Fir wood cut into slats forms the seat and back of this child sized rocker, finished with water resistant paint so a rain shower will not swell the grain. Smooth runners give about 30 degrees of tilt front to back, and the seat is shaped to hold a child's weight toward the center so the chair does not roll over backward. Wide armrests give small hands something solid to hold, and the backrest leans at 110 degrees to support the lower back rather than pushing shoulders forward. The chair measures 20 by 27 by 24 inches with a 10 inch seat height, low enough for a young child to climb into unaided, and carries up to 110 lbs. At 38.5 lbs it stays put in a breeze. Slatted surfaces let air pass through on a sunny porch.
