Anywhere Chair

Thinking about getting LO an Anywhere Chair for Christmas.  He's finally at an age where he loves to sit in his room and look at books.  So many people got these for younger kids I'm wondering if I should consider something different.  If you have one - does LO still use it?  My LO is 3 - just wondering how many years we'll get out of it.

Thoughts?  TIA

Teacher Clark:

DD has one that she was given when she was about one. If I was to buy her one now I would buy the next size up. She still fits her anywhere chair, but she will be outgrowing it in a few years and a chair in the next size up would grow with her.

Agree. We got DD hers at one. I'd buy bigger.

We got DD2 one for her birthday, so now that they each have one she sits in hers again.  I am not sure if I would get one now as you may only get a year or two out of it.

I bought DD1 hers for her 1st birthday and she still uses it everyday. I'm thinking about buying a new cover for it for DD2 for Christmas, and then buying DD1 the oversized one.

I'm thinking of getting them for my almost 4 and 2 year olds, but I heard (conversely) that the regular size is totally fine. We were at a friend's house recently and the regular size was FINE for my almost-4-year-old.

I wouldn't get the "My First Anywhere Chair" (I think that's what it's called), but the regular Anywhere Chair is FINE for an older child.

I regularly sit in my DD's, and I'm not a small person (5'8'').  It's plenty big enough for an older child.

DD got hers for her first birthday, and she still likes it.  She doesn't use it a whole lot now, but I think that's just because it's not a novelty.  She definitely knows it's her chair, and gets mad at the dogs for sitting in it :-)

Love this!

Thanks everyone!  I think Santa is ready to order.

We bought DD one for her first birthday and she still uses it all the time. It's in her bedroom next to her bookcases for her own special reading nook.
