Footsi Grow™ - Adjustable Children's Footrest - Available NOW
The Nibble & Rest Footsi Grow™ is a height adjustable children’s footrest. The first of its kind worldwide, this footrest has been designed for children aged 3 to 9 years old. The product has been created with the intention of allowing your child to thrive at any task at hand while sitting at a dining chair, desk chair or even bar stools by providing them fundamental foot support.
Does your child refuse to sit at the dining table? OR Do they get up from their chair after a few bites and run around? Rather than an aversion to food it could be that your child is uncomfortable in their seating position.
Parents, try sitting at your kitchen table and lifting your feet completely off the ground. Keep your feet lifted and try eating something chewy or hard, such as a bagel or steak. Notice how you feel. Are your core muscles engaged? Do you feel fatigued? Has your appetite changed? Could you eat with your feet lifted to eat for a full 20 minutes?
This is how children feel when they are eating with their feet dangling. They must use their core muscles to stabilize, which causes them to get easily fatigued and eat less food during the meal. The recommended seating position for a child is sitting with their hips, knees, and ankles all bent at 90 degrees. Adding the Footsi Grow ™ will reduce fatigue at mealtime, improve attention, and decrease the risk of choking.
We also wonder why kids can’t sit still and concentrate on their homework when studying on our standard desks at home. If they are dangling their feet while completing their homework it may be causing short attention spans and distractions. The simple & sleek design means the Footsi Grow™ can neatly fit under your child’s study desk and can be easily transported back and forth between rooms for use with multiple tasks (eating and studying).
Recommended seating position:
The ideal positioning for eating or studying is hips, knees and ankles at 90 degree angles with feet resting on a support surface.
- Ages 0-3 we recommend using our Woodsi Footsi with a compatible highchair

Our highchair footrest has received over 500 5 star reviews as parents discovered the benefit this small change can make to mealtimes. We can’t wait for your child to discover the benefits of the Footsi Grow ™ Here are some recent reviews:

Safety Warning: Our footrests are important as they help provide proper posture and comfort for your child. However, footrests may potentially make it easier for your child to push themselves up and out of their seat. Therefore, the footrest must always be used in conjunction with the safety harness of your booster seat, should the child require it. You must always supervise your child in the chair and DO NOT leave them unattended.
