Have you ever thought about how many hours you’ll spend sitting once your baby arrives? Feeding, settling, soothing, reading, resting… the right chair becomes more than just furniture. It’s a support system, a place where the little moments of parenthood unfold.
The Celeste Electric Nursery Chair was designed with those moments in mind. The chair that holds you like a hug, Celeste combines three key features - glide, swivel and one-touch electric recline - to make life gentler in the newborn months and just as enjoyable for years to come.
Here’s how each feature works, and why it will quickly become your favourite spot in the home.
Glide: A gentle motion that soothes both of you
The Celeste’s smooth glide motion is quiet and calming, designed to help babies settle while giving parents a natural way to relax.
The benefits of gliding include:
-
Mimicking the familiar back and forwards rhythm babies know from the womb, which can encourage calm and sleep
-
Offering a soothing, repetitive movement for parents that relieves tension in the shoulders and back
-
Creating a comforting ritual for bedtime stories or quiet bonding as your child grows
It’s a subtle feature that turns late nights and early mornings into moments of calm.
Swivel: Freedom to move without getting up
With a smooth 240-degree swivel, the chair glides side to side so you can effortlessly face the cot, your partner or the window - no twisting or back strain required.
Why it matters for new parents:
-
Adjusting your position is effortless, even if you’re sore or recovering from birth
-
Keeps everything within easy reach for feeds or resettles
-
Helps you stay present and connected in the room without constantly getting up
Later on, swivel makes it just as practical for bedtime stories or casual relaxation in any living space.
One-touch electric recline: Comfort at the push of a button
We know that reclining with a newborn in your arms or a body healing during postpartum can be challenging. That’s why Celeste’s one-touch electric recline glides the backrest and footrest into place with a single button press, so there’s no awkward heaving or reliance on your core muscles.
Why you’ll appreciate this most in the early months:
-
Gentle movement supports your postpartum recovery by reducing strain
-
Lets you settle into the perfect position for feeding or resting without disturbing baby
-
Smooth, whisper-quiet motion creates a sense of safety and calm
And because this feature never stops being useful, it will quickly become your go-to for reading, watching TV, or simply unwinding long after the newborn stage.
The chair that holds you like a hug
Celeste isn’t just a nursery chair. It’s a space designed for the many hours and many memories of early parenthood. Those quiet feeds, bedtime stories, and the rare moments to simply exhale. With its thoughtful glide, swivel and recline features, it adapts to your needs from the very first day and remains a comforting part of family life for years to come.
