Materials and tools

If you are really thinking about creating a child seat, then first you need to think through everything, read articles on this topic and, most importantly, prepare all the items necessary for the work. Depending on the chosen model, they can be supplemented, but the main accessories are as follows:

1. Pencil with a ruler for drawing.
2. Thick fabric.
3. Scissors.
4. Zipper or rope to close the bag.
5. Soft and pleasant filling.

The essence of creating a product is to sew together two pieces of fabric and fill them from the inside with synthetic material.

Stages of work

The manufacturing process does not take much time and is quite simple to perform. The whole work consists of constructing a pattern, cutting the fabric, sewing the bag and filling it with synthetic material:

1. Pattern. Draw an image of the desired shape on graph paper. A pear-shaped piece or a regular bag is best suited for this. You can choose the sizes individually according to the baby’s height.
2. Cut out the fabrics.Transfer all dimensions from the pattern to the fabric with a special chalk or a piece of pointed soap and cut the required part along the lines with scissors. Don't forget to take fabric with extra seams.
3. Creating a bag. Sew the two resulting flaps around the perimeter. Leave the top open; we will place the filler in it.
4. Filling. Place all the synthetic filling inside through the unstitched edge. Load the bag 2/3 full to prevent it from tearing under the weight when someone sits on it.
5. We close the chair. Thread a zipper through the hole so you can open the bag at any time. You can use a thick rope and use it to tie the neck. Both methods are perfect for closing the structure.

This option will have clear edges and a base. It will require additional equipment and the process itself will take more time, but this design will be more reliable and convenient for a small child. Soft frameless options have a simple design, are easy to wash and can be easily lifted and moved.

Models with a frame have more complex designs. But such a thing will last longer and will stand securely without changing its shape, which will protect against falls and injuries.

ATTENTION! The base can be upholstered with a special thick fabric over foam rubber and decorative figures of your favorite characters can be made.

Manufacturing process

The first step is to create the correct drawing, according to which further work will be carried out. To do this, according to the dimensions, create a diagram of the future chair on graph paper.

After the preparatory part and construction of the plan, you can begin to implement it:

1. According to the drawing, cut out the necessary parts: frame, racks, curly side parts and seat.
2. Make the base in the shape of a semicircle with a height of approximately 600–700 mm.
3. Attach tall blocks to the center of the back and to both corners. Attach a block half as long in the middle of the front edge.
4. After this, create a frame and a seat from hardboard. Saw off the rectangles and attach them to the base using self-tapping screws.
5. Cover the entire structure with foam rubber.
6. Finally, cover the chair with thick, colorful fabric. This is easy to do using a construction stapler or push pins.
