Royton Footstool

The BubsNest Verdict

The Royton Nursing Chair earns praise from most parents for its ergonomic design and rocking capabilities that help soothe babies. Many find it very comfortable for long feeding sessions. However, some report quality control issues like unstable frames or fabrics that don't hold up well. While generally seen as a good value, a few feel it's overpriced compared to similar options. Overall, it seems a solid choice for comfortable nursing, as long as you inspect it carefully and don't mind the occasional flaw.

“A comfortable nursing chair with a soothing rocking motion, if quality issues can be overlooked”

7.3

Solid Choice

The Royton Nursing Chair earns praise from most parents for its ergonomic design and rocking capabilities that help soothe babies. Many find it very comfortable for long feeding sessions. However, some report quality control issues like unstable frames or fabrics that don't hold up well. While generally seen as a good value, a few feel it's overpriced compared to similar options. Overall, it seems a solid choice for comfortable nursing, as long as you inspect it carefully and don't mind the occasional flaw.

What parents love

Comfort and supportParents highlight the chair's ergonomic shape, plush upholstery, and arm rests that provide excellent comfort and back support during feeding.
Soothing rocking motionThe rocking function is widely praised for helping calm and lull babies to sleep, with the smooth gliding motion described as very relaxing.
Stylish designMany appreciate the chair's classic, neutral aesthetic that blends well with nursery decor.

Worth knowing

Quality control issuesSome report problems with the frame feeling unstable or wobbly, and the fabric upholstery not holding up well over time.
Value for moneyA few feel the chair is overpriced compared to similar nursing chairs, and question whether the quality justifies the cost.
Limited reclineA couple of parents note the chair's back is quite upright, providing less ability to recline and relax compared to other options.

Best for

  • Parents looking for a comfortable, soothing nursing chair for the nursery
  • Those who prioritize an ergonomic design with good back and arm support

May not suit

  • Buyers on a tight budget who want the most value for money
  • Homes with limited space that need a more compact nursing chair

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Inspect the chair thoroughly in-store for any quality issues before purchasing, as some report problems with stability or fabric durability.

Getting the Most Out of It

Take advantage of the rocking motion to help soothe and settle your baby during and after feeds.

Shopping Tip

Consider whether the Royton's upright back will suit your preferred feeding position, as some find it less reclined than other nursing chairs.
