My son, who is 10 years old now, has had a child's recliner in the TV room since he was 3 years old. He uses it so much he's worn through two of them and silly grownups have sat in them and broken two of them. But we keep getting them because it's perfect for him. He can sit in front of the TV and not be blocking anyone else's view because the chair is low. Then, he can recline if he wants to. With a TV Tray and the cupholder, he's had plenty of snacks watching his favorite programs.....as long as he does his homework first!
