Item was very cute but NOT a recliner. Item was bought for a child that cannot sit upright without assistance and when chair was in reclined position, chaild was in an almost upright position. Will not work for our child! And on top of that, it cost us $26 to return item. We wouldn't have bought this in the first place if we knew a child sitting in it would be sitting as far upright as they are! Sad that it cost $26 to learn about this flaw... Waste of money if you want a chair that reclines.
