Although I also feel that there isn't much else out there that is similar, am I wrong? I've looked for chairs because J seems to love having a chair just his siz. But the only ones I've found are Disney character chairs. So maybe that's the pull of PBK- they are a lot more neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1223135 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:53:11 +0000 Mamaof2 1223135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think any kind of seta or chair is nice for a LO to have - it doesn't have to be the PBK one.</p> <p>I agree they are too $$ for a chair - we use bean bags and they love them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1223094 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:15:23 +0000 looch 1223094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son sits in his, it's kind of like his "spot." We keep ours at my parent's home and it's in the living room, just like any other chair would be.</p> <p>Part of the appeal is that he can get in and out without climbing on anything and potentially hurting himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221989 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 11:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1221989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up floor pillows and bean bags were all the rage. Although I think almost any non-character child size chair is cute I am leaning toward the monogrammed Land of Non bean bags for my future LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221712 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 00:45:02 +0000 googly-eyes 1221712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get it either. Target has similar ones for cheaper though and that's I'm considering. Lo likes to sit on the big couch with me though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221711 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 00:44:00 +0000 shopaholic 1221711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's nice for LO to have just any kind of small chair that he/she can pull themselves onto. I've seen other versions at HomeGoods, BRU, and The Land of Nod. My BFF even bought her LO a mini leather recliner for her own seating! For me, ultimately, I just want something that:</p> <p>1) LO can get in/out of on her own, safely.<br /> 2) Doesn't scream baby/kid in the living room and matches or blends in with our decor. In that regards, I feel like PBK and The Land of Nod have better solid choices than BRU or Home Goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221229 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:38:24 +0000 doodlepoodle 1221229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: haha! Yes! I assumed camping and got excited ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221228 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:38:22 +0000 ShootingStar 1221228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just think they're cute. I really like the PBK aesthetic and we've kind of become PBK buying wh*res, lol. Our whole nursery is decorated in stuff from PBK - furniture, bedding, shelves, etc. I didn't really realize how popular the chairs were until after we bought ours. I think we liked that it matched the lamp we got. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221226 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:36:43 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1221226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: good to know that it fits you too! $160 total? yikes!!</p> <p>@babyjmama: me either! i had to google it the first time i saw the phrase "anywhere chair". i thought it was some sort of fold up, take along chair or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221223 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:35:03 +0000 doodlepoodle 1221223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd never seen the PBK chair before HB, PBK is a bit out of our price range. My uncle bought jake a little leather recliner and he loves it! It actually looks nicer than our 'real' furniture so it can be in the living room where we generally are :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221216 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:28:08 +0000 chopsuey 1221216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love DD's for the personalization, cover design, shape of the seat, size (will last many many years since I can sit in it too)..<br /> My inlaws purchase the seat for her for her first Christmas. I priced a seat for my son and yikes! Not sure I'd spend $160+ after tax and shipping on a seat for him. Hoping family will buy it for him :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221208 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 16:18:52 +0000 loveisstrange 1221208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a similar one here in the UK for quite a bit cheaper. C loves it, but I'd never pay the PB prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221145 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 14:59:10 +0000 MsMamaBear 1221145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: That's exactly what I was thinking. Something else to make clutter for me to deal with. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221090 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 13:50:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 1221090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a super cute mini arm chair at Homegoods that matches LO's room theme. I'd rather spend less (for something that's probably the same level of quality) and spend more money on something handmade like a little wood rocking chair that might actually last long enough to be handed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221089 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 13:46:24 +0000 chrispygal 1221089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up finding the cutest pink and white polka dot chair with a matching ottoman at babies r us last year around this time, and Abby loves it. It is sturdy, like a mini version of a piece of furniture you'd have in your living room. Abby sits in it all the time and loves it! She'll also drag the ottoman over to the table and sit on that and play. So yes they might cost some dough, but little ones love small things in their size. Toys R Us and Amazon have little fold out couches and those are a huge hit as well, and they do last quite a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221044 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 13:02:12 +0000 sunny 1221044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I totally get you. I don't understand why they are so popular either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221039 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:59:14 +0000 photojane 1221039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too pricey for me - Sadie can sit on the floor. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221020 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:34:08 +0000 Bao 1221020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: oh my yeah that's a bit much, but would totally get one with a gift card! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221019 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:33:20 +0000 autumnlove 1221019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a gift card for $100 so I bought one and LO likes it. It won't be something that gets passed down but it is cute and she likes reading in it. </p> <p>@Bao: $79 + </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221006 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:26:44 +0000 Bao 1221006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much do these chairs run? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1221003 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 12:24:38 +0000 lemondrop 1221003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my thing- I don't care about fabric or personalization, I just wanted a kid sized chair. Plus I'm super cheap, so I found one that worked at Homegoods- it is very well constructed and sturdy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220863 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 10:39:10 +0000 prettylizy 1220863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I secretly love the Wagon PB boycott, even though I'm a total PBK sucker!! lol!! </p> <p>We have the Anywherechair and she like to colour in it, read book in it, eat snacks, uses it as a step stool, drags it all around the house. Like anythign else, I think kiddos like have their own version of something adults have. When DH and I sit in the TV room in our chairs, she follows and sits in her so very happily. </p> <p>FWIW, we didn't get our embroidered and I don't really care. I want her to share with LO2 when s/he arrives so it's everyones chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220843 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 10:24:55 +0000 sarac 1220843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get it either - but then, I don't really care for the look of them. The personalization thing confuses me too. Why pay so much for something that only fits your kid for a few years and then you can't even give away, because it has their name on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220800 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:36:08 +0000 Andrea 1220800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked the same question recently, lol! I think people like the personalization and choice of fabric designs. Otherwise, most other cheaper chairs will do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220794 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:31:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1220794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I think you hit the nail on the head! Good points. I was really having a hard time understanding this phenomenon. </p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I don't think DH would go for it either! It'd probably take some major convincing. Plus I guess getting this would defeat the purpose of the minimalist lifestyle I've been working towards this last month. They ARE so cute though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220786 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:25:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 1220786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted them because of the personalization, but Wagon Sr. is major anti PB (think Phoebe from Friends, plus stinginess.. Haha). So we have pkolino little reader chairs, which are cheaper, don't tip as easily, have pockets in the sides for books and a handle on the back so kids can drag them around. We love them! We got them both as gifts from people who asked for our amazon wish lists for the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220781 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:21:20 +0000 Weagle 1220781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're cute, but the appeal is that they're on a ton of wish lists. It's like that pair of Guess jeans in middle school. They weren't really that special, but popularity made you think they were. And honestly, who is going to store a foam chair for their grandchildren? I don't really think of it as a keepsake. I think a cheaper kids sized chair would accomplish the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220778 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:19:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 1220778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I did the same! Well kinda..we got a bean bag. LO loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220768 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:13:58 +0000 Bookish 1220768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As cute as I think they are...I think I'll save myself some money and just get a kid -sized chair from target! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pbk-anywhere-chairs-appeal#post-1220754 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:01:34 +0000 brady80 1220754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I have no advice on the chairs but I noticed today that the Land of Nod chairs are on sale (15% off) until monday. They look very similar and have two sizes. I was thinking of getting a small one for my LO's playroom, even though she isn't sitting up yet! </p>
