At what age are children usually able to get into a chair without assistance?

Children typically develop the ability to climb onto a chair without assistance around 18 months. At this stage of development, toddlers have improved their gross motor skills, including strength, balance, and coordination. By 18 months, many children have mastered skills such as walking and can pull themselves up to stand, which facilitates their ability to climb into a chair independently.

Prior to this age, children may be able to pull up to a standing position or even walk, but they often do not have the necessary balance and coordination to get into a chair safely and independently. By the time they reach 18 months, they have practiced these movements and gained confidence, enabling them to achieve this milestone.
