It can sometimes be confusing to pick out chairs for children.

What size seat height should I order?

Well, here is how to answer that question.

The best way is always to measure the child who will be using the chair.

When properly sized to the child, the child should be able to sit with their feet flat on the floor and their upper legs should be parallel with the floor.

With the child seated, measure from the floor to the back of the child’s knee.

This measurement is the proper seat height.

Since chairs do not come in infinite sizes, usually 2″ increments, you will need to use your best judgment to decide between sizes.

Typical sizes for children’s chairs are 8″ 10″ 12″ 14″ and 16″.

Jonti-Craft has many cubbies and storage items available in two configurations, the standard JC line and the TK, or ThriftyKYDZ line.

What is the difference?

The standard, or JC line is shipped assembled and carries a longer warranty from Jonti-Craft, there are some exceptions but it is usually lifetime.

The TK, or ThriftyKYDZ line is shipped unassembled in a knockdown configuration. The items in this line carry a much shorter warranty, there are some exceptions but it is usually one year.

The TK line, being unassembled, is cheaper to ship as it takes up less space and the product price is cheaper. The product is exactly the same, only the warranty and shipping configuration is changed.

This can be a great way to get Jonti-Craft quality at a cheaper price, but please be aware of the warranty differences when purchasing.

As all mothers know, feeding two or more babies at the same time can be a real interesting experience.  We have the right tool for the job; play & feed tables.  The two manufacturers that we represent, McCourt and Royal, offer seating options for 3, 4, and 6 children.  For more information, go to: http://www.preschoolfurniturestore.com/group.asp?grp=127.  A variety of table top and bucket seat color options are also available. 

Of great importance is the construction of Little Pals, and Play & Feed tables.  Babies love to squirm, and if you have several squirmers at the same table, it can resemble a minor earthquake.  Look carefully at the legs used on these tables.  They are built to withstand a lot of movement and weight without the possibility of collapsing.  Safety is rule one; stability, rule two.
