Reddit mentions: The best recliners 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)

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)

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 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.

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.

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

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.

We got this one from Amazon and 4 months in are really happy with it: Baby Relax Mikayla Swivel Gliding Recliner, Gray Linen Gray Linen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CCNJVDO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-ab7CbQNF7E8S

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

Ah yes, a $100 chair - must be rich!

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.

Massdrop has a nice chair right now for big people that is around $360. I'll edit with a couple links in a second.
