Holiday 2010 Giveaway: Guidecraft Children's Papagayo Rocker [CLOSED]

If you are seeking an alternative gift to toys this year for a child in your life, I think I have found a wonderful candidate. This children's rocking chair from Guidecraft could not have been a bigger hit in our house. I told our three children that this was a reading chair, as we keep it right next to the bookcase in our living room. All three children have been fighting over who gets the next turn to sit in this rocker. We actually had to create some rules about taking turns and how long each turn would be. Best of all, our children have been reading books more than ever!

Out of the 78 different children's rockers available from Guidecraft, I chose the Papagayo Rocking Chair because, although it has a tiny bit of pink in the design, this chair works for households with both boys and girls. Also, the dark wood trim and the earth tones really allow this chair to blend in well with the rest of the decor in our living room.


This chair does require assembly and it took my husband about 20 minutes to put it together by himself. He said that the most challenging part was lining up the holes in the seat.


This chair is made out of hardwood and is very solid and sturdy. It definitely falls into the category of real furniture, as opposed to toy furniture.


In addition to the turned legs and the whimsical paintings, one other detail I love about this chair is the raised relief. This gives the three animals a slight 3-dimensional effect and adds to the charm of this piece of furniture.

The seat height of this rocker is 14", which is another reason why I chose this particular chair. Our almost 4 year old twins can just touch the floor with their toes, so this chair should last them several years. It is also still a great fit for our nearly 7 year old son.
