DaVinci Gabby Pillowback Swivel Glider review

The DaVinci Gabby is the budget pick for parents who want a swivel but can skip recline. At $259 in its classic fabrics it glides forward and backward and swivels, and DaVinci compares its swivel range to cheaper and pricier chairs on the product page. The high pillowback is designed for head and neck support during feeds. Materials hold up against chairs that cost twice as much: the frame is 100% FSC certified solid kiln dried wood, the foam is 100% CertiPUR-US certified and the chair is GREENGUARD Gold certified. DaVinci publishes a 300 lb maximum weight, a 20 by 19.5 inch seat and an assembled size of 33.5 by 27 by 41.25 inches, which DaVinci says is great for small spaces. At 64 lbs it is also easier to move than the 102 lb Babyletto Kiwi. The limits are the lack of recline and a smaller seat, and DaVinci's free shipping starts only at $600, so a single chair pays shipping.
