I am looking at several options for DD, and i am confused, can you guys help me choose a chair? i want a functional chair which is good quality, last a long time--


PBK Anywhere chair--
good i like it

Land of nod--

lots of nice designs-like it-looks bigger than pbk chair
cost--99
free shipping
cover cant be washed (dry clean only--not good)

LLBean

rocker-chair--cost-110
nice reviews--but all from grandparents who bought for their grandkids--not sure if they know how it is used, liked by children. does anyone have it? do you like it?

my concerns--1) it is made of wood--will it be comfortable for kids? soft on their butt? will my DD like to sit in it or since hard pass it up?
2) can the rocking part be locked? what if she does not want to rock and just sit can the mecjanism be locked?

Montana kids chair--

really like it, option of sending my own fabric to make a customised chair.
cost--$100
cons--cover cant be washed, for those of you have chairs with non-removable covers, how bad is it?
2) can the rocking part be locked? what if she does not want to rock and just sit can the mecjanism be locked?

We have the Nod chair. And I've washed the cover a few times now. It even made it into the dryer at one point. It shrank a bit but is fine - the inserts still fit. You also need to be careful putting in the inserts since the "sleeves" on the inside aren't really securely stitched.

Otherwise, we love it. The girls love to turn their chairs upside-down and use them as a jungle gym or glorified wrestling pillows too:) We've even caught our (large) dogs trying to squeeze themselves in these chairs hahahaha.

PBK chair. DCs love it.

They have wooden rocking chairs too (not the LL Bean one). They rarely use the rocking chairs, though.

Same here. Bought the insert from ebay and cover from PBK. Rocking chair gets used for stuffed animals mostly.
