This one is too big, this one is too little, this one is just right. Well even if it's been awhile since you've read Goldilocks, when you think about it, she does have a point!
Concentration
You've heard the experts say when a child is seated comfortably in a childrens chair sized just for them they concentrate better and work longer. But kid's measurements vary greatly and they grow so fast, you need to know how to determine the correct fit.
Sizing Guidelines
First of all, when buy childrens chairs you need to consider these two important factors:
 |
- The distance between a childrens chair seat and the table top. Except for the very smallest and very largest children, the measurement between the childrens chair seat and the table should be eight inches.
- The height of the childrens chair seat from the floor. The ideal childrens chair seat height depends on the child's size. The lower leg determines the correct children's seat height. Sit a child comfortably with feet flat on the floor with knees bent at 90 degree angles. Measure from the floor to the bend behind the knee. This is the correct childrens chair height for the child.

Comfy and Content
Using these simple guidelines when purchasing childrens chairs will help ensure good posture and free arm movement. With chairs sized just for them, kids can work on table activities like drawing, coloring and working on crafts in comfort.
When they can work in comfort in chairs sized just for them, kids are happy, absorbed and more content. And we all want that!
