The initial position of the transformer chair in height should correspond to the growth of the future student. For example, with a child's height of 1-1.2 m, the seat height should be within 30-32 cm. For a comfortable fit, your feet should be flat on the floor or on the footrest, and the angle formed by the hips and calves should be 90 degrees.

Same way it is important for the child that the chair is not too deep, and there is no strong pressure under the kneesand the seat itself was rounded. But at the same time, you do not need to choose a chair that is too soft. It might even be better if it doesn’t have soft details. The hard seat does not accumulate dust and can be quickly cleaned.

Almost all computer chairs are equipped with armrests, and this is an important element when working at a computer, they support the elbow of the hand when working with a mouse. But while sitting at the school table, the armrests will interfere, since in this case, in order to maintain the correct posture, the hands must be on the table surface.
