Comfortable and well-chosen children's furniture is of great importance for maintaining the health of the child. A particularly serious approach is required when you need to purchase a children's computer chair. Not only the correct posture, but also the mood and performance of the student depends on this in many respects. Among the variety of chairs presented today in furniture stores, it can be difficult to navigate, so you should first study the main criteria that you need to pay attention to.
Design
This is one of the main criteria when choosing. The design should be such that the child’s legs abut against the surface of the floor or footboard and are bent at an angle of 90 degrees, and the back of the chair supports the spine, especially in the lumbar region. This will help to form the correct posture and even correct violations that have already appeared.
The correct shape, the angle of inclination of the back and its stiffness play a large role in this. Children's computer chairs often do not have armrests. This helps to
strengthen the back muscles. In addition, it forces the child to sit upright, without leaning on or sagging. But for too mobile toddlers or children who have any violations of posture, it is worth buying a chair with armrests.
Structural strength - a mandatory requirement for furniture designed for children. These fidgets, who love to tidy up and turn around, even manage to ride in a chair. A children's computer chair is equipped, as a rule, with a cross made of very durable plastic or metal. Its radius should be at least 530 mm, which gives greater stability.
With or without castors
For a preschool child , it is recommended to purchase a more stable chair, so it is better if it is without wheels. The kid is not used to spending a long time sitting in one place, and, most likely, will use the chair as a rocking chair or transport.
A children's computer chair for boys and older girls can be purchased on wheels.
Adjustment
The chair should be height adjustable to provide comfort during work, as well as safety for the back and vision. Kids grow quickly, so there must be an adjustment with a large margin. Modern models equipped with a hydraulic lift system also provide good cushioning. You can choose the option with the ability to change the depth of the seat, the height of the back, i.e. almost completely fit the chair for the child, taking into account its anatomical features.
A children's computer chair does not belong to the category of things that should be purchased for growth. Due to a too high back or a large seat, support for the spine is not created, which can negatively affect posture and lead to fatigue. Therefore, if there is no adjustment, the chair must be selected according to the complexion of the child. The headrest, available in some models, will help to avoid pain in the cervical spine. In addition, it will help control the distance from the eyes to the monitor screen, which helps preserve vision.
Environmental friendliness
All modern children's furniture is made, as a rule, from environmentally friendly materials. Children's computer chairs are no exception. In their manufacture using natural fabrics and materials on a natural basis, unable to cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. The best furniture for the child is furniture covered in cotton. In this case, you don’t have to worry about possible overheating or overcooling.
Design
The assortment presented on the market pleases with a variety of color solutions, allows a computer chair to fit into any interior. But first of all, the chair should be to the liking of its small owner. Therefore, it is recommended to plan a trip to the store together with the child and be sure to listen to his opinion. Children like brightly colored furniture featuring favorite fairytale characters and cartoon characters. For example, a children's computer chair for a girl can be purchased in a beautiful pink and white color scheme, decorated with additional decorations. Such a luxurious "throne" will be glad to any little princess.
An excellent solution to the issue of hygiene and cleanliness is removable covers for a child seat, which can always be washed if necessary.
Orthopedic computer chair
Some rehabilitation centers recommend purchasing orthopedic chairs for babies. They have a correction system for various parts of the spine, which prevents the development of osteochondrosis, radiculitis, intercostal neuralgia and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system. A children's computer chair orthopedic transforms as the child grows, placing the back correctly and providing reliable support for the spine. Under any load, it is able to provide comfort and health.
The right choice of chair for your child is an opportunity to help in the formation of proper posture, improve mood and academic performance. This is especially important during the school period, since it was at this time that the foundations of future back health are laid and posture is formed.
There are no standard solutions, therefore, it is necessary to choose a children's computer chair taking into account all the features of a particular child. Knowing the basic principles and selection criteria will help make the most correct decision.
