Knock down kids chair prototype #1

[Ajcoholic]

I made this chair for my son, who is nearly 1. I want to make a similar chair sized in three varying sizes for infants, toddlers and little kids.

12mm Baltic Birch. No hardware, the back and seat press through the sides, and then with a light tap slide back and down (seat and back respectively).

Very secure, sturdy and should be relatively cheap.

I am trying to design and line of kids tables, chairs, etc for a local store.

Thanks for showing us that. Very nice project!

Thanks!

Here is my son, Joseph, enjoying his new seat.



I actually hand cut the first prototype, just from scrap 1/2" ply on the band saw. Sat Joe in the chair, and then changed some measurements to better suit him. Then drew it up in Aspire. Pretty quick to do... God I love having this new CNC capability in my woodworking shop!

AJ - Looks great! I can see a rocker variant with a few clicks of the mouse...

I took a couple of the chairs today, to the local childrens store (private, higher end kids stuff). The owner was pretty cool with the chair, and the first thing she asked was can I do a rocker

I will be making a little larger chair, and a rocker to match. I dont think making a rocker for a 1 yr old is too good of an idea.. more for a 2 to 3 yr old.

Eugene,
Are you referring to my chairs, or to the rocker of Greg Smith's?

Id share with you if you want my file.
