Nursery Chairs
When selecting the right nursery chair it seems like there are endless options out there.
You are going to spend countless hours in this chair so you want to make sure you are getting something that is comfortable for both you and your partner! Those long nights feel even longer when you don't have the right one. We polled our community on what your favorite chair was and why for the following categories: glider, rocking and reclining chair. Shockingly, the same chair won all three of those categories, so it must be a unicorn! There were several honorable mentions we want to highlight as well.
The Babyletto Kiwi was recommended by so many of you, so much so that it swept every category of glider, rocker and recliner! This retails starting at $799 but every comment from our community mentioned how worth it it is! Some of the features people really enjoy:
It does it all- it swivels 270 degrees, glides back and forth, and electronically reclines at the push of a button.
It has a built-in USB charger (hello long nights where your phone is dying and it is your only source of staying awake).
Stain resistant and moisture repellent fabric making it really easy to clean and maintain its quality over the years.
Comes in a variety of different colors and performance fabrics to fit your aesthetic and taste.
It is Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it has undergone rigorous scientific testing for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs; It contributes to cleaner indoor air, creating a healthier environment for your baby to sleep, play, and grow.
Overall this was the top choice for a nursery chair and has thousands of strong reviews out there, not to mention their customer service is great.
Knowing that not everyone wants to spend that on a nursery chair, or some want something with more bells and whistles we will share what other honorable mentions were.
Other Gliders
The next brand that was an honorable mention for gliders was from Nurture &. They offer both premium and competitively priced chairs, however, this is more of a luxury nursery chair. They have three different types of gliders available, the Manual Glider which retails at $699, the Classic Glider which retails at $1099, and the Glider Plus which retails at $1399. The Manual Glider is the base model which is still a great chair- it is just manual, just as the name entails. All three have a smooth swivel, spill proof fabric, spacious seating and are made from non toxic materials. The Glider is the next step up that has a power recline with a built-in USB port, power lumbar support, and an adjustable headrest (great for taller people). And lastly the Glider Plus which is on the premium end, boasts a power recliner AND power adjustable headrest (the only nursery glider with that functionality), and with the power lumbar support you can find the perfect level of comfort for different activities.
DaVinci was mentioned next as a top glider brand and this is the most price savvy one from the bunch and has a few great options to choose from. Meggie owns the DaVinci Olive Upholstered Swivel Glider with Bonus Ottoman and has used it for all three kids and loves it! While it does not recline, the ottoman option serves that purpose! This chair is also Greenguard Gold Certified, has 360 degree swivel capabilities, a high back rest (also great for taller people), and has different colors and fabrics to choose from.
Other Recliners
While the Babyletto swept this category as well, people were quick to mention that Pottery Barn had some great recliner options. People also like that you can really customize the color and fabric as they have over 35 different fabric/color combinations available. While these chairs are more expensive, people commented on how timeless they felt and how versatile they were so much so that they may last you beyond the baby years. A few styles that were called out was of course the Dream, Paxton and Charleston.
