A Cool Highchair - The Nook by Joovy!

By Jennifer (Double Duty Mommy) at 9:04 PM 6 commented
Joovy is no stranger to DDM. If you recall my review on the Joovy Zoom 360 Stroller last year. This year I was sent the Nook Highchair to review.

A highchair is one thing every family should have to be because it solves so much unnecessary stress when it comes to feeding your little one. Joovy has definitely made using a highchair even easier.

The Joovy Nook is only 15 pounds and 43" tall so it's definitely light-weight and the perfect height for the 50 pound max weight limit (or 4 years old).

So what makes this highchair different from every other highchair? First it's the compact fold! No more leaving the highchair out in the open, taking up space when it's not even in use.
As you see you just push the sliding button over and lift up the tab in one smooth motion and the high chair is then flat! There is a separate carry handle (not pictured) to make it easier to carry around.

When it's not in use just simply store in a corner, in a closet, or under the bed if your strapped for space. I think by far the flat folding is my favorite feature but that's not all that is different about the Nook.

Joovy has also integrated a swing open tray instead of a tray the slides out. This eliminates that tiny "tray" part underneath the actual tray. This makes putting your child in and out a lot easier. No more fighting with them to get their legs in the correct areas! Kendall always fights with us when she's not in the mood to sit down. Struggling with her has come to an end since we just have to sit her down and swing the tray over, locking it in place. There is a top tray that is removable and washable to make clean up a breeze.

The Nook comes in four different colors.
  1. black and white - wipeable leatherette
  2. green and orange - machine washable fabric.
We chose the black because it's wipeable and I figured the white (even though wipeable as well) wouldn't always look white and clean.
I love how simple clean up after each meal has become. Throw the removable tray in the dishwasher and wipe the chair down - easy!
Finally the Nook comes complete with a 5-point harness so you can be sure your child is safe and secure in their chair. One strap over each shoulder, 2 separate straps that go around the waist and finally 1 strap that comes up from the crotch area to connect all the straps together neatly.

We've been loving our Nook high chair for the past few months. I think this is a chair that is great for grandparents to have at their house and it great for traveling.

The Nook retails for $129.99 (fabric) and $139.99 (leatherette).

Summer Infant **LIVE** Giveaway

GO TO PAGE 2 OF THIS GIVEAWAY TO LEAVE COMMENTS!!

Summer Infant has been a trusted brand since 1984 because of their comprehensive variety of baby products/gear. When you go shopping I'm sure that Summer Infant is either the designer, marketer, the distributor... or all three!

I love that when you shop with Summer Infant it can really be your one-stop-shop for all things baby. They carry clothes, gear, bath, travel, sleep, gates, monitors... I can go on and on!
The newest thing they provide is the Carter's Classic Comfort Wood High Chair. There is a few different collections to choose from but we received the Animal Parade style.

I love love love that the high chair blends in with the style I am into - classic, modern and contemporary all in one. The hard wood is so sturdy, the padded seat can be easily clean with just a wipe of a cloth.

The wood is a beautiful espresso so I think it can fit into anyones house without being an eye sore and screaming, "Hey! A baby lives here!!!" <-- I kinda hate that.
Although it's wood it still has a 3 position reclining back. The recline has helped us when Kendall couldn't quite sit on her own yet but it was still time to feed her. What I also love is if she falls asleep in her chair I can just recline her back so she can continue to sleep in comfort.

The print on the pad is so incredible cute. The only problem? Kendall has a hard time sitting forward when it's time to eat! She always tries to turn around to grab and stare at the elephant, lion and zebra.

The 4 position, front adjustable tray comes with a dishwasher safe top tray that is so easy to clean. There's no crazy tiny holes that you have to find a small object to clean it with, nothing. Just wipe and you're done.

Also, we have a 5-point safety straps to keep your baby where they should be-in the chair! So for all your parents with wiggly infants and toddlers, rest assure this chair will definitely keep them in too.

The only thing I must point out is before you start the maybe stressful job of assembling the chair together (complete assembly is required). We put it together once the kids were in bed but let me tell you.. we did not have enough caffeen in our system because we almost lost it.
There are a lot of pieces and a lot of directions. It took us about 1 hour to assemble, and thats because we accidently put a couple pieces in the wrong place a couple times.
At the end how ever long it takes to put the chair together it's well worth it. I don't believe we will ever have to give up this chair. It's here to say and hopefully I can use it for my grandchildren (AHHHH!!)

The ARV of the Carter's Classic Comfort Wood High Chair is about $180
