Comfortable nursing chairs are ugly, nice-looking nursing chairs are less comfortable. I guess thats the breaks. I found this chair less comfortable for nursing, but more comfortable for rocking my child and reading her stories when she was a non-nursing toddler. You cant fall asleep in it, which is both a good and bad thing? It was a good thing when I was scared of falling asleep while nursing my 5-lb infant, but a bad thing when my 15-lb toddler fell asleep on my chest and I was stuck in this chair unable to snooze with her. This is a good-looking, sturdy chair. The fabric cleans easily. Its compact, which was a plus for us in our small apartment. It can be used as a living room chair when your kid is older - you cant really say the same with those mammoth nursing gliders - which helped me justify the cost. (Also, ours came with a wonky base, and sent us a new one free of charge.) It isnt the perfect nursery chair, but I cant say I regret buying it.
Not Perfect, But Not a Regrettable Purchase
