Best Kids Recliners

Most kids’ chairs are hard plastic, or you can get a bean bag, which may be uncomfortable and offer little support. Recliners come in smaller sizes for children too, so a child can have a seat of their own for reading, games and family time.

This guide covers why you might get one, how to choose by size and upholstery, and six kids’ recliners to compare.

Why Get a Recliner for Your Child

Here are a few reasons to get a recliner for your child.

• Easy Care – Many kids’ recliners use faux leather or vinyl that wipes clean after spills.
• Age-Appropriate Size – Kids’ recliners come in sizes for different ages. Smaller ones suit toddlers and younger children, who can get in and out more easily than with an adult recliner. Larger ones suit older children and youth.
• Gaming – Many children like a recliner for video games or computer games, with a desk at a suitable height. It can be more comfortable than a bean bag.
• Eating and Drinking – Many kids’ recliners have cup holders, and a few have tray tables for snacks, drawing or play.
• Family Time – A child can join family time on a comfortable chair instead of the floor or a hard kids’ chair.
• Fun Bedroom Accessory – A colorful recliner is a decorative, functional piece in a child’s room or a nursery.

Choosing a Recliner for Your Child

Choose a recliner from a reputable brand for your child, and look for solid construction. Pick the size by your child’s age, and make sure it will fit them for a few years. Faux leather or vinyl suits younger children, who are likely to have spills, and older children can use fabric. A neutral color is more likely to stay a favorite.

Keep children away from the recliner mechanism. CPSC staff describe two patterns in the incidents they reviewed: children caught in the lift mechanism under the chair, and children caught by the footrest.^[1] Check the area around the footrest before you close it, and do not let children play on or under a recliner.

Features of a Good Kid’s Recliner

• Size – Kids’ recliners are smaller than regular recliners. There are options for toddlers and younger children, and larger ones for youth and older children.
• Upholstery – Most have vinyl or faux leather that is easier to clean. Some have plush, soft fabric or velvet.
• Extras – Side storage pockets and cup holders are common, and some have tray tables.
• Recline – Mostly manual, with a lever or push-back recline and a retractable footrest. The recline angles here run from 105 to 150 degrees.
• Colors – Fun, vibrant, neutral and printed options.
• Flammability Label – Look for a permanent label that reads Complies with U.S. CPSC requirements for upholstered furniture flammability.^[2]

Recliner Safety Around Children

How We Chose These Recliners

These picks come from desk research. We compared the makers’ public specifications, the The web product pages and buyer feedback. We did not test the recliners ourselves.

We looked at these factors:

• Size – Width, depth, height and the age range.
• Recline – Push-back and the angle range.
• Upholstery – PU leather, velvet or fabric.
• Extras – Cup holders and side pockets.
• Child Fit – A kid-sized chair, not an adult one.
