The Solstice Swivel Glider by Babyletto — designed by Nursery Works — is a sculptural piece first and a nursing chair second, in the best possible sense. The distinctive curved back and sloped armrests create a silhouette that reads as contemporary art object more than nursery seating. It's the kind of chair that a design professional would choose for a room they're putting their name on, and it happens to swivel 360 degrees and glide back and forth for the long feeding sessions. Available in boucle, shearling, and teddy loop fabric options, each hand-upholstered against a tonal wood base that completes the look. The foam is CertiPUR-US® certified. GREENGUARD Gold certified throughout. At 83 lbs and a 34.25" footprint, it's meaningfully lighter and more compact than most nursery recliners — and unlike the Kiwi lineup, it does not power-recline: this is a glider and swivel chair, not a recliner. That distinction matters when comparing options.

No. The Solstice swivels 360 degrees and glides back and forth — it does not have a power reclining footrest mechanism. If a power recliner is what you need, the Sigi Electronic Recliner, Kiwi, or Kiwi Plus are the right options. What makes it different from the Kiwi or Sigi? The Solstice is a swivel glider with a sculptural design identity — the curved back and sloped armrests are its defining feature. It is lighter, more compact, and does not power-recline. The Kiwi and Sigi are wingback-style power recliners with USB ports. If design presence and compact footprint are the priority, Solstice. If power reclining and tall-parent support matter more, Kiwi or Sigi. Which fabric option is best for spill resistance? None of the Solstice fabric options (boucle, shearling, teddy loop) are treated for water or stain resistance the way the Kiwi's eco-performance fabric is. If spill resistance is a top priority, the Sigi Electronic Recliner in eco-performance fabric or the Kiwi are better fits. Can I see it in person at Babesta? Floor inventory changes frequently.

Why Babesta Carries It The Solstice occupies a lane that nothing else in our seating lineup does: a non-reclining swivel glider with a sculptural design identity that looks like it belongs in a gallery as much as a nursery. For parents who want the room to feel like it was designed — not just furnished — and who don't need power reclining, it's the most distinctive nursery chair we carry.
