There's no end to the various ergonomic products I've tried, or considered trying, to keep my body ache- and pain-free. What I haven't thought about are ergonomic pieces for my kids. What is wrong with me? Then I found Knelt, a desk and chair that is designed to "enhance neutral posture" in kids.
The Knelt system not only allows kids to sit in a comfortable, natural position, its aesthetics are clean, modern, and sleek. The line was designed by company founder Tim Spencer, who has a design degree and is a pediatric nurse. With that history and an interest in Scandinavian design, he created the minimalist set that features tilted surfaces that promote proper body alignment.
We like the Knelt line for its good looks and its functionality. How important is something like ergonomics when you choose children's seating? Is it high on your list of priorities or just a bonus when you get it?

ERMIGAD. It's just like the desks from Serenity!!! I want!!!
I'd use this in my own studio! I love my ergo office chair.
The desk part actually looks a lot like the footstool for the IKEA Poang chair! We use ours for the kids with a hard surface on top and a pillow for the stool.
I assume a pillow isn't going to accomplish the same ergonomic intent as the kneeling stool, but my kids also don't have aches and pains or posture issues at the ripe ol' age of 2 and 4. So while this is a lovely desk, for the price I'll stick with the IKEA footstool that can serve double duty.
Maybe it's the carpet, but the seat part of that set looks too low to the ground. Kids would have to slide their legs under it and sit still...which is not that likely and maybe not the best thing. I'd rather go with LSteffan's pillow idea, so the child can move around freely and adjust as she needs to.
