Solstice Swivel Glider

The Solstice Swivel Glider by Babyletto — designed by Nursery Works — is a sculptural piece first and a nursing chair second, in the best possible sense. The distinctive curved back and sloped armrests create a silhouette that reads as contemporary art object more than nursery seating. It's the kind of chair that a design professional would choose for a room they're putting their name on, and it happens to swivel 360 degrees and glide back and forth for the long feeding sessions.

Available in boucle, shearling, and teddy loop fabric options, each hand-upholstered against a tonal wood base that completes the look. The foam is CertiPUR-US® certified. GREENGUARD Gold certified throughout. At 83 lbs and a 34.25" footprint, it's meaningfully lighter and more compact than most nursery recliners — and unlike the Kiwi lineup, it does not power-recline: this is a glider and swivel chair, not a recliner. That distinction matters when comparing options.

Specifications

Best For / Not Ideal For

Best For

•       Parents who want the nursery chair to be a genuine design statement — the sculptural curved back and sloped armrests are a Nursery Works signature that no other chair in this category matches

•       Those who prefer a swivel-glide rather than a power recliner — the Solstice is for sitting, feeding, and soothing; it is not a recliner

•       Smaller nurseries: at 34.25"L × 32.25"W and 83 lbs, it has a notably compact footprint and light weight compared to the Kiwi lineup

•       Fabric-forward buyers: boucle, shearling, and teddy loop options each with a tonal wood base create a fully coordinated aesthetic

•       Families who want GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US® certified seating in a room where a baby spends significant time

Not Ideal For

•       Parents who need a power recline: the Solstice glides and swivels but does not have an electronic or manual reclining footrest — the Kiwi, Kiwi Plus, or Sigi are the right answer for power reclining

•       Tall parents who need deep seat support for long feeding sessions: the seat back height is 22.5" — the Kiwi's 25.5–27.5" seat back provides more support for taller adults

•       Those expecting a USB charging port: the Solstice does not include a charging port; choose the Sigi or Kiwi for that feature

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Solstice power-recline?

No. The Solstice swivels 360 degrees and glides back and forth — it does not have a power reclining footrest mechanism. If a power recliner is what you need, the Sigi Electronic Recliner, Kiwi, or Kiwi Plus are the right options.

What makes it different from the Kiwi or Sigi?

The Solstice is a swivel glider with a sculptural design identity — the curved back and sloped armrests are its defining feature. It is lighter, more compact, and does not power-recline. The Kiwi and Sigi are wingback-style power recliners with USB ports. If design presence and compact footprint are the priority, Solstice. If power reclining and tall-parent support matter more, Kiwi or Sigi.

Which fabric option is best for spill resistance?

None of the Solstice fabric options (boucle, shearling, teddy loop) are treated for water or stain resistance the way the Kiwi's eco-performance fabric is. If spill resistance is a top priority, the Sigi Electronic Recliner in eco-performance fabric or the Kiwi are better fits.

Can I see it in person at Babesta?

Why Babesta Carries It

The Solstice occupies a lane that nothing else in our seating lineup does: a non-reclining swivel glider with a sculptural design identity that looks like it belongs in a gallery as much as a nursery. For parents who want the room to feel like it was designed — not just furnished — and who don't need power reclining, it's the most distinctive nursery chair we carry.
