areas of greatest load. One is mounted under the footrest, the second is fixed in the center of the chair. Jumpers perform the function of strengthening the frame.

The adjustment mechanism is intuitive. The seat of the children's chair can be adjusted to the desired height. The lift of the footrest is adjusted in the same way.

When choosing furniture, every apartment owner takes into account the dimensions of the product so that it does not turn out to be bulky. The parameters of the Kidfix chair are as thoughtful and comfortable as possible:

• dimensions – 45 x 80 x 50 cm;
• weight – 7 kg;
• permissible load – 100 kg;
• package dimensions – 87 x 48 x 10 cm.

Tips for choosing

Choosing the right piece of furniture, such as a height-adjustable children's chair, can not only help parents save some money, but also improve the environment in the children's room.

After all, not every parent understands and knows how important it is to take into account all the nuances in the formation of the personal space of a growing person.

So, in order to wisely approach the issue of choosing a chair for a child, you need to imagine what exactly the parent’s goal is in purchasing this piece of furniture. Perhaps it will be a high chair for feeding a baby, or maybe a child needs a chair to do homework at the computer desk. In any case, you need to determine the purpose of the purchase.

Please note that the design of the chair or armchair itself must be:

• ergonomic;
• environmentally friendly;
• safe;
• have adjustment of not only the height, but also the angle of the backrest;
• convenient.

Here are some more tips to help you choose the right children's chair:

Pay special attention to the weight that the chair structure can support

Usually it varies within 50 kilograms. Before purchasing, be sure to check the fixing elements. It is important that the child maintains correct posture while sitting on this chair at the table. Try out the chair with your child before purchasing it. Pay attention to the correct position of the baby’s legs: the feet should be completely on the floor, and the lower leg and thigh should form an exclusively right angle

The location of the backrest also has a direct bearing on the child’s health: ideally, it should end in the middle of the person’s shoulder blades. Give preference to models that have the ability to adjust the armrests. Their incorrect location can cause tension in the cervical spine, which over time can develop into permanent muscle stagnation and negatively affect the child’s posture.

• It is better not to buy models with soft seats - avoid them, because sitting on such a chair makes you more inclined to relax, and this is unacceptable for a person’s posture.
• The chair model should be easy to adjust and operate.
• When purchasing, we strongly recommend that you consult a pediatrician and orthopedist for an appointment. This is necessary to identify health problems in the child and get the necessary advice that can be used when buying a baby chair.

Criterias of choice

When considering the right growing chair for your child, pay attention to the following parameters:

• Manufacturer . You should choose models from proven brands that have earned a positive reputation among consumers.
• Material . Solid wood is safe and will last 10-15 years.
• Coverage . The durability of varnishes and paints is a fundamental factor in the durability of the appearance. Washing, cleaning, exposure to the baby destroys the outer layer. The higher the quality of the paint, the longer the chair looks neat.
• Fasteners . Models in which parts are inserted into grooves should not be considered as a long-term purchase. Bolt-on assembly will last up to grade 11.
• Safety . For children under 2-3 years old, preference should be given to chairs with seat belts, additional tabletops, and cradle attachments.
• Price . There are models of different cost ranges on the market. Among each category, the user will find a suitable option in terms of price and quality.

If the child is a schoolchild, a height-adjustable chair is necessary. Correct body position while doing homework or playing on the computer reduces the risk of developing problems with the spine. Children 2-3 years of age will also appreciate the comfort of sitting at a common table with their parents. The growing chair is purchased once and retains its functionality up to grade 11.

Popular models

A simple and durable design makes the Shkolnik plus KIND model stand out from the samples of wooden chairs. Against the backdrop of a wide variety of height-adjustable children's chairs, the classic decision can be made in favor of wood when purchasing such chairs. After all, previously mass-produced furniture was only wooden. The Shkolnik plus KIND chair is made of deciduous wood - beech and birch.

Massive supporting parts, reliable assembly with glue and fasteners, a back and seat made of multi-layer plywood on beech veneer and bent according to orthopedic requirements - this is how these chairs can be characterized. They can serve a student for a long time, right up to graduation. Height adjustment is extremely simple, without disturbing the rigidity of the structure, in three positions. All parts are sanded and waxed, which eliminates any harmful effects.

Computer chairs are more complex in design and materials used. Adjustment is made in height, backrest angle, and backrest shape. Supports – on 5-6 legs with rollers, rotation on a stand, armrests.

The mixed design of the TIO school chair is interesting. The main parts are made of steel, coated with silver and lined with plastic. Height adjustment is made using a gas lift, especially for children's furniture. The rollers on five supports are braked to a shear force of 20 kg to eliminate any voluntary movements in the workplace. The seat is made of bent multi-layer beech plywood and complemented by a soft cushion. The back of the chair can also be adjusted in depth. The backrest position is controlled by a button. The covers are removable and washable. All products comply with German quality standards.

When choosing chairs for a schoolchild, you need to have him try on, examine and approve your choice.

Height

The child sits correctly if the foot and lower leg form a right angle. This is what you need to focus on when setting the height of the chair. You can adjust the height in several ways.

If the student’s feet do not reach the floor, you need to use a stand or buy a chair with a removable stand, which can then be removed as the student’s height changes.

Another criterion for adjusting a children's chair is the angle of the legs at the knee joint. And there should be a right angle here. If the seat is low, it disrupts proper blood circulation, tension in the muscles increases, and the legs get tired faster. If it is too high, the child’s legs may hang and this forces him to look for support and take an unstable position on the chair.

The popliteal fold should not touch the edge of the seat, retreating to some distance (5-8cm).

What are the differences between growing chairs for children?

The basic design principle for all growing chairs is the same - it is an adjustable seat and a footrest on a stable support.

But there are some nuances that you should pay attention to

Growing chair for preschoolers and schoolchildren: what is important

You can buy a chair that grows with the child as soon as the baby has learned to sit. To make your child feel confident, such designs come with a soft seat and reliable seat belts that will prevent your baby from accidentally falling off during feeding. For children from 6 months, the highchair seat is set to the maximum height. In this position, your child will become a full participant in the family dinner and will be able to draw or play at the adult table.

A high chair for a child will help him sit at a common table

As you get older, the seat and footrest will drop lower and lower. A younger student will need not only a growing chair, but also a growing desk. Properly adjusted furniture will create good posture, and the child will not be distracted during lessons.

Materials for growing furniture

All children's furniture, not just chairs, should be made from materials that are safe for the baby's health. These include natural wood, high-quality plastic and metal.

Studying the range of growing chairs, you will find that there are models from all of the materials listed above

If we compare them, the first place, of course, will be taken by wood coated with safe acrylic varnish. Its seats are warm, comfortable and non-slip, which cannot be said about other options.

Plastic, of course, weighs much less, but it is not as durable as wood, and this is very important. In addition, wooden structures can even support the weight of an adult, and a lightweight plastic high chair will have to be replaced as soon as your child grows up a little.

In addition, the neutral colors of natural wood fit organically into any interior, but poisonously bright plastic will immediately catch your eye

Design Features

Growing chairs may have different mechanisms for changing the height of the seats. In some models, special grooves on the supports are used for this, and in more reliable ones, they are mounted on furniture bolts. It should be noted that the stronger the mount, the longer the entire structure will last.

As additions to the chairs, manufacturers offer belts, pockets for toys and small tabletops that are attached to a common base.

Design, color and materials

To ensure that the growing chair matches the interior, manufacturers produce it in a wide color palette. For fans of natural shades of wood, furniture is offered in the following colors:

• wenge;
• cherry;
• swallowtail;
• natural.

For those who prefer bright colors, products in blue, green and pink tones are suitable. Fans of minimalism who love simplicity will appreciate the white chair.

As for pillows, today the manufacturer offers more than 10 color options - from discreet classics and neutral “forget-me-nots” to bright “fly agaric”, “orange” or “jungle”. The range of products allows you to easily fit the chair into interiors made in country, Provence, modern, minimalism, and eco styles.

Kidfix is ​​made exclusively from natural birch wood, using pre-polished solid wood. The pads on the seat and back are cotton, filled with synthetic padding for softness. The materials do not cause allergic reactions and are completely safe for the health of the child.

Additional accessories

For a child under 2 years of age, additional restraints are purchased. They are necessary to fix the height of the product at a certain level. As the little one gets older, they need to be changed. Thus, even an adult can use the chair. However, there is a weight limit - no more than 120 kg.

Cushions for the seat and back of the chair are available as an additional accessory. There are pillows of various shapes and themes. In addition to soft options, hard modifications are usually available.

For various little things and accessories for the little owner of the chair, manufacturers of children's paraphernalia have provided an additional accessory - a bag that is attached to the back of the furniture. It has several fairly spacious pockets, so your baby's favorite toys will always be at hand. All colors of this attribute correspond to the colors of the pads.

Purpose and features

The Kidfix orthopedic chair is a know-how in the furniture market and is suitable for a wide age range (from six months to 16 years). It is a combination of an ordinary high chair with a product that has a therapeutic and preventive effect. The furniture can be used as a work chair or as a standard chair at the dining table, the height of which is 60-90 cm.

The chair holds the spinal column in an anatomically correct position, and as a result, posture is corrected. Thanks to the double back, an orthopedic effect is created. A regular chair has none of these capabilities.

The main advantage of the design is the ease of adjusting the size according to the age of the child: a special mechanism allows you to set the desired height and position of the backrest relative to the seat. Among other undoubted advantages of using the Kidfix system:

• durability - a frame of three slats prevents the furniture from warping over time, and a special coating prevents paint from cracking;
• multifunctionality - the chair can be used for different purposes;
• variety of designs - a wide range of colors and accessories (pillows, baskets for toys) allows the product to harmoniously fit into any interior;
• environmental friendliness and safety - the structure is made of solid birch, there is no negative impact on the body;
• Easy to maintain - just wipe the chair regularly with a damp cloth.

Kidfix is ​​suitable even for the tiniest users who have just learned to sit (for safe use you will need to purchase special restraints). Both a schoolchild and an adult can comfortably fit on it, the main thing is that the person’s weight does not exceed 100 kg.

Advantages and disadvantages

Chairs with adjustable height are gaining popularity among Russian families. Such an item is rightfully considered universal. Since it is used up to adolescence, replacing several furniture of different ages.

Among similar products it stands out for its advantages:

• Compact sizes. Do not clutter up the space. They look laconic even in small rooms.
• Mobility. Moves around the apartment, house. The prefabricated design makes it possible to take it to the dacha or a trip to visit relatives.
• Durability. The materials from which the furniture is made are designed for intensive use for 10-16 years.
• Change of size. Thanks to the adjustable seat height, it is suitable for children from infancy to 16 years.

The disadvantage is the cost. Parents purchase such furniture at a price of 5,000 rubles. This amount is too high for the majority of families. Many people prefer to purchase a more affordable model.
