Benefits of technology

[0010]The objective of the invention is to provide a device to increase the safety in children's chairs, beyond the safety regulations, and to reduce the chance of improper use of the chair leading to danger for the child.
[0011]Further, the objective of the invention is to provide such a device, which may reduce the danger that may follow from wrongful use of the chair, wherein the chair may be changed back to its original form without making physical, permanent changes in the chair. The chair should be possible to return to its original form and state or to an approximately original state, wherein the device is not distinctive on the chair, but easily may be reused with minimal assembly work.
[0020]Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of a glider device or a safety kit as mentioned above, as a safety device on a children's chair to reduce the friction between the chair's rear leg and a support, preferably a soft support such as a carpet.
