Abstract
The present invention is an improved high chair which positions and supports reinforcement members at a desired distance from a surface. The high chair has a body with a lower base portion, an upper connecting portion and an upper support surface. One or more supporting feet are preferably attached to the lower base portion to provide for secure support of the chair on a variety of surfaces, including harder surfaces such as a concrete mold or softer surfaces such as graded soil. The upper support surface includes a support structure configured to hold the reinforcement bars in a stationary position. The upper support surface also includes a plurality of holes which allows a head piece to be mounted to the chair. The head piece allows the height of the chair to be readily adjusted.
