Ecofriendly kids chair?

[jillmom]

Hi All,
I'm looking for a chair to put in my kids rooms for them to sit on. The ones I looked at are filled with polystyrene or polyethylene foam. Anyone know of some kids chairs that are ecofriendly and cute?
Thanks!

Scroll down a bit here http://www.viridiandesign.org/products/furniture.htm and you will find a bunch of links for eco friendly stuff. I don't know how good they are for the environment but we just picked up DD1 this chair http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10116552 and she really likes it. She is 5.

Thanks infomom! That extensive website listed a kids furniture website, but unfortunately it was foreign.
If only that Ikea chair came in a color, I'd buy it. Do you know if the cushion is removable? I would consider dying it.
Thanks!

The pottery barn kids soft chairs are eco friendly. Made of recycled materials and soy based materials. They come in two different sizes and you can buy different slip covers, which are also machiene washable!

I was actually surprised to find out how eco-friendly pottery barn kids really is! I have definately changed my outlook on them since having a dd!!

That is just what I was looking for! Thanks.
I had an issue with a return at PBK and haven't shopped there since (they would only give me a gift card--wouldn't refund my credit card). I don't really want to shop there given my bad return experience, but I have this darn gift card to use and the chair would work great for us. I may just have to go for it.

I clicked on some of the links and got a place in West Virginia so perhaps you didn't scroll down far enough. Must be US and international site intermixed.
The Ikea chair's cushion IS removable. Really cute/comfy chair and you can't beat the price. We have an anywhere chair (large size) and we like that also. After four years it is loosing it's shape a bit but I'm aware you can get replacement inserts. Now DD2 inherited the anywhere chair and DD1 has the Ikea chair....everyone is happy.

Great! Now I have some choices.
I also found this couch that comes in pink and is very similar to the Ikea chair. The price certainly is right:
