BuddyChair – A seating aid for children that offers greater stability, guidance, and participation

Developed from real-world experience, manufactured with care

The BuddyChair is a specially designed, height-adjustable children’s chair for children who need additional support while sitting—such as those with trunk hypotonia, trisomy 21, or other impairments affecting sitting stability. Its side supports provide stability and orientation, enabling an upright, stable sitting position and thus promoting independence and active participation in everyday activities—whether in a circle of chairs, at the table, or at home. At the same time, the BuddyChair remains a completely normal children’s chair: children sit at eye level with others, right in the middle of the action rather than just on the sidelines.

Developed from the everyday therapeutic practice of a pediatric physical therapist in collaboration with an engineer, the BuddyChair is manufactured at the Caritas Hochrhein workshops from sturdy birch multiplex—durable, locally sourced, and produced with social responsibility.
