Scaled to a 10.5-in seat height so a three-year-old climbs in without a boost, this kids rocking chair keeps its rocking arc short enough that the frame will not pitch backward mid-story. Linen fabric over high-density sponge covers the seat and back, and a eucalyptus and plywood shell sits on solid poplar legs rated to 110 lb. At 12 lb the chair moves between a bedroom, a playroom, and the family room without dragging marks across the floor. The gentle motion suits reading time, cartoons, and settling down before bed.
