Nursery Chair

[mummytobe85]

Hi, I'm looking at getting a nursery chair (ideally with a footstool too) for all those sleepless nights! Does anyone have one they would recommend please?

I bought this one recently and it’s amazing!

We have this - baby isn't here yet, but I often find DH sat in the nursery on it during the day as he's WFH and apparently it's the comfiest seat in the house..

I'm thinking about this one;

I went with this one : www.johnlewis.com/kub-chatsworth-glider-nursing-chair-and-foot-stool-grey/p3167411

I LOVE it and have been using it for 14 months .

Actually 16 months 😂 ( time flies )

I just recently ordered mine. After ages of being set on one from Marks and Spencer I decided it was just too expensive even with discount so had a quick Google and found a great one from Tutti Bambini which has just came out. It rocks and comes in 2 colours- I went with Pebble Grey.

Had this IKEA chair been around when I'd had mine, this is what I would have bought. It would then go elsewhere in the house when they didn't need it anymore.

I got the one from smyths toy store best thing I bought so comfy even the husband who said it would be a waste of money uses it daily. Comes with the foot rest to. Wish I’d bought it when I’d had my previous 2. Xx

Tbh I wouldn't bother buying one yet. The baby will be in your room for at least 6 months so you'll be feeding them in bed. & then they may be amazing sleepers who don't need night feeds by the time they go into their room (fingers crossed).

We have a rocking nursing chair with footstool. This was my biggest waste of money EVER! It was so same uncomfortable, I never breastfed the baby in it. We only really used it for bedtime stories and, later on, some bottles. Would have been far better off buying a comfy arm chair. I know several other people who bought and hated their nursing chairs. Honestly, just buy a comfy armchair instead.

How necessary do you think a footstool is? The one I like doesn't come with one...

I’ve got my eye on the Ikea one too. I thought it would be good to keep around in the room afterwards too. It’s £199 and comes in different colours. I like it because it has a high back too. And it has a matching stool (sold separately)

I have an IKEA Poang but in retrospect would have preferred something more upright. I do like the fact that it bounces/rocks a bit though.

Hey, how have you found this chair? I’m thinking about ordering one. Thanks :)

We also have an IKEA Poang chair. Didn't want to spend hundreds on something we weren't sure how much use it'd get - plus we already had it 😂 As a PP says it's nice that you can bounce/rock slightly in it but could do with being a bit less reclined. Bargain though!

I’ve gone with this one from MADE. We can use it in the room when she moves out of the nursery into her bigger room.

The ones in Mamas & Papas are beautiful but we couldn’t justify spending £500 on a rocking chair.

Did you get the smyths toys chair & do you rate it well as it’s the one I have been thinking about getting x @Clemmie83

@Kellgee Yes I've ordered it but it's not arriving until October, I found a great deal on bounty to get it for £189 instead of the £249 on Symths!

@Clemmie83 I have seen that same deal but thinking I will need it before October as I’m due any day 😂 (plus I’m impatient). I was hoping someone would be able to give me an honest review before I placed the order x

@toastandmoretoast I’m thinking of buying the Tutti Bambini Noah chair - how are you finding it? Is the quality / comfort any good?

I would check out fb marketplace etc. Few of my friends barely used theirs and one just got herself a real bargain second hand.

@LauraT83 yeah it's a good quality, sturdy chair. Defo worth the money. Very roomy and looks nice in baby's room too since it's a neutral grey. Only thing I would say is it takes up a lot of space as it's a big chair and if you're short like me get the pouffe to go with. I didn't but want to get it so I can rock without feeling like I'm stretching myself out lol.

@toastandmoretoast Thanks so much for replying so quickly - that sounds perfect! I can’t find any seat height measurements online - does the back come up high enough to support your head much?

Although I’ve just realised it sounds like I’m taller than you anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️ (I have baby brain already...)

Did anyone go ahead and order the Noah rocking chair? I was looking at that but worried it isn’t high enough to support my head when feeding.
