Moon Chairs for Girls

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.

Moon Chairs: Great for Adults and Kids

Who would have thought that such a simple design for a chair would turn out to be so popular?  As it turns out, moon chairs are absolutely wonderful for relaxing, reading a book, or watching TV.  Although they aren’t the fanciest looking chairs in the world, they sure are comfortable.  Despite their casual appearance, you can get a moon chair in any number of designs.

Additionally, there are moon chairs that are designed specifically for adults, or a smaller one meant for children.  You might have heard these chairs called by another name, but they are all the same.  Other names include the saucer chair and the sphere chair.  All three of them are named after their cool shape.

Our Most Popular Moon Chairs

One of the best things about these chairs is that you can fold them up and store them in the closet if you want.  As for cleaning, some moon chair covers can come off easily, and some can’t.  You will need to check with the manufacturer before buying to see if yours will come off.  This is an important factor, since eventually the fabric cover will get dirty and need washing.  It is a lot simpler if you can just remove it and toss it into the washing machine. Try doing this with a normal chair!  As for buying these chairs, if you try shopping at a local store, chances are that you will only have a couple of options.  Shopping on the internet, on the other hand, will allow you to choose from any of the dozens of styles that are made from various manufacturers.  Let’s take a look at some of the most popular moon chairs that are available.

Moon Chairs for Adults
Although many people picture kids sitting on moon chairs, there are actually plenty of moon chairs for adults.  As you might have guessed, the ones designed for adults don’t usually have crazy cartoon pictures on them, and most of them are in darker, toned-down colors.  You can get a large moon chair in the following colors:  brown, black, pink, green, teal, blue, and camouflage.

A company named Tofasco makes a large moon chair that has a different kind of cover on it. Instead of a smooth fabric cover, theirs is corduroy, which in my opinion kind of adds to the comfort.  Their chairs are plenty big enough for adults to sit in, and the sturdy steel frame has a weight limit of 250 pounds. The corduroy version is called a fuzzy moon chair, because of the fabric.

Due to their light weight and fold-up convenience, many people actually take an adult moon chair with them camping, or use it outside on the patio or lawn.  They are actually cheaper than a lot of camp chairs and after a long day outside, it feels great to be able to relax in one of these chairs and recline, instead of hunching over on a wooden bench or log!  The famous outdoor company, Cabela’s makes their own version for outdoor use.  Cabela’s moon chair has a camouflage patterned cover, and a few extra perks that other chairs like this don’t come with.  For one, it has a padded seat, and in the upper part its headrest has a built-in pillow.  If you don’t care about what company made it, you can just get a cheap green moon chair or something like that for about $40.

If you are looking for moon chairs for teens, they are pretty much the same ones as those that you would buy for adults, since kids grow up so quickly during these years.  If you are looking for a present for your teenage kid, large moon chairs are great for a few reasons.  First, they are inexpensive, so if they get trashed, you can just toss it and get a new one after a few years.  Second, they are perfect for just hanging out, which seems to be what teenagers do best!  The only difference is probably going to be in the color.  Teenage girls will probably like one of the brighter colors like pink or teal for their room.

Moon Chairs for Kids
Children especially love moon chairs, and if you get one of them for your kid, I can guarantee you that they will log some serious hours sitting in it.  Chances are they will fall asleep in there too.  The good thing about moon chairs for kids is they come in colors and styles that children love.  It doesn’t matter if you have a boy or girl, there is surely a design that will suit them.  Here are some of the most popular ones:

Pretty much all of these saucer chairs for boys cost between $20 and $30.  The exception is the Star Wars version, which costs a little more.
