Bean Bag Dilemma
Filed under: Babies, Toddlers Preschoolers, Baby Essentials, Decor
I know this is supposed to be MY job here at ParentDish, but I need some shopping advice. You see, my 16-month-old still occasionally sits in a Kate Space Maclaren Rocker made for infants. I just checked the Maclaren website, and it seems that particular rocker holds babies up to 20 pounds.
Um, Wito weighs 29 pounds and is 35 inches long. Can we all just stop for one second and create a mental picture of what my child looks like while lounging in that thing? (Yes, the same chair in the photo, taken when he was only 9 DAYS OLD.)
Oops.
We need to put that chair to rest. My husband and I decided a bean bag type of chair would be perfect for around the house. However, preferably NOT a bean bag filled with scary Styrofoam or PVC pellets. Anyone know of any eco-friendly bean bag options? My uncomfortable son thanks you in advance.

I've sat in them in the stores and they have a kid size one. They are filled with durafoam rather than styrofoam or pellets.

am'ti b said...you read my mind, i have been checking out stuff and found mini jake out of brooklyn to be fantastic. one stop shopping for just this sort of thing, (hard seats first)i like the rockabye storage rocker by offi kids, small rocker by celery,and galap rocker by arington. (now for soft seating) point by fat boy, nest seat by nest and these aren't really seats, but we have some of their stuff and they are from cambridge and super cute, the puffs from zid zid. we got one for the nursery and it is on its way. hope this was helpful.
p.s minijake.com also gives eco info.

Eva said...$120 for a bouncy seat? Holy wow, that's ridiculous. I paid $5 for mine and it was fantastic and basically just like that one. No wonder you want him to use it forever if you paid that much!

am'ti b said...i must say the old kate spade maclaren (the new one is kinda not the best colors) is pretty good looking. it is something you can leave out in your den, if your main hobby and biz is finding and designing spaces, this is the bouncy seat for you.
