Bought this chair for using with with my new born, 5 months in and have looooved it. It’s held up well to my other two young kids climbing and rocking on it. The armrest pockets have been perfect to store things I need for middle of the night feedings (lookin at you snackies!) and electronics so they aren’t slipping down the crack. I’m only 5’1 so I have to scoot down a little bit to be able to reach my heels to the end of the foot rest to get enough leverage and close it. It creaks a little when you stand up, started doing that around 3months of use but hasn’t gotten worse. Has been a great chair for the price!
