“Sit up, don't slouch”

“Sit up, don't slouch”. If these are the words that echo in your house, you might be interested in “KNELT”. A study desk designed for optimizing a neutral posture for young developing spines.

 Knelt can be used for writing, drawing, colouring, reading, doing homework, using a laptop, watching TV, etc. 

Tim Spencer, a pediatric nurse who re-trained as a product designer, founded Ubiquity in 2010 and has launched the Knelt range, a pioneering range of ergonomic children's furniture. After a child uses the product and understands how comfortable their posture is, they can then keep the habit and improve their health. 
That is the reason why the Knelt Range has been highly commended in the 'Most innovative product' category of the Junior Magazine Design Awards 2013. 

Traditionally, in India and Japan meals are eaten while seated either on the floor or on very low stools or cushions. This  props you to a neutral posture to aid digestion. If you still have those Paats(low stools), get them out for your kids or give them a stiff floor cushion in front of your coffee table and prop them up to a better posture.
