POANG CHAIR
Publisher/Manufacturer: IKEA
Every nursery needs a chair to rock nursing babies to sleep. This one is a hip alternative to the old-fashioned glider, and it's much more affordable. The Poang chair is made of bent birch wood, so it has a soothing motion, but it's not as easy to control as a more traditional rocking chair.
When you add the matching cushions, the Poang becomes extremely comfortable -- almost like floating on air. The ergonomically correct design offers soothing support for tired necks and backs. Parents of new babies also will appreciate the washable cushion covers, treated to prevent stains.
IKEA claims it puts these chairs through rigorous testing, so they should last for years to come.
