For every parent, sooner or later the question arises of increasing the functionality of children's furniture. All interior items in the nursery must become real transformers in order to justify the money spent on them and not stand unused. In addition, modern inventions can partially free the hands of busy mothers, turning them into a chair, a swing, or a whole set of furniture.

The first step is to assemble the chair, and then you can move on to assembling the table, which will be much easier to assemble.

Often, such devices can complicate the life of parents while they figure out how to assemble them after purchase. An ordinary children's high chair will be no exception. Of course, it is easy to assemble a high chair as indicated in the instructions, but it is not always included, and even if it is, it is not always clear to the user.

How to assemble a children's high chair "Agu"

All children's stores sell children's furniture in disassembled form, except in cases where the last piece is left on the display. To assemble the Agu model high chair at home yourself, you need to remove all the components from the box, including the Euroscrews with a special key for them. Small parts are already assembled into large parts, which makes the task easier. The easiest way is to start assembling the chair and then move on to the table.

The chair has two armrests with triple vertical wooden rods. The edge to which the rods are closest is considered the front. Connect the armrests with a transverse wooden strip, screwing it with two bolts in front of the armrests, from below. After this, the base for the high chair will be stable. Next, you should install the soft seat of the high chair into the base so that the limiter strap is in front and below. Wooden crossbars already screwed to the bottom of the soft seat.

Its seat is secured with four bolts, and the back to the armrests with two. Now all that remains is to install the plastic tabletop, which is placed on top and snaps into place with grooves in its bottom on the armrests. On the left armrest there is a plastic adjuster for the distance of the table top. It's time to move on to assembling the table or high chair stand.

To do this, you need to connect two identical parts, reminiscent of the Roman numeral II, perpendicular to each other. On them, the places where the bolts are connected are marked with dashes. Then place the resulting structure on legs and screw the remaining part with a solid wall to form a stable structure. Connect the legs with two jumpers and secure them with bolts. This completes the assembly.

To make the high chair higher, you need to turn the table with the table top backwards and place the chair and plastic table top on top. To make a set, lower the chair to the floor again, remove the plastic tabletop, and move in a table with a wooden tabletop.

How to assemble a baby high chair “Baby” with your own hands

Initially, you need to remove all the feeding parts from the box and lay them out on the table. It can be immediately noted that there are much more individual parts than in the previous example, but each of them is numbered - table parts with numbers from 2 to 9, chair parts from 11.

Euroscrews with a key should also be included in the kit. To start assembling a high chair, you need to arrange all the components in numerical order into table and chair parts separately. Then you need to align and bolt the parts with holes numbered with the same numbers, starting with 12. Then connect the parts with mark 13. Next, fasten the holes numbered 11 and 14, respectively. After this, you should get a part consisting of four separate elements.

Assemble the second part in the same way, alternately connecting the same configurations of numbers, then connect these parts with a crossbar.

Now you can assemble the high chair by screwing a soft seat to the resulting wooden base, while the crossbar should be under the child’s legs, and the limiter strap should hang down. The seat is secured with six bolts. The last step in assembling the high chair will be screwing wooden table top two bolts to the armrests. An additional hole in the armrest will allow you to easily adjust the position of the tabletop in the future by moving it away or moving it closer to the child and twisting it.

Thus, the high chair is assembled, all that remains is a stand or table for it. The logic for collecting is the same. Select four elements with cell numbers 3 and screw them together. The result should be a part in the shape of the letter H. The second similar part should be twisted in the same way from four elements according to the numbering of cells 3. Only the attachment of the last element of the part will differ, it will be numbered 2 and will not be twisted joint to joint, but as a result of superimposing one strip on another.

All that remains is to assemble the feeding table by connecting all the large parts. First you need to combine the table top with the leg by twisting the cells numbered 5. Add a third part and twist the cells numbered 6. Secure the resulting structure with two wooden planks with cell numbers 4. After assembly, be sure to check the strength of all connections, additionally tightening them with a wrench. It is not recommended to tighten the bolts too tightly, as this can shorten the service life of the product and increase wear on threaded connections.

To make a high chair for feeding a child, a chair with a soft seat must be placed on a table, and its table top should be under the legs in front or behind, as the parents wish. And to get a set of furniture, you need to lower the chair, for convenience, unscrew the small tabletop from it and move a large table on the floor.

The feeding procedure should be as comfortable as possible both for the child himself and for the one who feeds him. It was for this purpose that a table was made, at which you can not only feed the baby, but also play and study with him. The stable design of the chairs is as safe as possible for small penis family, which means mommy doesn’t have to worry about whether her child is okay. You will learn how to assemble a high chair from this article.

The need for a high chair

A huge number of both young and already wise parents will tell you with confidence that such a chair is simply necessary for activities with their baby. It’s not surprising, because this design has a huge number of positive properties:

What should a chair be like?

Before assembling the feeding table, you need to decide what material it will be made of. Nowadays, both plastic and wooden models. Of course, each row has its pros and cons.

Wooden high chair

Children's products made from natural wood have always been more highly valued than their counterparts. You can’t argue with this, because even a highchair has a huge number of positive features:

• There are sharp edges and corners - this is unsafe for a child.
• Caring for the surface is quite difficult.

Plastic chairs

Most often, young parents do not know how to assemble a plastic high chair. This is not surprising, because there are several times more parts and functions in it than in the previous version.

The advantages of a plastic table include:

• You can choose a color to match the interior.
• Has many designs.
• This design can easily turn into a chaise lounge.
• It has rounded edges - this reduces the risk of childhood injuries several times.

There are three main models:

• Transformer. The height of the tabletop and chair can be adjusted, and the angle of inclination of the structure can also be changed. Such an assistant can become a workplace for the baby when he grows up a little.
• Booster. This model is autonomous and can be attached to the floor or an adult chair.
• Suspension. This design weighs on average 2 kilograms. Using a lever and long handles This design can be easily attached to the table.

Let's move on to assembling the table

Many parents, having made a purchase for their child, cannot figure out how to assemble a high chair. This is understandable, because all models, as a rule, are sold disassembled.

Before the assembly procedure you will need the following materials:

• Wooden crossbars.
• Soft seat for baby.
• Small and large countertops.
• Euroscrews and a key for them.

“Agu”

In order to assemble such a mini-installation, you must first remove all the parts from the packaging. As a rule, the first step is to assemble the chair itself - the rest of the work will not be so difficult.

This model of chairs has two armrests, which in turn have triple vertical wooden rods. The edge located closest to these rods is called the anterior edge.

• Connect the armrests using a wooden crossbar. You need to turn it with two bolts from the front side of the armrests from below.
• Attach a wooden crossbar to the bottom of the seat.
• Place the soft pad in the base so that the seat belt is on both the front and bottom.
• Secure the seat with four bolts, the back and armrests with two.
• Now all that remains is to assemble the feeding table. For this purpose, the tabletop must be placed on top and snapped into place with grooves in its bottom directly on the armrests.

Important! On the left armrest there is a plastic regulator, which determines the distance of the baby’s desk.

• Now you need to make a stand for the table. For this purpose, you need to connect together two identical parts in the set (you will notice them immediately) perpendicular to each other.

Important! The connection points are marked with strokes that you will immediately notice.

• Place the almost finished structure on its legs, screw the very last part with the wall - the structure must remain stable.
• Connect the legs of the structure using the remaining jumpers and secure everything with bolts.

Assembly is complete.

“Baby”

Before assembling the “Baby” high chair, you need, as in the first example, to lay out all the parts in front of you. There will be much more of them here than described above, but the advantage of these details is that they are all already numbered (2-9 - parts of the tabletop; 11 and more - parts of the chair).

The collection process is as follows:

• Arrange all the parts by numbering separately from each other.
• Align and twist parts with holes that have the same serial numbers, starting with the number 12.
• Connect the parts numbered 13.
• Fasten the holes of parts 11 and 14 respectively. The end result will be a 4-piece piece.

Important! The second part is assembled in the same way - the configuration of the same numbers is connected one by one, then these parts are connected together using a crossbar.

• Now it is possible to assemble a high chair by attaching a soft seat for your child to a wooden base - the crossbar should be between his legs, and the safety strap should hang down. The seat must be secured with six bolts.
• The last stage of the initial assembly of the structure is attaching the table to the armrests using two bolts.
• Next, the stand for the table is assembled. To do this, select 4 elements with cell numbers 3, screw them together with bolts. As a result, you will get a part that resembles the letter H in appearance.
• The second part is twisted in the same way according to the numbering of the same cells.
• Ultimately, all that remains is to assemble the feeding table by connecting the main assembly parts.

Important! Do not tighten the bolts too tightly - this can cause rapid wear of the entire structure.

The dining chair is an original structure that can easily be converted into a place for play or learning. Stable design equipped additional measures protection that will protect the little one from falling out and give the mother the opportunity to do household chores.

Is this chair really necessary?

Most young parents will answer unequivocally - yes!

This unanimity is due to a number of factors:

• the small-sized design is complemented by adjustable games, which means saving space in the apartment;
• there are chairs with a long-term future that can be used for at least 6 years - there are obvious cost savings;

• a certain freedom of movement combined with minimizing traumatic situations - a healthy psychological atmosphere;

Plastic or natural materials

The wooden table and high chair, which appeared several centuries ago, serves as the basic model for the production of plastic products. Needless to say, each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Wooden chair

Product from natural material beautiful in appearance, looks good in any environment and is distinguished by:

• strength,
• durability;
• environmental friendliness;
• aesthetics.

The functionality of wooden chairs is more modest and mainly consists of the ability to:

• adjusting the backrest angle;
• transformation from a low table with a chair to a high chair.

The disadvantages of the design include:

• bulkiness even when folded, which is unacceptable for a small apartment;

• Cases are not always included;
• presence of edges and corners;
• some difficulties in caring for the surface.

Pay attention!
Assurances that wooden high chairs are heavy and expensive are unfounded.
The analysis showed that the average weight of the product is 8–12 kg (the average weight of plastic ones is from 6 to 12.5 kg).
Domestic models - “Malysh”, “Ksenia” cost about 2,000 rubles, “Chinese” - from 5 to 18,000 rubles.
So everything is relative.

Plastic chairs

The possibilities of plastic are much wider and the product has:

• rich color palette;
• a wide variety of performances;
• possibility of turning into a sun lounger;

• rounded lines that significantly reduce the risk of injury;
• soft case made of waterproof material.

Pay attention!
Main disadvantage plastic product lies in its artificiality.
Low price and too bright colors should arouse your suspicion, and you have the right to demand a quality certificate, relying on the integrity of the manufacturer.

Plastic chairs have three models:

• transformer - adjustable height of the chair and tabletop, can be folded, change the angle of the backrest. When the child grows up, the structure can easily be turned into a separate table and chair, which will become a workplace for the child;
• booster is a free-standing model that can stand on the floor or be attached to a regular chair;

• hanging - weighs about 2 kg, thanks to the elongated handles and a special lever, it is easily attached to the tabletop and can “travel” with you and your child.

Let's do our best for the baby

It won’t be too difficult for a craftsman to do it. You can buy blanks for parts at a hardware store, and ask friends for the missing tools. You can choose sizes that will fit into the square footage of your apartment and come up with your own design for the product and soft cover.

Pay attention!
Without carpentry skills, you can learn before starting work design features products in the store, study the assembly instructions, make the necessary notes and even sketch out a rough drawing wooden high chair for feeding, which you can improve at home.

You will need these tools:

• hammer;
• saw;
• jigsaw;
• drill;
• clamp;
• chisel;
• sandpaper;
• stapler;
• hammer.

In number necessary materials includes:

• a 2 cm thick board for planks and curves on the handles (for the part to be strong, the wood fibers must intersect an imaginary radius at an angle of 90°);

1. Cut the crossbars from the same board.
2. Sand the workpieces.
3. Mark the connection points - curves with fragments of railings and crossbars with legs.
4. Make holes for the dowels by drilling several holes nearby with a thin drill and adjusting the size with a chisel.

Pay attention!
Manufacturing small parts may prove difficult.
It will be easier to buy them in the store.
If you cut them yourself, do not mix them up - the diameter of each hole must exactly match its dowel.

Now you can start assembling the product:

1. Connect the side parts - legs with crossbars. Place the dowels on glue.
2. Check that the articulation angle is correct.
3. Secure with a clamp and leave to dry for as long as recommended in the instructions for use.
4. In the same way, connect the resulting H-shaped fragments with top part handrails and curves.
5. Fix and let the glue dry.

1. Sand the finished sides.
2. Cut out several parts of the back and seat from a sheet of fiberboard - 2-3 layers will give them strength.
3. Glue them together with PVA.
4. Place under a press and leave to dry.
5. Connect the side parts of the chair with transverse strips at the bottom and at the level of the back, in order to mark the places of their connection, as well as the seat and back.

1. Upholster the seat and back with easy-to-care and hygienic material, placing foam rubber underneath for softness. You can secure the material from the inside out using a stapler.
2. Safety straps.
3. Now thoroughly connect the side parts with transverse strips on which to place the seat. The backrest is attached to a support bar.

1. Sand the surface and coat with varnish.

Pay attention!
Do not forget about the mandatory presence of safety straps, for which you can use, for example, grosgrain ribbon (sold at a sewing supply store).
