Reddit mentions: The best chairs for kids

So I know you were asking about the POANG in particular...but since you mentioned price...this is the recliner we got for our nursery...it's in a similar price range: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Relax-Mikayla-Recliner-Microfiber/dp/B00VAS7QS0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498160535&sr=8-1&keywords=nursery%2Brecliner&th=1

I mean, it's not going to be as nice as a Lazy Boy, but it's pretty comfortable! And I'm 5'4" but it's got a tall back, and it would definitely work for your 5'6". I will say, if I sit with my ass all the way back in the chair, I can't reach the ground, but that's cause it's a pretty deep cushion. It reclines, rocks, and swivels, which is nice.

(on a related note: I think it's really comfortable...but I don't actually nurse in it, lol. I have a hard time getting my kid in a good position to feed without a nursing pillow, and it's not easy to get in a recliner, put the nursing pillow in my lap, and then a baby on top of the nursing pillow. So I did a lot of nursing on the main couch or in my bed, where I could lay the baby down next to me, set up my pillows, and then pick up baby and put her on the pillow. It's obviously easier now because she's 8 months old, but I still think it's easier just to sit on the ground and nurse her)

oh yeah I forgot about that! It's "THE CUBE"! (12") We bought it a few years back as a festival accessory, but fit too perfectly to not use it as a nightlight.

It's pretty cool! It's waterproof, and sturdy enough to be used as a chair, and changes colors. Great for camping, parties, whatever.

I use a wobble type stool for pretty much all VR games involving player movement - it’s the perfect balance between standing and sitting if you lean it slightly forward so it forms a sort of tripod with your legs but bears most of the weight.

I can still easily swivel and lean side to side as if I’m standing, but am anchored to the center of the field of view and comfortable. It’s also great for games like firewall and farpoint because you can adjust the height so your knees are bent a bit in a slight crouch. It makes movement feel more tactical and immersive than standing upright, but also takes the load off my knees that would happen if I actually crouched.

We have a glider that my sister got us for my baby shower. I admit I did zero research on them, and just went "well I need a glider and this one looks good". Turns out my husband and I are too tall to sit comfortably in it for extended periods. We moved the glider into our bedroom and bought this rocking recliner for the living room. It's super comfortable and is big enough to curl up or splay out on without it taking up a huge chunk of living room. We basically only use the glider now for nights when baby is over stimulated and won't go to sleep (just sit in a dark room and rock haha)

I use a Saucer chair. It's comfortable, doesn't take up any room and perfect price. Go to Amazon.com and search "Saucer Chair" and you can find some for around 50 bucks. If you want to go all out Check This One out, It's the one I use and it's 59% off. Or if you want one that is less pricey try this one as well. I have that one too and it's 50 at Amazon but if you live where there is a Big Lots they have it for 20 bucks and that's where I bought it. Cool thing about these is that you can fold them up and put them away when you are not using them. But I do love the first one I posted more since it looks more Modern and it goes with my furniture.

It’s beautiful but I agree with your friend. My LO is only 5 days old and I’ve spent more time in the glider than anywhere else. Comfort is key. Is there somewhere else in your house you can put it?

This is the one I have and it has been a dream.

I'd go with one of these for several reasons. First, if you get it in the right color you've got a great piece to go with your shelf. Secondly, now baby girl has her own place to enjoy all those books she's acquired! It's a great piece for play -- when she's a "mommy" rocking her baby to sleep or being an imaginary school teacher. It's a piece that will last and can be passed down to future little siblings. I had a rocking chair as a kid and it lasted forever and had so many uses!

I was surfing Slickdeals today and saw that glider at babies r us and came here to post about it. Looks like you already got the memo.

I went ahead and ordered one for pick up. Hopefully we can pick it up tomorrow on our way back from my 40w Dr appt, as husband is coming to this one. We already got one from Amazon of our registry that was about $300, but for $100 I can use one downstairs too. I may actually switch them as I think the recliner is a nice looking piece of furniture and would look great in the living room.

This is the one I got from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VAS7QS0/

I actually use this as a strategy during therapy sessions for children with low muscle tone. This is very normal. When children don't have to think about their bodies they are better able to focus on the activity in front of them.

For example, if you have ever seen a child sit in a W-sit this is because that position essentially locks a child into place and they don't have to use their core muscles to hold themselves up (for the record try to not let your child sit this way, it's terrible for them). Children in a w-sit are better able to attend to their toys because they aren't working as hard to physically hold themselves up. The same goes for your child in a high chair: they are in a fully supported position. Also, as you mentioned, you have created a physical structure/enclosure for the child, which helps with attention and focus.

If you decide to transition to a toddler table, you can always try a cube chair which has the same type of effect as a high chair: excellent support and provides a little bit of an enclosure on each side. They're really great for early childhood seating, and also are at a lower risk for tipping, unlike a 4-legged chair.

I second this! Baby isn't quite here yet, but we have it setup and LOVE it.

For reference

I had a less expensive two piece on my registry at first, but my mom convinced me that if I was going to splurge on something in the nursery, this would be the furniture to do it on... I have a feeling that she's right.

I'm using this mattress, it's very comfortable and the folding ability makes it perfect for this build. I had to cut a few inches off the sides of the 2 pieces that fold over the platform extension so the drivers seat could remain in place but luckily the foam comes out of the fabric really easily. Makes washing it a breeze too!

My friend did. They aren't very comfortable. For $400 you can buy tools, a donor office chair from Goodwill, and a good condition seat from the local pull-it-yourself junk yard and still have a ton of cash left. I paid maybe $50 in total to build something similar using a seat out of a rear ended Honda Accord Coupe. The best desk chair I've ever used though is an old lounging chair I put caster wheels on. It looks like this.

I love the rocker/recliner I got on Amazon! The recliner feature is so useful when you've just rocked a baby to sleep and you want to get more comfortable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CCNJVDO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Best buy so far has been a Harry Potter table and chairs, five dollars for the set. The chairs have some wear to them and I have to get some paint off of the set because it was used at a local library. Once my amateur restoration is complete, I am hoping the flip will be sweet.

I can't believe my brain stored this idea away just for this moment, but there is a concept called "definition by prototype". http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ApproachesToDefinitions

Basically you could point to a good example of a chair, and point out ways that the beanbag is similar or different.

Amazon calls this a chair but all it is is cloth around some stuffing. It's just in a shape with a back, seat, and armrests.

And they also call this a "bean bag chair."

So, yes, I think it is a chair. Probably getting close to not being a chair, but it is a chair.

Hmmmm it looks like Moroccan floor seating done with a modern design but it also looks like a mattress sofa.
Try the links they may help?

I think this is the rocker/recliner I had on my registry, but I think this is the one we were given. I wanted one that didn't have an ottoman to be in the way (or that I could cat nap in if needed), but still rocked (and also the other reasons you described). I'm glad we were given something, though, even if it wasn't what we requested! We get a lot of use out of the glider. FWIW, we currently have it in the living room, since Audrey's bedroom is upstairs but she's currently rooming with us downstairs. I don't think it looks hideous in the living room, but we also look like college kids with our hodgepodge furniture.

I don't know how well this would work but have you considered something like this? (maybe 2 of them stacked?) https://www.amazon.com/LUCID-Folding-Mattress-Removable-Outdoor/dp/B01M4NBIK6/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1486887007&sr=1-1&keywords=folding+king+mattress

It’s not as fancy as the PB one, but we like it!

Fair question! My roommate had recently moved in and was buying a lot of her furniture online. She saw this one and thought it was just really good bargain until it arrived and turned out to be teeny tiny. Fortunately my cat gets enough use out of it now. :D

Those are basically the things I end up buying when moving.

Chair link is here for the exact one I got, it’s the biggest one I could find and it’s awesome so far! Sorry I forgot to come back and check for comments everyone!!

Drawer organizers are from IKEA, you get two large squares, two rectangles, and two small squares in a pack for like $7.99 or something. (Found them online: http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/30300281/ ) Dresser is the HEMNES from IKEA.

The chair is this one: Baby Relax Mikayla Swivel Gliding Recliner, Gray Microfiber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAS7QS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_zz5Qyb39H7W52

I got sick of my office chair and just splurged for myself two weeks ago to get this chair:

Learniture Adjustable-Height Active Learning Stool, Black, LNT-RIA3052BK-SO https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GVVQNL6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TSP9AbK4931KQ

It was a solid investment and I'll take it wherever I go next. I love it so far.

This is the one I got I love it.

Yep! We have this and rotate the ones that we keep out. Has made a huge difference in clutter.

I just made myself two of them. Pretty neat gadget. My son is ADHD as well and wife is ADD.

Have you tried a wobble stool. It's a stool but has a rounded bottom so they can rock back and forth. Some schools will either provide one or let you bring one in.

I found this that looks pretty close (In fact I think its the exact same) - http://www.uncagedergonomics.com/wobble-stool/

Also found it on amazon - US

Make sure that the screen is at eye-level and the keyboard can be reached when your arms are at a roughly 90 degrees angle.

Also: Standing all day long in front of a computer will probably be result in all kinds of other problems from bad posture and your feet will hurt like hell. So any good standing desk solution should also come with a good stool to support you, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Learniture-LNT-RIA3052BK-SO-Adjustable-Height-Active-Learning/dp/B01GVVQO5G/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1493662537&sr=8-2&keywords=learning+stool+learniture&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=ss-p02110-20&linkId=fbc61146aa94b7d61b122d1e24f08d7e&language=en_US

Probably would work, but I've heard from friends that constantly using them as a bed lowers their impact reducing ability when used as a crash pad. Might just consider a folding memory foam mattress. Similar price, similar size, here's what we bought.

This is what I use for seated VR.

Though I don't use foot pedals.

I think this is it?
