The Highchair I Heart! : Joovy Nook (Review Only)



Joovy is no stranger to the Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports household. I'm sure you remember the Joovy Ergo Caboose and judging by the interest we had in the product, I was interested to explore yet another one of Joovy's products that has generated a lot of buzz...the Joovy Nook.


The Buzz:

This 15 lb, 43" tall highchair is, to put it simply, "Fantastic"!

The features include:

A Swing open tray that opens with one hand. The tray is removable and also has a dishwasher safe tray insert.


The high chair seat is made with top of the line, wipeable leatherette (color options: black or white) or high quality, machine washable fabric (color options: orange or green).


Your child is buckled in with a 5-Point Harness that is wipeable.


And finally, the high chair easily folds to a compact 9.5" height.



E.B. Mommy's Report:

Bunny Boo was sent a white leatherette Joovy Nook mid November and now, two months later after having tested this out with every meal, I can say I am thrilled with this highchair.

I was initially very apprehensive with the white leatherette and had convinced myself that I'd end up with tan stains by the end of the first month itself. As if to put the seat to the test, Bunny Boo had a massive poop explosion after week 2, while in the pristine white chair and at the moment my heart sank. Thankfully Hubby was at home at the time and while he rescued my poop smothered infant, I hurried to rescue the beautiful leatherette. It took me a little while to tactfully remove the leatherette and the hoops attaching the same to the chair but once done, it just took a quick pressure wash under the garden hose, an overnight line dry and the seat looked as good as new....not a stain!


Sure the seat passed the poop stain test but what about the 'Master of All Baby Food Stains'-Carrot Puree?....Well, there hasn't been a single carrot puree stain I haven't been able to remove yet, so yes the Joovy Nook passes my Mommy Approval test with flying colors!


If I had to tell you why I thought this would be the best highchair to get for your infant I'd sum it up with this....

1. The Joovy Nook is easy to clean.

2. My wriggly Bunny Boo sits secure and comfortably when strapped in.

3. The tray is easy to wash and wipe down.

4. It can be used by Bunny Boo till he weighs 50 lbs (though I doubt I would actually keep seat him in this till then!)

5. The Joovy Nook is sturdy and definitely worth the investment and I'm sure it will look just as great even after being passed on and used by two or three more babies!

6. It's also easy to set up and fold in the requirement of storing it away when you have guests visiting or need to pack it in the car before a vacation.

7. Oh and I just had to add this too....the highchair does look sophisticated and elegant in the dining area, unlike many of the highchairs you see in the market


I know you want to buy it!


You can buy the Joovy Nook for 129.99 US$ (with free shipping within the US)

Two's company with Joovy's Ergo Caboose (Review + Reader's Discount only)



If you have 2 little ones in the house, you really should consider investing in a Joovy Ergo Caboose. This is one of the nicer double strollers out there in the market only because it's more durable, easy to set up, pack and carry....Oh and did I mention, extremely convenient for Mom and Dad?

When the Joovy Ergo Caboose came home, Hubby enlisted the help of a friend to set up the stroller as we both thought it would be too heavy for me to help him with and looking at how compact the box was, the large stroller could possibly be hard to set up.......

Guess what?....
We were pleasantly surprised!



This double stroller weighs 30 pounds, a little on the bulky side but extremely sturdy. Once you get the plastic wrapping off, set up is 'easy-peasy lemon squeezy'!



Attaching the wide based wheels was quick as they just required to be snapped into position. They rear wheels come with a brake lever to allow the stroller to stay in a secure halt position and the rear wheels are also pneumatic with a tire pump.
(All 4 wheels are sealed ball bearing wheels.)



I particularly love the large storage basket at the bottom which is so useful especially when you take the little ones outdoors for long intervals.



I can see us using this very conveniently at Disney's parks or Seaworld, once Bunny Boo is a little older.
2 little ones sheltered comfortably in the shade, all our belongings safely stowed away in the large basket....Happy Mommy and Daddy...Happy kiddos!
(Hubby's only 'hold-back' on my suggestion was his concern that someone would walk away with this great stroller while we had it parked while enjoying a show/ride!...Totally understandable!!)

The front seat on the stroller has the option of affixing the snack tray or two cup holders - one for the rider in the front and another for the rider at the back.



Another feature that's one of my favorites is the large protective canopy that can shade/shelter both riders.



The front seat is ergonomically designed and can move into 2 incline positions. Not very cushioned but fashioned for good back support. (The front seat's harness belt can be adjusted based on the child's age.)



It is suggested that a child be placed in the front seat only after he/she turns 6 months old and can be seated there till he/she reaches a maximum weight of 45 lbs and/or a maximum height of 40".



The rider at the back can sit on the contoured platform seat or stand to survey all that lies ahead (This has a seat belt too). It's safe to wait till the rear rider turns 2.5 years old to sit/stand at the back and can continue to ride 'on board' till he/she reaches the maximum weight limit of 45 lbs and/or a maximum height of 45". (The seat at the back can be flipped open to access the storage basket below.)

Now here's the icing on the cake for us.....

We don't have to wait till Bunny Boo turns 6 months old to use this stroller. We can adjust the front seating to allow for his infant car seat to be placed securely on the beam and have Bunny girl sit comfortably in the front.


Finally storing the Joovy Ergo Caboose is no struggle at all. It folds down compactly enough to fit into my Corolla without a snag. (Ofcourse once it's in there isn't any space for anything else to be stored as it lies 49" in length.)



I think this is a great double stroller for the price and for the features. (Though if you are looking for a lighter model which is not as expensive, you can consider the Joovy Caboose Ultralight 2010 )
If both your little ones are closer in age proximity, investing in this is well worth every buck spent as it is durable, sturdy and comes with every feature you could possibly need in a double stroller.
