Bulky Baby Recliners

The Babylounge is a Wide-Set and Sturdy Seating Solution for Youngsters

— December 14, 2013 — Art & Design
One can certainly appreciate the direction in which the design of infants' accessories is going, but there's something appealing about the Babylounge, which demonstrates one divergent priority. While plenty of baby seats are morphing into lightweight contraptions of convertible tubular steel, this one is manufactured with a full and broad base that makes it significantly less portable.

But Eric Jourdan's product is best kept at home; think of it as a tiny couch for your tot. Its wide and wonderfully cushioned bottom guarantees that it will not collapse and that it will remain safely planted upon the floor. And without requiring arched tracks underneath, the Babylounge's form allows it serve as a little rocking chair. Even if you don't travel with this small oscillating sofa, it promises reliability and incredible comfort.
Trend Themes
1. Sturdy Baby Furniture - Designing baby furniture with sturdiness as a top priority over portability can provide parents with peace of mind and reduce safety concerns.
2. Comfort-focused Baby Seating - Developing baby seating options that prioritize comfort and ergonomics over convenience can provide a unique selling point in the competitive baby product market.
3. Non-transportable Baby Equipment - Creating baby equipment that is not intended for travel or frequent movement can allow for more significant design elements that prioritize safety, comfort, and functionality in the home environment.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Furniture - Manufacturers of baby furniture can explore the market opportunity for sturdy and secure seating options that prioritize comfort over portability.
2. Baby Products - Developers of baby products can create unique value propositions by designing seating options that prioritize comfort and ergonomics over portability and convenience.
3. Home Goods - Designers and manufacturers of home goods can expand their offerings by catering to the growing demand for non-transportable baby equipment that prioritizes safety and reliability.
