Moon Chair


 

Little girls need a special place to sit and have some quiet time. Maybe read a book. Maybe watch a Disney movie. Or perhaps just sit back, drink a bottle, and then take a nap. While there are all kinds of little seats that are meant for girls, in my opinion one of the best options is a moon chair. If you don’t know what moon chairs are, they are round chairs that have a sturdy metal (or sometimes wicker) frame underneath. There are all kinds of sizes, some meant for adults, and some for kids. Moon chairs for girls are a great choice because they come with fantastic looking designs on them that every girl will love. You can choose from many of the popular Disney and TV characters. Another great feature of these little moon chairs is that they all fold flat, and come with their own little carrying case. These come in really handy when you are outside at the park, soccer game, or beach and your kid needs to take a nap. No more lying on a towel in the dirt! They will just pass out in the chair for a rest.

If you are having a hard time deciding which one your little daughter will like, why not bring her over to the computer and show her the options? Here are the most popular moon chairs for girls:

Disney Fairies Moon Chair

Pretty much any little girl will love this one, with its purple color and pictures of Tinkerbell and her friends on it. The chair can hold 80 pounds.

Disney Princess Moon Chair

This one is pink with Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty on it. Like the Fairies saucer chair, this one should suit pretty much any little girl.

Dora Moon Chair

From the crazy-popular TV show Dora, this is a great one for little girls. It is pink and purple with a nice picture of Dora and her friend Boots the monkey.

Disney Ariel Moon Chair

The Ariel moon chair is still amazingly popular with little kids, thanks to the Disney movie, cartoon, and songs. The good thing about this chair is that it has Ariel’s little lobster friend attached to the top.

High School Musical Moon Chair

If you are looking for a chair that will appeal to a girl that is a little old for Dora and Disney princesses, consider this one. It is pink with the characters on the cover. Since it is meant for older girls, it is a little bigger than the other ones too.

Moon Chair for Girls Buying Guide

There are a few things to consider before buying your daughter a moon chair. The first question many parents ask is how old do kids need to be before they can use one of these chairs. Most manufacturers say that their chairs are meant for kids who are at least 1 year old. While you can put a 1 year old in the chair, you should watch them closely, since some of these chairs may fall over if the kid tries to climb around in them by themselves. A moon chair for girls is normally strong enough to hold around 80 pounds, which is plenty strong enough for most kids under 6 or so. Once kids get too big for these chairs, you should get them a moon chair meant for teens and adults.  They probably won’t want to sit in a Dora chair by then anyway!  By the way, another name for them is saucer chairs. They are the exact same thing.

Many buyers wonder if you can take the cover off of the chairs to clean them. While some of the better moon chairs for adults allow this, the inexpensive little ones for kids have covers that can’t come off. To clean them, simply scrub them with a wet sponge or cloth, and then put them in a sunny spot to dry.

 

If you want to give your little boy his own special chair to sit on, one of your best options is a moon chair.  Also known as saucer chairs or sphere chairs, these round little seats are wonderful for both kids and adults.  You might be wondering why that is.  The reason is that moon chairs for boys are soft, stable, and provide support for the entire back and head.  While other chairs don’t have head support, a moon chair does, so you can see why they are more comfortable than normal seats.  All of these chairs fold up flat and most come with a little carrying case.  This makes them perfect for taking outdoors or to friends’ homes, as it gives them a familiar place to relax and take a break.  Moon chairs for boys come in many different styles, and it will depend on the age of your child and his interests when deciding on which design you should get.

Here are the most popular moon chairs for boys:

Disney’s Cars Moon Chair

From the phenomenally popular “Cars” movie by Disney and Pixar, this chair is sure to be a hit with any little boy.  It has Lighting McQueen on the front of it and comes with its own little carrying pouch.

Disney Toy Story Moon Chair

This one is another super Disney hit movie, and pretty much every kid will love the pictures of Woody and his pals.  The bright blue color of the chair will appeal to almost all boys.

Diego Moon Chair

From the cartoon TV show “Dora”, this chair features Dora’s sidekick Diego in action. Toddlers seem to really love this show, especially the little ones.  Surprisingly, the Diego chair is rated to hold more weight, which means it is constructed a little sturdier than some of the others.  It is also a couple of inches bigger.

Pirates Moon Chair

Rrrrrrhhh Matey!  The kids’ Pirate moon chair appeals to kids a little bit older who are exploring their sense of adventure.  A perfect place to sit while exploring books or watching a movie.

Moon Chairs for Older Boys

WWE Wrestling Moon Chair

Designed for boys who are old enough to watch wrestling, the WWE saucer chair is the place to take a rest after expending all that energy.  The chair is blue and has the wrestlers John Cena, Triple H, and Batista. Unlike the other moon chairs for boys, this one is bigger and can hold up to 150 pounds.

Star Wars Moon Chair

This is another great chair for older boys or adults, as it is quite large.  The manufacturer says it is for kids ages 5 and older, and can hold up to 200 pounds.  It has a cool Darth Vader logo on it.

If you are wondering about the size of these chairs, most of the moon chairs for kids can hold up to 81 pounds (37.77 kg), although the Diego moon chair says it holds up to 100 pounds, which means it will probably hold kids up to 7 years old or so, depending on their weight.. They are suitable for toddlers that are able to climb in and out of seats like this by themselves, and want to have their own special place to relax and read a book, watch cartoons, or take a nap.  Most of the chairs say that they are for kids ages from 1 to 4.  Once kids get too big, you will probably need to upgrade and get them a moon chair for adults.  There are specially made models that will appeal to teenage boys.  Some have designs on them, and others are just a solid color.  If you want a design, the WWE Wrestling chair is a lot bigger than the other kids’ saucer chairs, and can hold 150 pounds, which is about the weight of your average teenager.

 

Sometimes it can be pretty tough to find good furniture for children.  While every kid has a little bed, chairs are a little different.  As soon as a toddler learns how to walk, they need some resting time in a chair.  Furniture stores are full of kids’ chairs, but many of these are hard and uncomfortable.  One of the best is moon chairs for kids, which are also called a saucer chair.  There are a few reasons for this.

First of all, moon chairs for kids are really comfortable.  They are designed to provide full body support, including for the head.  A kid can really sit back and relax in a moon chair, and can take a nap in one as well.  Kids’ moon chairs are made low to the ground so that toddlers can easily climb in and out of them by themselves.  The great thing about these kids’ saucer chairs is that they have such great designs that your child will really love it in his room.  Perhaps the greatest thing about moon chairs for children is that they are so reasonably priced.  Even for great designed models, they usually only cost around $20.  Let’s take a look at some of the most popular ones.

Moon Chairs for Boys

For boys, the most popular ones have good cartoon pictures on them.  For the really little fellas, the Diego moon chair (Dora the Explorer’s buddy) is a good bet.  These are good for kids that are 2 years old and up.  Children that are a little older tend to stop watching Dora, so one of the other cartoon characters will work great. Here are the other moon chairs for little boys:

  • Disney’s cars moon chairs:  They come in two different designs from the popular cartoon movie which most boys love
  • Disney toy story moon chair:  Popular for over a decade now!
  • Pirates moon chair:  From the immensely famous Pirates of the Caribbean movie with Johnny Depp
    WWE wrestling moon chair:  Suitable for older children who love wrestling

Moon Chairs for Girls

For the little girls, there is no question that the most popular characters are the Disney Princesses.  If you are looking for that special chair for a little girl, here are your choices:

  • Disney Princess Kids Moon Chair:  Has the three most popular Disney princesses on it: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella.
  • Disney Ariel Moon chair:  From the Little Mermaid movie
  • Dora the Explorer Moon Chair:  The #1 toddler’s television show.  There are a few different versions of the chair.
  • Disney Fairies Moon Chair:  There are a few different versions of this one as well, with all of the Disney Fairies on them.
  • High School Musical Moon Chair:  Great for older girls who are a bit old for the cartoons.

Kids Moon Chairs

 

If you are in the process of choosing a moon chair, there are a couple of things that you need to consider.  These include the size of the chair, the style and color, and texture of the material.  Moon chairs are great for all kinds of situations; you definitely need to choose one that is built for your size.  Let’s take a look at the chairs available.

One thing that you should know about these products is that while there are so-called adult moon chairs, they really only are meant for people up to a large moon chaircertain weight.  Most of the large moon chairs can handle up to 250 pounds.  These days, a large portion of society weighs more than that, so if that includes you, I would look for another type of chair.  Even the largest moon chairs, which is the Papasan Roundabout chair is only rated to hold 250 pounds.  The reason why a large moon chair can’t hold so much weight is because of the way the frame is designed.  While the sides are supported by the frame, the middle isn’t, and that is where most of the weight is concentrated.  The curved metal frame can only handle so much before it buckles.

Large Moon Chair Styles
There are a couple of different styles of moon chairs.  Basically, moon chairs for adults fall into two main categories:  Cheap ones and more luxurious models.  The Cheap moon chairs cost around $40 and work just fine. They are simple chairs, and work great both inside and out.  If you are looking for a moon chair that you can pack up and take with you wherever you need it, a cheaper one is the way to go.  They come in many colors, including red, black, brown, teal, green, and blue.  In addition, you can get a corduroy moon chair that adds a bit more comfort and texture for an inexpensive price.

If you are looking for a nice looking moon chair that will look great in the black large moon chairliving room and feel luxuriously comfortable, I recommend getting one of the better models.  They cost a bit more, but the cushion and style is well worth the price.  Also known as a papasan chair, roundabout chair or an oval chair, the deluxe versions feature a way better cover.  The difference is that the cover is filled with microfiber, and is plump and plush.  While the inexpensive moon chairs have covers that can’t really come off, these covers come right off for cleaning and hanging in the sun.

Are you having a difficult time deciding whether to get a simple, cheap moon chair or a more elaborate style that costs more, consider this:  Inexpensive moon chairs are great for the outdoors, or in rooms where you don’t care about having a simple piece of furniture like this in it.  They work great for kids or teenager rooms, and are wonderful for playing video games in.


 

If you are looking for a really comfortable chair for a low price, then you should really consider getting a moon chair. Although many people consider moon chairs to be just for kids, there are some wonderful ones that are made specifically for us big people as well.  There are a few different styles and varieties, so let’s take a look at some of them.

The first thing that differentiates moon chairs for adults from those for the kiddies is the size.  While a heavy adult would probably break the frame of a children’s chair, those meant for grownups can usually hold about 250 pounds.  There are a couple different ways that moon chair frames come. The most common one is made of steel, although it is possible to get a wicker moon chair as well.  The wicker ones definitely look a bit more stylish.

Many people have seen these moon chairs before, but don’t realize just how comfortable they are.  While normal chairs and sofas are great for certain things, in my opinion nothing beats a moon chair for just relaxing and reading a good book or watching a movie.  Good adult moon chairs will have a built-in cushion in the upper portion of the chair where your head rests.

Where to use a Moon Chair
One of the greatest things about moon chairs is that they are so easy to take with you on the road.  These comfortable chairs fold right up and fit inside a little carrying bag, which is usually included.  I know there are a lot of choices for outdoor lounge chairs that you can take to a sports game, picnic, camping, or even right in your backyard.  While others may feature nifty cup holders and what not, a large moon chair for adults is by far the best option for really relaxing in.  Since there is full head support, it is very easy to just fall asleep and take a nap in them.

Some people choose to just put one or two of these moon chairs in the living room, since they are so great for relaxing in.  If you are going to do this, it is wise to consider the color of the chair before you buy it.  Look at your living room and try to find a moon chair that matches the colors that are already there.  Many people have dark sofas and wooden furniture, and brown or black matches well.  If you want to add a bit more color, try a green moon chair, or even a red one, which believe it or not fits in well with most other colors.
Adult Moon Chair Prices
Arguably the best feature of these moon chairs is their low price.  For the comfort and versatility you get with these chairs that you can take anywhere, they sure come with a small price tag.  Most moon chairs for adults cost between $30 and $40, with a few that are a bit more expensive.  Sure, you can get those camp chairs at big box stores for a couple bucks less, but the difference is that they don’t have head support, and thus aren’t too comfy for napping in!
