Review of child seat adjustments: ergonomics that always fit

Orthopedic furniture — like a business suit: produces an effect only when fitted properly. Adults do not change much, so most of the parameters need only be adjusted once. But children's models should grow with young riders. So without fine-tuning can not do.

This is what the multi-mechanism BASIC provides — a slightly simplified version of the adult MultiSynchro. Contrary to the name, it guarantees not just basic, but comprehensive health care. Consider the available adjustments.

Common

Height. Pull up the first lever on the right. Depending on whether the child is sitting in the chair, it will drop or rise. Adjust it so that the feet reach the floor or the RING BASE stand, and the angle between the legs and hips is close to 90 °. After all, excessive pressure on the back of the thighs is fraught with impaired blood flow.

The level of the footrest. Position it as recommended above by loosening the lock on the left. The stand is indispensable for young children who are forced to sit at an adult table without the ability to adjust the height of the table top. In such cases, it is necessary to increase the height of the chair. Thanks to the RING BASE, the legs will not be left without support.

Tilt angle. Pull the lever to the left — and at your disposal one of 7 positions in the range from 90 to 140 °. To lock it, return the lever to its original position. The angle between the seat and back with this adjustment remains unchanged. The first 2 positions are recommended for working at the table, and the rest for relaxation in the chair.

Back

Tilt angle. The same 7 positions from 90 to 140 °, but relative to the seat, not the floor. Management — the second lever on the right. The choice of angle is individual, but for orthopedic backs, 95–110 ° is considered optimal. Let the child determine the most comfortable position experimentally.

Height. As many as 11 positions — enough stock for a growing body. Raise the backrest with moderate effort until it clicks. To lower it, you have to reach the extreme upper position — and only then return to the very bottom. The main reference point of the correct setting is the lumbar support zone at the level of the waist.

The angle of the headrest. At the same time influencing the height: 10 positions to place it at the level of the head and thus secure the cervical spine. Adjust again with a little effort until it clicks.

Armrests

Height. Press the button on the outside and select one of 5 positions. It is important that the forearms and wrists are on the same line. Otherwise, your child risks to earn tunnel syndrome over time. Of course, to avoid scoliosis, both armrests must be placed at the same height.

7 adjustment parameters, from 5 to 11 positions for each, or even the ability to choose an arbitrary — total endless number of combinations, among which you will definitely find the perfect configuration for your child. Let him extract the maximum benefit and comfort from his new chair.
