         6 . A high-chair for children with easy actuation, comprising: a chair; a stand for supporting said chair so as to be arrangeable at a preset height, a shaft supported at a lower end of said stand; wheels supported on said shaft; a pinion keyed on said shaft and being provided with seats; a brake lever that is articulated at the lower end of said stand, said brake lever having a contoured cutout, which provides an inactive position and an active position for said brake lever with respect to the supporting shaft of the wheels of said stand; and a retention tooth provided on said brake lever to engage, when said brake lever is in the active position, in said seats of said pinion.  
     
     
         7 . The high-chair of  claim 6 , wherein said contoured cutout is substantially shaped like the numeral  8 , having a lower seat, an upper seat and a central narrower portion so as to set, by engaging the wheel supporting shaft, said inactive and active positions.  
     
     
         8 . A high-chair for children with easy actuation, comprising: a chair; a stand for supporting the chair so as to be arrangeable at a preset height, said stand having front and rear arms; a tray that has lateral guiding slots for closing said stand when said tray is turned over, and is supported proximate to lower ends of the arms of said stand; a first one of said arms being pivoted to an end of said tray, and a second one of said arms engaging slidingly said lateral guiding slots.  
     
     
         9 . The high-chair of  claim 8 , wherein said tray comprises a container portion that is surmounted by a border provided with pivots for pivoting to the front arm of said stand and an upper covering border, said guiding slots being provided in said border and ending with a locking portion, and a pin that is connected to the rear arm of said stand and engages said guiding slots.  
     
     
         10 . The high-chair of  claim 9 , further comprising an automatic locking button connected to said pin for actuating release with respect to said guiding slots.  
     
     
         11 .
