Svan High Chair

It’s fun for the child to sit with the rest of the family at the dining table. It is all right as soon as baby can sit up unaided, which most people can at around six to seven months old. There are two main types of chairs – those in wood and metal with either a fabric or plastics seat. Which type you prefer is personal to it should meet our recommendations that you can read about below.

Security
The chair should stand firmly on the floor and may not be easy to overturn. The minor child needs an arm guard for not slip out of the chair. It should go to attach a so-called anchor, between the chair and table so that no child can kick against the table top and roll over the chair. It is also possible to attach a harness to it. Corners, edges and seizures shall be rounded or that the child can not hurt. Some chairs can be folded and transformed into a racing car. Then it is important that the chair can be locked securely on both sides when standing up. Chairs attached in the table top, so-called hanging chairs, is best suited for travel or for temporary use.

If you open a folded high chair, be sure it is locked in the open position to prevent possible collapse of the furniture and can cause accidents to your child. There is also a good idea to check every part of the seat every time your child uses it. Also make sure the foam covering unless worn so your children can swallow small pieces of foam.

Comfortable for child
It is good if the chair has footrests. It is exhausting for the child to sit long without the support of the feet. It is easier for the youngest children to keep their balance and focus on eating then. The seat height should be 52-57 cm and the backrest should be at least 16 cm high. The seat should be 24-30 cm wide and 20-25 cm depth. Seat edge should be rounded or have recesses for the legs so that the edge does not press the child’s thighs.

Child seats available on the market are made of different materials such as wood, metal and plastic. Most high chairs of all wood has no mechanism for height adjustment.

To grow with the chair
Most chairs can have a child until it is two to three years old. For the child to have the chair no longer need protection shall be removable and footrest and the seat being height adjustable only.

Easy
When a little child will eat it, as we all know, very messy. The more joints, fittings, turned pegs and knobs as chair, the harder it becomes to clean. A smooth surface is easier to clean. The surface must also withstand rough handling and cleaning. It should be detachable and machine washable.

Consumer Agency’s guidelines
All seats shall comply with the Consumer Agency’s guidelines for use and safety. The chair will be marked as follows: Name, trademark or other designation for the identification of either the manufacturer, distributor or retailer.
