Our task was to create an adjustable high chair for an above average-sized child. 67
The mother has requested a custom high chair with adjustable height for their 3.5 year old son. The chair must also have a tray for eating that can easily be attached and removed. The chair will mostly rest on hardwood floors. The child also holds on to the back of existing chairs, so this area will be strengthened.
This design is based on an existing chair with an adjustable height. The design uses a pair of sliding mechanisms to adjust the seat and footrest. It also features a removable tray for food for ease of cleaning and a lowering harness with cushions as the child likes compression.
This design uses a crank attached to a worm gear to provide an easy way for the parent to raise and lower the seat. Guides are attached to the main body of the chair that align with slots in the legs to keep the chair steady.
This design is based on an existing chairs but with certain differences. It was made sure it was easier for the mother to clean by making the tray easier to remove as well as make sure the step/footrest is adjustable for the child to get into the seat himself. There’s designs incorporating the child’s interests, for him to be more enthusiastic to take a seat.

Since designs 1 and 2 in the Excel were very similar, we decided to consolidate them into one design.
