Flexible Chair

Recommended for Infants and Toddlers

Our Most Popular Children’s Chair

Perfect as a baby chair for newborn gifts, the Flexible Chair adapts as your child grows. Flip it over to become a toddler chair, turn it on its side to use as a table, or rotate it to create a sturdy step stool. It even becomes a play item for imaginative games or building forts. This single piece brings joy in many different ways, adapting naturally to everyday life.

Adjusts Naturally as Your Child Grows

The seat height changes simply by flipping the chair. When babies begin sitting independently—often around weaning time—the lower position allows their feet to rest firmly on the floor, supporting a stable and comfortable posture.

For Infants

For babies, place the lower side facing down. This position provides a gentle seat height suited to early sitting, helping babies feel secure as they begin eating and spending time at the table.

For Toddlers

As your child grows, simply flip the chair so the higher side faces down. This creates a taller seat that fits toddlers comfortably, allowing them to sit with proper posture and feet supported.

Turns Sideways into a Table or Bench

Laid on its side, the Flexible Chair becomes a low table—perfect for drawing, pretend play, or snack time. Placed upright with the back facing up, it works as a step stool, making it easy for children to wash their hands or help out in the kitchen.

A Step Stool for Everyday “I Can Do It” Moments

Children love using the chair to reach the sink, shelves, or countertop. It supports their desire to do things by themselves, while adults can also use it as a sturdy stool when needed.

Four Ways to Use One Chair

Chair, table, step stool, and play item— the Flexible Chair changes its role simply by changing its orientation. With handles on both the top and bottom, it is easy to carry from any direction.

Strong Enough for Long-Term Use

After age four, children may no longer use it as a chair, but it often becomes a shop counter, a vehicle, or part of imaginative play. Even adults can sit on it or use it as a step stool—its strength and stability remain unchanged.

The Comfort Only Wood Can Provide

Carefully designed to fit children’s bodies, the chair gently supports little ones and helps them feel at ease. Its smooth curves and warm surface make it an ideal first chair for babies.

Made to Last and Be Passed Down

From babyhood through early childhood and beyond, the Flexible Chair continues to find new roles. Its durability allows it to be passed down to younger siblings or even reused by parents as part of daily life.

The Natural Touch of Japanese Hinoki

Made from Japanese hinoki cypress, the Flexible Chair has been lovingly crafted for over 35 years. The gentle scent and warmth of natural wood create a calming environment where babies can relax and feel secure.

Trusted for 40 Years

For children, daily life is play. Furniture that can also become a toy, a chair, or a table brings lasting joy. After decades of use, many families now pass their Flexible Chairs from parent to child. For children, it becomes “my own place” and “my first chair”— a small but meaningful foundation for independence and growth.
