Benji Harrington When it comes to spending time gaming, having the right chair or rocker to support your back and provide comfort is essential. Having a good posture means you can game safely without putting your body under undue strain.
Gaming chairs for kids come in three main categories.
For starters there are floor based gaming rockers. Gaming rockers are floor based seats with no legs which, as the name suggests, can rock back and forth. Most rockers have audio speakers are so are designed to immerse the gamer in their game through well-positioned sound. Rockers can have audio connected by wire and bluetooth , with the more convenient Bluetooth models being more expensive.
Rockers also tend to fold down to be more easily storable or portable. So if you are tight on space or you are wanting to take your gaming set up with you on your travels regularly then you should consider a rocker.
Gaming chairs are the more typical swivel chair style seat and come in a range of sryles and sizes as well as a reange of prive points too. PVU models dominate the lower price points with leather options dominating the higher cost models. As with rockers, many gaming chairs come with built in audio options.
Finally the gaming lounger is more of a LZ Boy style of chair which is a stylish looking recliner.

Gaming Chairs Buying Guide
For wired connections you need to ensure that you have connected to audio output on the TV.
You simply connect audio cables that comes with the chair to the audio input on the chair and the analogue audio output on the TV (this is the red/white Output sockets). If your TVB doesn’t have analogue audio output then you will require a Digital Analogue Converter
More serious gamers use the Bluetooth functionality only for movies and music as connecting to a games console with Bluetooth can result in time lag (latency) issues. If you have no audio output on your monitor you can connect the chair to an Xbox One controller for audio using a 3.5 jack to a 3.5 jack lead
While gaming has slowly shifted into a more adult pastime, there are still countless numbers of games for children to enjoy! From all of Nintendo’s output to family-friendly titles like Ratchet & Clank, there’s no shortage of games for younger gamers to get into.
But, when it’s time to game, where do they plop themselves down? Well, kids need a battlestation just like gamers of any age need. A place to sit comfortably and allow themselves to be fully immersed in whatever fantasy world they have booted up on their favourite console or gaming PC.
The most important part of any battlestation would have to be the ever-supportive gaming chair. To select a good one with just the right amount of comfort and features, it can take hours scouring the internet and comparing options. Especially for a kid’s gaming chair, of which there are relatively few. That’s why I’ve saved you the trouble of doing the legwork to find the best kid’s gaming chair with this article covering your five best options. You’re welcome!
Techni Mobill Kids Gaming and Student Racer Chair with Wheels
This first option is a great one for parents or guardians looking for something that is functional without breaking the bank. Coming in at just $84, this kid’s size gaming chair from Techni Mobili has just about everything you need: a pneumatic adjustable seat to fit kids of different heights, thoughtful casters that are designed to not scratch up your wood floors, and flexible black/blue upholstery that takes shape and stays comfortable.
The “racer” style design is both eye-catching and functional, keeping your child’s posture straight while looking cool. Posture is just as important for homework as it is for gaming, so this chair even pulls double duty! Between the adjustable pneumatic seat and the 140lbs weight capacity, this chair will serve your child well for years to come, making it a great investment as well.
This chair doesn’t have a ton of fancy features or extra bells and whistles, but it does give you exactly what you need at a decent price, allowing it to just make our list at number 5.
JoyFLY Gaming Chair for Kids
Next up is another racer style chair from JOYFLY. This one has a much higher back than the previous, and as a result has greater ergonomic lumbar support. The tall back also has a free rocking function, which allows it to recline easily to accommodate a more relaxed posture.
The soft yet durable PU leather provides plenty of plush comfort while also being resistant to abrasions, stains and scratches. This super material will keep the chair looking new for quite some time! Under the soft PU leather is the high-density memory foam padding that makes up the base and back of the chair. This foam molds to bodies of all sizes, providing the perfect level of comfort for anyone who sits in it.
You can rest assured that your child is being cradled in the safest chair possible thanks to the JOYFLY’s 5-prong base that has been rated for up to 1400 pounds of weight. With that kind of rating, it’s unlikely that even a few kids sitting in the chair at the same time will break it! Can’t ask for much more than that for $120.
OFM Racing Style Chair
The OFM Racing Style Chair is another great option coming in at around $115. The “Generation 2.0” of this chair offers supreme comfort with its enormous 4 inch thick seat cushion. The high-density foam that makes up that cushion will keep your child supported and comfortable, and the chair’s relatively high back (not as high as the JOYFLY’s) is good for maintaining good posture.
Something this chair has that the previous don’t is the unique flip up arms. These padded armrests provide the support that is needed for proper keyboard and mouse gameplay, as well as providing a good place to rest your arms if you’re holding a standard controller. These flip up arms also maximize space space savings by allowing you to fully push the chair under a desk, even if it is quite low.
The OFM Racer also has plenty of ergonomic features to make sure it fits children of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Advanced features like center tilt and adjustable tilt tension make for a comfortable experience even when reclining
