Child-sized versions of iconic chairs appeal to parents, but more importantly, they provide kids with a seat that's scaled to their proportions. Good vintage children's chairs can be hard to find, so we scouted out 10 options that would work well paired with a small desk or table, or just hanging out on their own in a reading corner. Check out this updated list of vintage chairs for kids from around the web.

Online Shops in the U.S.

• Three Potato Four: Janet Morales and Stu Eli, the proprietors of this online shop, have a great eye for vintage pieces. Their inventory sells quickly and rotates frequently, but they usually have a few child's chairs for sale. This Early 20th Century Auditorium Chair is currently listed for $250.
• Ruby Lane: They're an an aggregator site that posts antiques from over 2,000 sellers, and their focus is on traditional, "Antiques Roadshow" style stuff for a wide range of prices. This 19th Century Child's Slat-Back Chair is listed online for $195.
• Etsy: They're a great resource for childrens' chairs — when I was compiling this post, I found the most options by far at Etsy. This purple vintage school chair ($19.50) is currently listed with Nebraska-based seller moxiethrift.
• VandM.com: This antique aggregator site has an eclectic mix of traditional and modern, as well as high and low items. This Pair of handcrafted children's chairs is a rustic option for kids — it sells for $400.
• eBay: Always a good resource when you're looking for something very specific, eBay usually has quite a few child's chairs online. I found quite a few mid-century styles, including a couple versions of this pair of red plastic chairs, up for auction.
• Modern50 Vintage Industrial: This online store carries a well curated (and higher priced) collection of modern and industrial furniture. Last time I checked, they had a couple of furnishings for little ones, including this Eames MKS-1 Child's Chair, $495.
• Craigslist: An old standby, craigslist is worth sifting through when you're looking for a really good deal on vintage children's furniture. Because families are always growing out of their nursery furnishings, there's a constant supply in most cities.
• 1st Dibs: If you're looking for some really glam, brand-name designer vintage pieces for your kids, and you're willing to pay top-condition prices, check out this antiques aggregator site. This Pair of Bertoia Child's Chairs is currently listed there for $550.

Online Shops Outside the U.S.

• Bianca and Family: Based in France, this web shop sells a mix of vintage and new pieces for children, and they've got the French flea market look nailed down. This Child's Desk and Chair (price on request) is especially adorable.
• Molly-Meg: If you live in the UK, you're in luck! This British website has a great selection of children's furniture (those are their chairs in the main pic above). Their specialty is 1950s-style chairs — this Ercol 1960's classic children's stacking chair is currently listed for £68.
