Kneeling chair

Hey there kiddo! Have you ever seen a chair that looks like it's made for someone who wants to kneel instead of sit? That's a kneeling chair!

So instead of sitting in a regular chair where you sit with your legs at a 90-degree angle, in a kneeling chair, you sit on a pad that supports your knees and shins while your feet rest behind you. This means you're not sitting, but kneeling.

But why would someone want to kneel instead of sit? Well, some people find that sitting like this is actually more comfortable for them than sitting in a regular chair. This is because it helps to take some pressure off their lower back and spine.

Plus, because you're sitting in a different position, you'll use different muscles than you would when sitting in a regular chair. This can help improve your posture and strengthen your core muscles.

But just like any other chair, a kneeling chair may not be perfect for everyone. Some people may find it uncomfortable to kneel for a long time, and others may not be able to kneel comfortably at all.

So, there you have it! A kneeling chair is just a different kind of chair that some people find comfortable and helpful for their back and posture.
