Purchase Criteria
furniture type
The manufacturers of children's seating groups for the garden create different furniture. For example, there are various children's marquee sets consisting of a table and two benches to choose from, as well as a combination of a square or round table with several chairs. Sets with a table and chairs and at least one bench are also available. The seating furniture is available with and without a backrest. Variants with a backrest offer the children more support and help them to position themselves well at the table.
material
wood: Children's seating groups made of solid wood are considered to be the most beautiful and at the same time the most valuable solutions. Corresponding models are usually made of pine or spruce and often impregnated to withstand the various weather conditions. If the wood is untreated, you should impregnate and glaze it yourself. Sets made of wood fiber board cannot hold a candle to the solid variants in terms of quality, but they cost less. Keep in mind that solid wood models are generally relatively heavy. In addition, the maintenance effort for wood is comparatively high.
metal: Some child car seat sets are made of metal, for example the light metal aluminium, which is characterized by its low weight but is nevertheless very stable. Basically, metal furniture is robust and durable. However, it is essential to pay attention to corrosion resistance in order to prevent rusting. Visually, children's seating groups made of metal are not the first choice due to their rather cool appearance.
plastic: Plastic child seat sets have two major advantages - they are inexpensive and easy to maintain. There is also plastic furniture in a variety of colors. The plus points are offset by the disadvantage of the reduced quality. Continuous exposure to the sun will make even the best plastic porous over time. In addition, furniture made of plastic often looks like a foreign body in the garden. Important note: The material must be free of harmful substances.
design
Child seat sets are available in a variety of designs. Whether classic made of unvarnished wood, colored or even provided with a specific motif - the selection is very large. Choose a children's seating group whose look meets your personal taste on the one hand and fits into your green oasis on the other.
Dimensions
The dimensions are important in order to be able to estimate how much space the child seat set will take up in the garden. They also provide information about the age for which the furniture is suitable. For three-year-old children, the chairs or benches should have a seat height of about 26 centimeters; for six-year-old kids we recommend 31 centimetres. The table should be about 38 centimeters high for a three-year-old and about 46 centimeters high for a six-year-old.
Weight
The weight is an important purchase criterion for two reasons: on the one hand, the children's furniture should not be too heavy so that it can be transported from A to B with relative ease; on the other hand, they have to bring a certain weight with them in order to be stable - after all, kids rarely sit still on the chairs and benches.
foldability
If you have a large garden, it doesn't really matter if the children's sofa is foldable. The situation is different if the furniture is only used occasionally and is otherwise to be stored in the tool shed, garage or basement if possible. Then it is of course an advantage to be able to fold up the child seat group to a compact size.
scope of delivery
To get an impression of whether the price-performance ratio is good, you should carefully analyze the scope of delivery. How many pieces of furniture are included? For example, do the table and/or benches also offer practical storage space? Are additional useful accessories included? Some of the children's seat sets even come with soft seat padding and/or an integrated parasol.
youtubefrequently asked Questions
What is a child seat set and what is it for?
A child's seat set, often also called a child's seat group, is a set of several pieces of children's furniture for sitting, eating, painting and handicrafts or playing.

Children's seating groups are available in large garden centers and in the garden furniture departments of furniture stores, and often also in children's toy shops.

In some cases, installment purchases are also possible there.

Most child seat sets cost between 40 and 100 euros. There are some cheaper and more expensive versions. The spectrum ranges to over 200 euros - depending on the scope of delivery, quality and manufacturer. Children's seating groups made of high-quality solid wood are usually more expensive than models made of metal or plastic.
Can I build a child seat set myself?
Yes, in principle there is nothing wrong with building a child's seat set yourself, especially since a personalized seating group is individual and therefore unique. If you have the necessary manual skills and experience and ideally already have suitable wood and the necessary tools, you can tackle the DIY project directly.
equipment
padding
Most child seat sets are supplied without padding and covers. So that the kids can sit more comfortably, we recommend ordering additional cushions. It is particularly important to pay attention to harmonizing dimensions. When it comes to color and design, it's best to let your children decide.
