With the advent of a new member of the family, each parent buys his baby only quality clothes and toys. Parents have to buy a lot of things for their child, including children's furniture. To my great regret, choosing something suitable is not always realistic: if the price is acceptable, then the quality does not meet expectations. And when the quality of children's furniture meets all the requirements, the cost of such a highchair for feeding is too high. For the head of the family, who knows how to work with wood, making such furniture independently will not be difficult.

Feeding tables for toddlersthere are different, in this article we will consider how to make a children's table transformer for feeding. This model is popular with most parents. The basic requirements for children's furniture are the choice of quality materials, safety and strength of the structure.
What materials are needed for
Reliability and security is the main thing that must be taken into account not only when choosing finished furniture, but also if you decide to make something with your own hands. The table should be stable, the surface( table top, seat) and all other details - smooth, without cracks, bumps and other visible defects. Since it is necessary to work with natural material - wood, then the choice of the basis for making children's furniture should be approached thoroughly. So, for children it is better to choose soft breeds: pine, spruce or linden. To work with such material it is easy, by the way, the linden is more durable than the wood of coniferous species.
Before starting to cut the workpieces, it is necessary to carefully inspect each board and, just in case, treat the surface with fine-grained sandpaper.
In addition to nazhdachki you need to prepare tools for working on wood: this is a standard set of joiner tools, as well as fasteners( nails or screws), plus choose a safe paint or varnish( pay attention to the packaging, we need a varnish or paint marked "Not toxic").Acrylic paint will do. Be prepared for the fact that your kid will not only use furniture for eating, most likely, he will even try the tree "in the teeth."So to the choice of finishing materials we approach as much as possible responsibly.
Kinds of highchairs for feeding
Having reached six months of age, the child begins to show interest in food, parents increasingly take with them to the table of the baby. Sit alone on the chair crumb is not yet able to keep a grown-up karapuza in his arms heavily, so the baby needs to be seated in a special highchair table. There he will be comfortable and safe. Mom can not worry, her baby will not fall, because in different models of high chairs for the provision of fixers - special straps that keep fidget.
The principle of children's furniture designed for feeding babies is the same - it is usually a universal design - the table can be made high so that the baby is on par with the parents at the table. Mom and Dad are so much more comfortable to feed the baby. You can fold the chair, then the table will be on the same level as the chair. This option is also like parents, the child can be fed and left to sit at the table, so he played a little.
In the shops you can see different versions of children's tables and chairs made of durable plastic, metal and wood. The principle is the same for all, only there are classical high chairs, but there are transformers. As the child grows up, the chair can be used not only for feeding, but also for games and classes. The chair-transformer is very practical and will help parents, starting from the age of 6 months, up to the first class.

How to make a children's table for feeding
We offer to make independently a universal table and a highchair for feeding children, which can also be used as a desk for lessons( when the baby grows up).To work, you need to prepare a wooden beam( section 40 x 20 cm), as well as solid boards( thickness of 2 cm).In addition, you will also need a sheet of fiberboard( standard sizes).
The beam is useful for cutting out the support parts for making a highchair, you need to cut the rounded parts from the board( taking into account the handles for the highchair).The seat is made from a sheet of fiberboard( you need to cut the seat of the desired size), as well as for the table. By the way, for the table you can use other material. Suitable sheet of plywood, chipboard with the effect of lamination or classic wood.
When it is not possible to purchase all the necessary materials in the store, you should not postpone the idea of making a children's feeding table for your favorite child. For work, you can use old boards( only that they are not rotten), dismantle an old cabinet or chair. In any case, each owner will find at home not only the entire instrument, but also the material. Only if you work with old materials, then pay more attention to the preparatory process - every detail needs to be carefully processed, smooth out all irregularities and remove flaws.
What you need to make a highchair:
- for the legs you need a wooden bar length of 40 cm - 4 pcs.;
- rounded parts need to make 4 pcs.;
- for the production of crossbeams, also a bar, 35 cm long - 2 pieces;
- for the upper crossbeams, cut the beam into 2 equal lengths, each 22 cm long - 2 pieces;

To make a table, prepare the following:
- for legs - wooden bar( length 50 cm) - 4 pieces;
- straps - 40-41 cm - 4 pieces;
- cross bars - 35 cm each - 4 pieces;
- countertop( dimensions 38 x 45 cm) - 1 pc.
How to correctly make the details of
Preparatory work is the most difficult and painstaking, not suffering fuss. Therefore, we reserve ourselves with patience and begin. In order to find the right size, you need to cut a wooden beam. All without exception, the details need to be treated with sandpaper.
To obtain rounded parts, you must first transfer the drawing with a pencil to the board and according to the scheme, carefully mark out all details on the markings.
Warning! To ensure that all parts are strong, it is necessary that the wood fibers are located perpendicular to the corners of the rounding.
To connect the cut out details it is necessary with the help of fasteners and all the places are additionally treated with furniture glue.
If you use dowels( furniture "chopiki" made of wood) as a fastener, first you need to drill holes in the tree, 3-4 cm deep.
Assembling the side parts of the
First you need to assemble the right side part( or left, it's notin principle).Prepare such details:
- rounding - 2 pcs.;
- legs - 2 pieces;
- crossbar( bottom and top).
First you need to prepare the connecting elements( wooden dowels) and glue the fasteners with glue, as well as holes. The legs are assembled and connected to the lower crossbar of the high chair. Check the result of the work, you can use the building corner. It is very important that the angles are the same( 90 ° C).
Now we collect the upper crossbar: connect it with two rounds, glaze with glue. We are waiting for him to grab for further work. It is enough to wait only 30-40 minutes, and then tighten the clamp with the finished structure. Leave the workpiece for at least a day to dry the tree.
The assembly of the second sidewall is similar. Do not forget to process the sides of the chair nazhdachkoy( at the initial stage in preparing the details).
Assembling the seat and the backrest
Prepare 6 identical parts( can be cut out of chipboard), dimensions 30 x 25 cm. Round the corners( two) to make the radius 0.5 cm. The ends of each workpiece must be cleaned to make them smooth. Take 3 identical parts, apply well each glue, connect and put any heavy object on top. We need to ensure that the blanks are firmly connected to each other. We made the seat.
Now the backrest - cut out the desired workpiece and fasten it to the seat with screws and corners. 
Assemble the
chair. Ready-made sidewalls need to be connected with slats( length 30 cm).In order not to get confused, you need to make marks with a simple pencil and drill holes for fasteners( furniture dowels).
Now the bars: they also need to drill holes( 4 pcs.), And in the bar that holds the back of the chair, also make the same number of holes( 2 pcs at the end and 2 in the bar to be attached to the back).
In the side parts you will need to make 2 holes to fix the bar and back, and 2 more to fix the countertop.
Do not rush to connect everything immediately and glue it with glue - first make a test assembly to see if you've collected everything correctly. If everything is true, there are no distortions, then you can put all the details on the furniture glue. Wait until the glue dries. And only after that you can polish the surface completely, and then apply a coat of paint or varnish.
Assembling table
Now you need to collect another part of the table-transformer - to assemble the table. To do this, the legs must be connected to the lower and upper bars. The length of each bar is 41 cm. The side parts need to be fixed using cross bars( the length of each bar is 34 cm).On the right or left side, you need to install and fasten the countertop.
Now you need to do the same and collect the right side of the table, mark the place for the fasteners, drill a hole to insert the wooden plugs.
It remains to assemble the rest of the parts, check each corner for the strength of the joint and only after that you can smear each part with glue. Then you can start assembling the side parts. For this, it is necessary to fix these parts with cross bars so that they are located to each other. Everything, you can insert the countertop, and then walk across the surface of the table with a sandpaper. Now it remains to handle varnish and this part of children's furniture - a table for feeding.
This is probably all, but there are some nuances. We ourselves love to have breakfast, lunch and supper as comfortable as possible. This applies to the seating position - a kitchenette or a stool, adults choose with a soft seat. For the child, too, you will need to sew a soft seat. To do this, you need to cut out of foam rubber a square of the same size as the seat of the chair, wrap the foam with a soft cloth, and, best of all, with artificial leather, so that the care of children's furniture does not take much time. If there is no foam, fold a sintepon into several layers, wrap it with a dense cloth and with a furniture stapler, fix the edges on the inside of the chair.
Wooden children's table for feeding is ready, you can put the baby and feed the delicious porridge.

We offer you to watch this video to learn more about the stages of creating a highchair:
Simplified version of the highchair
What if there is no possibility to make a high-grade wooden highchair for the child feeding independently? Do not despair, do this yourself by the strength of each mom. Let's sew the device for the baby's feeding together. The cost of such a simple, at first glance, soft highchair in children's stores is quite high, we will try to sew it ourselves. Will win such a soft chair at a party, transportation and travel.
Externally the design is quite simple - it's a soft case with holes and straps. He is put on a standard chair with a high back and fixed with fasteners.
The scheme of this simple device is quite simple: only 2 parts - a chair cover with a so-called pocket and two holes - to fit inside the child.
What you need to cook for work:
- thick fabric. Cotton will do, you can take old jeans or a linen shirt. Prepare 2 m of fabric;
- strong braid - 3 m;Carbine buckles
- - 3 pcs.
Needles, threads, scissors, centimeter tape, pencil and sewing machine are also needed.
Once again, carefully study the pattern of cutting the fabric. The width of the pocket in which the child will sit should be equal to the width of the back of the chair. The diagram shows standard sizes, plus or minus 2-3 cm with a margin, so that you can attach such a chair to a car seat or chair while on a visit.
The fabric can be used either, it's okay if it's fabric cuts of different colors and textures. You need to cut only 2 parts and sew them together with a simple seam. It is desirable that the dense fabric is inside( this is a smaller piece), and the lining is located outside( large part).
And once again we carefully look at the pattern - we see that there is a fold at the top. This means that the fabric in this place needs to be tucked and stitched. You should get a handbag without pens or a bag. He is put on a chair and tied with a strong braid( to be stitched in advance).Do not forget about slippers - they must reliably hold the baby under the handles. Ljamochki from shoulders to fall down should not then it is possible to not worry about safety of the child during feeding.
You have children or you just stand at the planning stage, in any case you will not be interfered with by both versions of the highchair: the first will always help you at home, and the second one can be taken with you if you have planned a visit to your parents, friends, or go tojourney.
