The 13 Best Armchairs For Children – Guidebook

Children’s chairs are particularly comfortable, as they are adapted to the height of children. Besides great and fashionable designs, there are some other criteria that you should consider when buying.

In this guide you will find the most important buying criteria, which we have summarized in a clear checklist. Below you will find selected product recommendations so that your child will soon be sitting comfortably in his chair.

Checklist For Armchairs For Children

The Size
  • Chairs for children should invite to play and cuddle, but also give the little ones the beloved feeling of being like an adult in miniature.
  • Therefore, the armchair should always be adapted to the particular proportions of the child.
The Construction
  • Many armchairs for children have a softcore made of foam. Others have a wooden frame or even a frame made of wire.
  • For smaller children, it is recommended to resort to an armchair with foam filling. This not only prevents potential injury hazards but also increases the all-important cuddle factor.
  • Older children who don’t romp around as much are probably better served by an armchair with a sturdy frame. However, these models are also significantly heavier.
  • Extremely lightweight, on the other hand, are inflatable armchairs, but they often have a limited lifespan if used heavily. These armchairs are also more suitable for slightly older children.
The Cover
  • The cover of a child’s chair should ideally be washable or at least washable for hygienic reasons.
  • If the cover is removable, it can usually be easily cleaned in the washing machine. Such covers are usually made of cotton.
  • Covers made of plastic or imitation leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Covers made of microfiber can also be cleaned quite well.
  • If the cover is removable and can be washed, you should avoid using fabric softener, as this can cause irritation to the skin, especially in children.
The Function
  • Some armchairs for children can be transformed into a comfortable reclining surface in just a few easy steps.
  • The armchair usually consists of interconnected foam cushions that can simply be unfolded. Since this usually lacks a lateral boundary, this type of armchair is also more suitable for slightly older children.
Safety
  • Pointed corners and edges as well as protruding parts are a real no-go for children’s armchairs.
  • Another criterion is a safe stand. Under no circumstances should the chair tip over sideways or backwards.
  • Of course, only materials free of harmful substances should have been used.
  • Pay attention to the weight up to which the armchair may be loaded. Most armchairs are designed for a weight up to 30 kg.
