How to choose correctly?

When choosing a grow-to-size chair, there are several key criteria to consider.

Purpose. If the design is chosen for a child under five years old, it is worth paying attention to models with a limiter. They will ensure safe use. For schoolchildren, it is worth choosing chairs with soft seats. School-age children spend a lot of time at the table. Their stay there should be as comfortable as possible.

Product weight. The design should have an optimal weight for movement. Before purchasing, it is better to hold the product in your hand to choose the most suitable option.
Cost. Parents should understand that orthopedic furniture is not cheap. Too low a price may indicate poor quality of the product. Such goods may even be dangerous. It is better to buy models at a high price. They will be able to serve longer, better, and safer. Moreover, the service life of the goods is not limited.
Ease of use. The main quality of good furniture is ease of transformation. Preference should be given to products with a simple, reliable fastener. For example, with large bolts. They are easy to unscrew with a tool. They are more durable, strong. Sawed grooves without additional fasteners may serve less.
Brand. Orthopedists and other specialists recommend giving preference to companies specializing only in the manufacture of orthopedic furniture. Popular companies with a narrow specialization pay more attention to the products. The price of products from such companies is, of course, high.
