In the mysterious world of children's products , the Fisher Price brand is associated primarily with wonderful educational toys. However, upon closer inspection in the brand’s collection for the smallest you can see incredibly comfortable Fisher Price - sun loungers, rocking chairs and cradles. These unusual interior items today will be discussed in our review.
Brand history
The history of the famous “toy” brand began in 1930. Fisher Price founders Irving Price and Herman Fischer decided to join forces to create imaginative toys. That is how the funny duck, Dr. Doodle, the dog Snoopy and the boy on the Coaster Boy cart appeared.
During the war, the production of goods for preschoolers was suspended - after ten years of active activity, the company began to manufacture containers for medicines and individual parts for aircraft. In the post-war years, due to the lack of wood for Fisher Price toys, an alternative material was found - plastic.
Twenty years later, the company opened its own gaming laboratory, in which experts watched how the kids spend their time. This helped develop unusual toys for early development.
At the beginning of the 80s, a new category appeared in the assortment - “Equipment for children”, within the framework of which children's chairs, cribs, high chairs and other products began to be produced.
Today, Fisher Price is one of the most successful brands, because the main experts in it are children.
A gift for parents or a useless thing?
Sun loungers for newborns began to produce about twenty years ago. New items caused sincere bewilderment of young parents and doubt about the need to buy another accessory for the baby. But already in the first days of use, mothers and fathers admitted their wrong. A rocking chair (price - from 2000 to 10 000 rubles) was by no means a useless item.
Newborn sleep is an unpredictable thing. Some children sleep for days on end, while others have difficulty laying half an hour. No matter how hard the young mother tries, she cannot devote all her free time to the baby. It is also necessary to allocate time for cleaning, cooking and washing, but what will the baby do? Fisher Price sun loungers come to the aid of new parents, in which most children love to play, relax and watch adults.
Charming animals
One of the most popular models is the Fisher Price armchair with soothing vibrations and funny little animals.
In an ergonomic seat, the baby will be comfortable, and the soft fabric is ready for any surprises. The bright game panel with three little animals will help a little to captivate the fidget. Various colors and textures stimulate motor and tactile skills, as well as vision.
According to information from the manufacturer, the Fisher Price lounge chair is suitable for babies who can sit unaided. The weight limit is a maximum of 11.3 kg. Safety is provided by antiskid legs and three-point belts. The design itself is very light and takes up little space.
Friends from the rainforest
Fisher Price Swing “Friends from the Rainforest” is another hit in the world of baby products. Many parents recommend this particular device, which combines a stationary chair for a baby and a swing.
Thanks to the special SmartSwing technology, you can independently choose one of six swing speeds, suitable for the child. In addition, the program automatically determines the weight of the baby - this means that as they grow older, the speed will not slow down.
When the rocking function is turned off, the product turns into a comfortable chaise lounge for daytime sleep with soothing vibrations and sounds of nature. During the waking hours, the child will be entertained by musical melodies and two charming friends - a lion and an elephant.
Fisher Price swing will be the best assistant for a young mother. Light weight and size, an ergonomic seat, musical accompaniment, non-slip legs and a comfortable handle are just some of the advantages of the product from the American manufacturer.
We grow up with the baby
Most rocking chairs and chairs have weight restrictions, for example, no more than 11.5 kilograms. However, the Fisher Price collection has sun loungers designed for children from birth to 2-3 years. For older age, the manufacturer recommends using the product for eating and playing.
The collection “Growing Together” has a rocking chair (price - from 5000 rubles). Design in pink colors, a charming rabbit and a game panel with flowers and a butterfly will certainly appeal to little princesses.
Main characteristics:
- deep comfortable seat;
- reclining back;
- bright game panel;
- low weight of the structure;
- vibration function;
- material that is easy to machine wash.
Another model of sun lounger is suitable for both boys and girls. Charming little animals on the game panel will take the baby to the real jungle. Fisher Price "Funny monkeys from the rainforest" in functionality is no different from the previous model - the chair is also designed for children weighing up to 18 kg.
Choose a deck chair
A variety of goods for children’s stores sometimes confuses parents, so choosing a deck chair should be done responsibly.
Pay attention to the following features:
- Sustainability of the design.
- Anatomical back.
- Seat belts.
- The presence of handles for carrying.
- Visor from the sun.
- Arc for toys.
- Upholstery material.
- Possibility of folding.
Fisher Price - chaise lounges which completely meet safety requirements. All models are equipped with a vibration function to help calm the baby. Contrasting toys on the panel invariably attract the eye of a little fidget and give the young mother time to perform household chores.
Basic Rules
A chaise lounge or a swing - a thing, of course, comfortable. However, its use requires parents to comply with certain rules.
- Time limit. Experienced pediatricians believe that the child should not be in the chair for more than two hours in a row. This product, in spite of its ergonomics, cannot replace a baby’s bed, and a long stay in a “reclining” state will adversely affect the fragile spine.
- Never carry the chaise lounge with the help of the arc for toys. Move the product without a child using special handles.
- Do not forget about seat belts.
- Place the chair only on a hard surface.
- Do not leave your baby in a chaise lounge unattended.
Models equipped with vibration, music and lighting effects are more expensive. However, a large number of functions or the reputation of the manufacturer does not mean at all that this particular deck chair will appeal to your baby. First of all, you should think about the comfort of the baby, and after about the entertainment.
