Ugh, there are so many things I didn’t bother getting with our first, that when the second time rolled around, I knew I wasn’t going to do that again. I honestly don’t know how we survived feeding Luna her first year and a half. Oh, that’s right, she was mostly on my boob or had to eat on our lap. Yeah, I actually think we got her chair when she was 2, off the boob and eating complete meals. Anyways, I knew I wasn’t going to do that a second time, hahaha, so we got our hands on a Joovy Nook.

I feel like I was super chill and “whatever, go with the flow” the first time and then I realized that there are certain baby products that make your life as a parent… easier? less hectic? I don’t know if either of those are the words I’m looking for, but they’re the ones that popped into my mind.

YAAAS, a high chair was one of those MUST HAVE items that I knew I had to have for my second little star. And am I ever happy that I got it for Lucas. This kid started showing interest in solids, so as soon as he was able to sit up on his own and have great head/neck control we popped him right into his Joovy Nook so he could P L A Y; I mean eat.

And he went in. Sol was (and still is) all about the BABY LED WEANING and his Nook was the perfect high chair for his messy, yet delicious eating journeys.

I love The Nook for several obvious reasons. The first, the colour; just look at that vibrant blue, my fave. Heads up, the Joovy Nook is available in 5 beautiful solid colours. Also, the deluxe, padded leatherette seat makes cleaning super easy. You can give it a quick wipe down and there aren’t many nooks and crannies where food can creep into. The seat is roomy, full-sized and GROWS with your kid; it accommodates a child up to 50 lbs.

The seat also comes with a a five point harness system to keep little eaters comfortable and safe. Sol is a climber/contortionist, so this feature was super important to me.

I also love that The Nook uses a swing-open tray to simplify mealtime. What does swing-open tray mean? It means that this high chair features a large tray that SWINGS OPEN with a one-hand motion. SAY WHAT? Yeah, you DON’T need both of your hands to open The Nook’s tray. SWEET, right? Because we all know how annoying and time consuming lining up rails can be while having a kid throw food or an epic tantrum. lol. I’ve had Sol on my hip many times, while opening The Nook swing-open tray with one hand; easy peasy. But, if you want to use both your hands to remove the tray, that’s coo too. Because you can fully remove the tray to clean thoroughly. And, when your ready to have your little one eat at the table, remove the tray completely and pull it right up to the table!

Oh, about that tray, it is adjustable; The Nook has four depth adjustments for the tray as your child grows. This is great because it keeps a lot of food OFF your little ones laps and on their tray…or the floor! LOL. Who doesn’t love a grow-with-me product?

The Nook also has a dishwasher safe top that sits on top the main tray. This makes feeding a little bit cleaner, since you can just pop the dishwasher safe tray off to wash and the bottom one is clean.

If you’ve got a tight eating space, whether it’s the kitchen, living room or dining room The Nook is the feeding chair you’ve beenneeding. It folds compactly (tray attached) with a one-hand motion. I love this feature because it makes our space feel bigger. Once babe is done eating, the feeding chair gets folded up and put away in the pantry.

And get this, the Joovy Nook comes fully assembled and is ready to go. Seriously, just pull it out of the box, and unfold. There is no ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. *Mind blown* right? Hahaha.

So, if you’re looking for a high chair, I highly recommend The Nook. So many great features that will grow with your child from birth up to 50 pounds. I’d also love to know what are some features that YOU look for in a feeding chair for babies.
