Viking Campfire Chair for a small child?

[stoppy]

I’ve made 3 adult Viking campfire chairs.  SIL wants one for his partners 3 year old daughter. I made the adult ones out of 6’ 2x12”s. Two 36” in pieces to make each chair. The little girl gets lost on dad’s chair. I’m not sure how much to reduce the dimensions. I will be using a 1x12 for the child’s chair 
2- 30” pieces and shorten the seat 2”?
2- 24”pieces and shorten the seat 2” ? Other ideas?

Cool idea! How hard was it? I would like to try it, but I'm an amateur compared to you. To be honest here I really suck at any kind of work related to good or gardening stuff. I just thought it would be a good idea to trade and maybe gifted to my niece who loves outdoor activities, and we even went to the forest for camping quite a few times. Since me and my wife cannot have kids all the attention is on her as we treat her like our own child! Amanda bought her even some clothes recently from ooyoo.co.uk and she wears them everywhere as they look very cute on her.

One suggestion I have heard for a small child's chair is to scale the dimensions to 2/3 of the adult version. This scales the volume of the chair to about a third. I guess that would match your 24" option.
