Selection Tips
The first rule when choosing a child seat for a school desk is not to buy for growth, even if it is a seat with adjustable height, and it is better to go shopping with your child. The initial position of the transformer chair in height should correspond to the growth of the future student. For example, with a child's height of 1-1.2 m, the seat height should be within 30-32 cm. For a comfortable fit, your feet should be flat on the floor or on the footrest, and the angle formed by the hips and calves should be 90 degrees.
Same way it is important for the child that the chair is not too deep, and there is no strong pressure under the kneesand the seat itself was rounded. But at the same time, you do not need to choose a chair that is too soft. It might even be better if it doesn’t have soft details. The hard seat does not accumulate dust and can be quickly cleaned.
The rigid backrest will keep the child from falling apart and keep the back straight.
Almost all modern models of armchairs are made on casters... Of course, the youngest schoolchildren would be better off buying options without wheels, since too much movement of the chair can be traumatic for these fidgets.
But if a model with wheels is already chosen, then it is important that they are securely fixed.
Almost all computer chairs are equipped with armrests, and this is an important element when working at a computer, they support the elbow of the hand when working with a mouse. But while sitting at the school table, the armrests will interfere, since in this case, in order to maintain the correct posture, the hands must be on the table surface. Therefore, for younger students it is better to choose chairs without armrests.
