Chair with adjustable backrest and seat

The device with adjustable soft elements is already a full-fledged office chair for the baby. The backrest and seat are attached to a metal reclining bed. The legs of the product can be conventional stationary or have wheels. It is easy to assume that a child will like a chair with wheels much more.

When choosing a chair and adjusting its elements, you should be repelled from the user's height and position.

The correct position assumes:

1. The angle between the thighs and the torso should be 90 degrees.
2. The back should fit snugly against the back.
3. Feet firmly on the floor or on a stand.
4. The distance from the body to the edge of the tabletop should be equal to the child's clenched fist.

In this position, the load on the spine is minimal, the internal organs are not pinched.

For ease of selection, there is a table of the ratio of seat height and height. Focusing on it, you can choose a writing product without the presence of children:

In addition to the location of the chair elements, it is also important to pay attention to the materials. They should not have strong foreign odors. The presence of a strong unpleasant odor indicates the toxicity of the material. The seller must have the necessary certificates, which will confirm the safety of the materials.
