I love this chair and am sitting in it now as I write my review. It was purchased as a nursery chair and is exactly what we were looking for. Very comfortable, nice high back, no major parts that could pinch little fingers of older children or snap off due to older children climbing on the chair, and a great price. It takes a little bit of effort to get the footrest down from a reclined position, but I don't find it to be a huge issue for me. I have been able to kick the footrest down with my six month old in arms. Though as someone who has has c-sections (I am 6 months out at this point), other c-section moms immediately post surgery may have trouble kicking it down with this due to core strength and stitches. The rocking motion is really nice, and its not too wide so great for breastfeeding.
