Kiwi Deluxe Power Recliner and Swivel Glider with Heat and Massage

The bestselling Kiwi Recliner, now with heat and massage. The Kiwi Deluxe Glider with Heat and Massage by Babyletto takes everything that made the original a favorite among city parents and adds the features that make the difference between a good nursing chair and one you genuinely look forward to sitting in.

It glides, swivels 270 degrees, and power-reclines via a remote that tucks into a built-in side pocket. The heated seat has three warmth levels. The power back massage offers varying intensity. The inflatable lumbar support adjusts to your back, not the other way around. An under-chair nightlight with three brightness settings handles the 3am feed without turning on a lamp and waking everyone up. A manually adjustable headrest, a USB-A charging port, and a hand-upholstered teddy loop fabric that is as cozy as it sounds.

This is the chair for the parent who wants to be genuinely comfortable through the long stretches. Tall-parent approved, GREENGUARD Gold certified, and designed to look like a proper piece of furniture in a room that happens to have a crib in it.

Note: Stock is in a constant flux.  Some options may be 1 to 2 months out of stock.  If you need the chair sooner than later, please call for updated stock levels.

Specifications

Best For / Not Ideal For

Best For

•       Parents who want the full feature set in one chair: heat, massage, lumbar support, nightlight, power recline, glide, and swivel — no trade-offs

•       Tall parents: the deep seat, high pillowback, and adjustable headrest are specifically designed to support adults of actual proportions through long feeding sessions

•       Anyone doing overnight feeds who doesn't want to turn on a lamp — the three-level under-chair nightlight is purpose-built for exactly that

•       Parents with back tension or postpartum discomfort: the inflatable lumbar support and variable-intensity massage are meaningful functional additions, not gimmicks

•       NYC apartments where the nursery chair needs to hold its own aesthetically — the teddy loop fabric and wingback silhouette read as designed furniture, not baby gear

•       Families prioritizing indoor air quality and material safety: GREENGUARD Gold, CertiPUR-US®, and FSC® certified throughout

Not Ideal For

•       Very tight rooms: at 38"L × 29"W upright and 64" fully reclined, clearance behind the chair is required — measure before purchasing

•       Tablet users: the USB-A port is rated for phones only; using it for a tablet can damage the motor and disable both charging and reclining permanently

•       Buyers expecting an ottoman included — the Kiwi Gliding Ottoman is sold separately

•       Those who prefer a wipe-clean performance fabric: this version uses teddy loop upholstery, which is plush but not water-repellent; the standard Kiwi Glider offers stain-resistant fabric options

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this and the standard Kiwi Glider Recliner?

The Kiwi Deluxe adds heat (three warmth levels), power back massage (variable intensity), inflatable lumbar support, an under-chair nightlight (three brightness levels), and a manually adjustable headrest. It also uses a remote control with a side storage pocket rather than an armrest panel, and is upholstered in teddy loop fabric rather than the eco-performance fabric options available on the standard Kiwi. The footprint and weight capacity are the same.

How does the lumbar support work?

The lumbar support is inflatable — you inflate or deflate it via the remote control to dial in your preferred level of back support. This is particularly useful during postpartum recovery or for anyone who experiences lower back tension during long seated sessions.

Can I use the heat and massage at the same time?

Yes. The heat, massage, lumbar support, recline, and nightlight all operate independently via the remote, and can be used in any combination.

How bright is the under-chair nightlight?

It has three brightness levels, designed specifically for low-disturbance nighttime use. It's bright enough to see what you're doing during a feed without turning on a room light and waking a sleeping partner or sibling.

Can I charge my tablet using the USB port?

No. The USB-A port is rated for small devices like phones only. Using it for a tablet or similarly large device can damage the motor and permanently disable both the charging and reclining functions.

How much clearance do I need behind the chair to recline?

The chair extends to 64" in length when fully reclined. In a compact NYC nursery, measure the clearance behind the chair before purchasing — you need enough room for the chair to extend fully without hitting a wall or other furniture.

What is the weight limit?

300 lbs.

Is the teddy loop fabric easy to clean?

The teddy loop fabric is plush and cozy but is not water-repellent or stain-resistant in the way the eco-performance fabric on the standard Kiwi Glider is. If easy cleanup from spit-up or spills is a top priority, the standard Kiwi Glider's fabric options may be a better fit. If warmth and texture are the priority, the Deluxe delivers.

Does it come with an ottoman?

No. The Kiwi Gliding Ottoman is sold separately. It pairs with the Deluxe and is worth adding if you want full leg support during long feeding sessions.

Can I see it in person at Babesta?

Floor inventory changes frequently. Contact our Tribeca store at 56 Warren Street for the most current information on what's on display.

Why Babesta Carries It

The standard Kiwi is already one of the best nursery gliders on the market. The Deluxe is for parents who want to go further. Heat and massage are not frivolous additions when you're spending cumulative hours in a chair each day during the newborn phase — they're the difference between enduring those sessions and actually recovering during them.

The under-chair nightlight is a detail that only someone who has done overnight feeds thought to include. Three brightness levels, aimed downward, so you can see without waking the room. That's the kind of specificity we look for when we're deciding what to carry.

The certifications are the same as the standard Kiwi — GREENGUARD Gold, CertiPUR-US®, FSC® — because a feature-rich chair still needs to be a safe one. And the hand-upholstered teddy loop fabric means it looks and feels like an investment piece, not an appliance. That matters when the nursery is also your living room, or the corner of your bedroom in a one-bedroom apartment.
