Finding "The Perfect" Kid Chair
A
kid's chair is probably the second most important piece of furniture you'll get when shopping for
kids' furniture. After the bed, a kids chair is the next piece of furniture they'll spend the most time with and begin to develop a sitting posture for the rest of their life!
Don't overlook your closest option when it comes to buying your next kid chair. More on that in a minute.
You may be buying more than one kids chair, if you need a chair for their studying, and one for dining or for scribbling with their crayons at a plastic artwork table. Garage sales are an excellent place to find fabulous deals on
kids' chairs. Once a kid grows up, people practically throw away their kid's chairs.
Otherwise you can end up spending way too much at an actual local furniture store or when you're shopping online. Make sure you thoroughly consider the garage sale option before you step foot in a store or search online for chairs for your kids. Of course, garage sales will limit your options drastically so you might want to go ahead and find your favorite kid chair and pay a good bit more for that convenience and for getting exactly what you want.
Now, about the posture of your kids, make sure you find the right height of the kid chair for the right age and height of your kid. Make sure their feet do not hang and are able to rest firmly on the ground while they sit up right and back into the chair. Anywhere between 7 1/2 inches to 13 1/2 inches is usually the range you'll be looking at when your kid is between two and five years of age.
Another place you may want to check for kids chairs is on ebay. You can find practically anything you could ever want on that site, and the prices are hard to beat. If you need a table to go along with the chair make sure you check out our other articles on
