DaVinci Olive Upholstered Swivel Glider with Bonus Ottoman, Grey with Cream Piping – Best Overall Nursery Room Chair

One of the great things about this chair is that it has been extensively tested for chemicals to ensure purity and no flame retardants are used in the manufacture of this product. This helps protect the delicate health of your newborn by improving air quality.

Unlike most chairs ordered online and shipped to your home, there is no assembly required. Just pull it out of the box and set up is complete. With a baby on the way, this is one less headache for you to worry about.

The chair swivels a full 360 degrees and offers a gentle gliding motion in place of rocking so you can soothe your baby back to sleep. Gliding chairs are somewhat safer than rockers when dealing with a newborn or active older infant.

The separate ottoman allows you to put your feet up or use it as a handy occasional table. It can be the perfect spot to lay bottles and sundry accessories while getting ready to feed the baby.

The chair comes with a pillow specially designed to provide lumbar support. Low back support is especially important for pregnant women and new moms. The listed maximum weight is 300 pounds.

Comfort and practicality should come first when choosing a nursery chair, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also look good. This chair has a great tailored look and comes in five color options to help you match your decor: Cream, Dark Gray, Dark Gray with Cream Piping, Gray with Cream Piping, and Navy with Gray Piping.

The chair is compactly built with no extended headrest. This is space-saving but means that very tall people may find it is a little smaller than they would like or may want to add a pillow for neck support.

It is not stain or spill-resistant. Spills will need to be tended to quickly. Alternately, consider getting a washable, removable cover for the chair.

Recommended for anyone in need of a good nursery chair.
