A child chair includes a cushioned character and a frame for supporting it upright with a child leaning against the cushioned character. The character has a body with upper and lower pairs of limbs connected thereto, and a seat pad connected between the lower limbs and capable of resting on a support surface when the body is disposed upright. The frame has a rigid skeletal member and an anchor member. The rigid member is composed of base and upright portions disposed within the character body. The base portion can assume a resting position on the support surface and the upright portion rigidly connected and extending in a generally transverse relation to the base portion can support the character body upright when the base position is in its resting position. The anchor member is attached to the rigid member along the base portion thereof and extends forwardly within the seat pad to receive the weight of a child seated on the seat pad and leaning against the cushioned body for anchoring and stabilizing the rigid member in a stationary position upon the support surface with its base portion in the resting position capable of resisting backward tilting of the rigid member due to backward leaning of the child against the cushioned body and the upright portion.
