With one kid, story time is easy, anywhere, anytime. With two kids, it’s still not bad, just choose a couch or an oversized chair, with one kid on each side. But what happens when kid three comes along?
One dad came up with the perfect solution for a storytime rocking chair with three seats–one kid on each side in elevated seats and room for the third on his lap. This way, everyone could see the book.
Hal Taylor (@rockingchairsbyhal on Facebook) already built rocking chairs when his children were born. He realized, after his third child, that he needed a chair that could accommodate all three of his kids for reading time with dad:
When Rose was born, she proved herself to be the “communicator” in the family very quickly, speaking in complete sentences with perfect diction. Well – she was NOT going to be left out of the reading crowd! This presented a problem for me because, not having a lap large enough for three children, this meant that Rachael, the oldest, had to stand by the chair at story time.
The StoryTime Rocking Chair was his solution. This rocking chair is made from pieces that could make over 20 other chairs combined, in order to build seating that allowed all three kids to see the story he was reading.
Two elevated seats were perfect for his oldest children to still see the book, while his youngest was able to snuggle into his lap and not block the view for her sisters. Who wouldn’t want a chair that fits everyone?
Taylor says he has made about 35 of these chairs over the course of his career, including five for the royal family of Dubai! It’s a rocker fit for a king.
