Super-Sized In A Kid Sized World
Obese children are having trouble fitting into their child-sized world.
“That is an obesity trend reflected in the furniture,” said Tom Brennan, president of School Outfitters, which sells school furniture. “For perspective, when we look at import product from China, you can tell the difference from the China market and the U.S. market. The buckets are generally not wide enough. They have to be designed specifically for the U.S.”
School furniture and kid’s clothes are all undergoing size adjustments to accommodate larger children who are not only more hefty but taller as well.
