Highchairs
As a parent today we have many options and alternative highchairs to choose from. There are highchairs which provide various levels of support. There are highchairs which are manufactured in various materials, such as wood or plastic. And there are highchairs which are created in various forms, such as traditional highchair, and booster chair.
More than security, your child’s posture, sense of balance, and carriage are all developed whilst sitting. The ergonomically designed highchair is able to facilitate correct posture, provide support, and balance, without strain or discomfort to the back.
When your child is sitting correctly, the highchair should allow your child´s elbows to be alligned with the table. Elevated at this correct height, your child can eat, play, and interact with you and your family, without fear of unbalancing the highchair. Sitting optimally, the depth of the seat plate should allow two-thirds of your childs upper leg to be rested. Your child´s feet should also be supported by a foot plate that provides adjustability in height and depth to ensure the ideal 90 degree angle of upper and lower legs. Seated this way, your child is able to move and shift position with little effort as well as sit sit more comfortably.
Sitting upright at an early age is not natural for your child and can easily make them restless. This is most often fueled by the lack of support given by the highchair to your child's feet. Some highchairs provide no footrest support at all, leaving your child´s feet dangling and adrift. Without complete support your child is more restricted from moving, shifting their weight, and adjusting their position.
The majority of highchairs that do provide a footrest, often lack adjustability. The ideal footrest should be able to move independently from the seat, allowing full flexibility of the highchair to accommodate the unique growth of your child. However, with limited, and restricted options for adjustment, many of today’s highchairs are only designed to accommodate your child for a short period of time. Forcing you to purchase several chairs and booster seats to accomodate for your child's development and growth.
Most every highchair provides secure seating for your child, and so ultimately the decision in choosing the right highchair is made in the chair's ability to provide the fullest adjustability in both seating height and depth in supporting and accomodating your child's growth and development.
Tripp Trapp is more than a highchair, it is the complete seating solution that adjusts and grows with your child. And throughout your child's infancy, childhood and teenage years, you'll discover that the Tripp Trapp children's chair is the only chair your child will ever need.
