The Namesake Crewe is the value recliner on this list. For $599 it swivels a full 360 degrees, glides forward and backward on a metal base and reclines with a hidden mechanism, the same set of motions as the $699 Babyletto Kiwi. Namesake says the high pillowback seats parents of all heights and lists it as featured in Parents as a top nursery chair pick. Certifications match the pricier chairs: GREENGUARD Gold after testing for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs, CertiPUR-US seat foam and FSC certified frame wood. The eco-performance fabric uses LiveSmart performance fabric plus 30% REPREVE recycled yarn and is water-repellent and stain-resistant. Setup needs no tools. The page we checked did not show seat dimensions or a weight limit up front, so check the dimensions tab if you are tall. If you want push-button recline, the Crewe Electronic costs $899. Namesake is also where milliondollarbaby.com now sends shoppers.
