Consider the most common designs of children's chairs for feeding:
- high stool;
- hanging chair;
- stool-transformer;
- stool-swing;
- chair-booster.
High called children's chairs, adjustable in height, for feeding. They have a removable table, descend and rise, depending on the purposes, often have several degrees of inclination of the back. Due to this, they can sit a baby who is not yet very confident in holding the backrest, or fold back the seat, so that the child sleeps.
The pendant chair is attached to any table top and has a fairly compact shape. Thus, the child can always sit with you at any dining table. Usually it is quite inexpensive. But such a chair does not have a long seat, because it has only one backrest position and does not have a footrest. It is not suitable for older children 2-3 years.
A baby stool-transformer for feeding is a highchair that is placed in a stable stand while used for a small child. Later, when the baby is growing up, two parts can be divided, and a child's table and chair is obtained. Such models are not particularly mobile, but they will last very long, and will be useful for a 2-3 year old child. Very often, such models are made and wood, and not plastic.
Children's swing chair is a multifunctional device. When the child is not sitting, it is convenient to put it in an almost horizontal cradle that swings, or hang rattles to it. When the chair is used for feeding, the seat is fixed, and the backrest inclination is made vertical, so that the baby can fully eat.
The booster chair has the same seat as the high chair, but has no legs. It can be attached to an ordinary chair, sofa or put on the floor. Its plus is mobility.
