High Time to Build Baby Chair

Mealtime is family time, and that means the whole family sits together.

That’s why this high-chair project was designed without a tray, making it possible to slide the chair right up to the dinner table.

Designed to be safe, sturdy and comfortable, the chair features rounded edges and corners, and all screws are recessed and plugged.

Nylon straps keep the child securely in place, and cutouts in the seat allow little legs to fit easily.

Required materials include two small sheets of cabinet-grade plywood, which yield the chair’s six main pieces.

Wood dowels and plugs, nylon belting, a plastic buckle, screws, washers, glue and finish round out the materials list.

Do-it-yourselfers simply trace the pieces onto plywood, cut out, sand, assemble with screws and glue, paint or stain and attach the nylon straps.

The teddy bear design on the seat-back can be traced and then painted or burned into the wood, but the builder can substitute a favorite cartoon character or just leave the chair plain.

The completed high chair measures 28 inches high by 18 inches wide by 19 inches deep.

The high chair plan, No. 820, is $6.95 and includes step-by-step instructions with 17 photos, full-size traceable patterns and a complete shopping list and cutting schedule.
