As you know, child sized furniture industry has only started to expand and pick up pace in the last few years and recliner chairs for kids are a product that’s becoming increasingly popular as a gift for children. The good thing about these recliners are that they are exactly the same in style and functionality as the adult reclining chairs in almost every way.
When shopping for these chairs, just what is the right sized recliner should you get for your child? Well, the good news is that it’s a pretty simple to question to answer as recliner chairs for kids vary in a size only slightly. Most of the time they should be suitable for kids between the ages of 2 and 8 years old and under 100 pounds.
One important thing to keep in mind though, is that it’s not a good idea to buy one of these recliners for your child who are under 2 years of age. Children who are under 2 will often want to stand on the seat of these recliners while holding onto the chair back which can cause the recliner to tip over backwards.
These recliner chairs for kids will also tend to be too small for children who are over 8 years old or more than 100 pounds. As an alternative, parents can consider video chairs for their child who are over 8 years of age.
As the name implies, these recliner chairs for kids are able to recline, but they generally do not have lifting mechanisms and a lever on the right hand side like those adult recliners. To put the chair in the reclining position, the footrest has to be pulled up manually. Your child can accomplish this by themselves but adult help may be needed for younger children.
Pricing wise, recliner chairs for kids that are available for undeer $100 are usually made of pine frame, inexpensive batting and thinner upholstery. These chairs can last about 1 to 2 years if used by a single child. More expensive models are made of hardwood frames, springs and leather or faux leather upholstery. The upholstery may be tacked just like the adult chairs instead of sewn on.
