When it comes to baby gear there is a ton of stuff on the market, but nothing quite like the Nuna Leaf. Minutes after unpacking the Nuna Leaf I received to review, it was clear this is really a unique product that every new mom will want!
Nuna is new to the US, a European company designed the chair to mimic what it would feel like to sway on a leaf in the breeze. What is truly unique about this product is the motion requires NO plugs or batteries! Just a simple little push has this motor free chair sways your baby into childhood!
Check out my Video Review:
So what do I love about the Nuna Leaf:
Check out these seriously cool features!
- weighs only 10.5 lbs.
- holds 130 lbs.
- sways 2 minutes without batteries
- easy assembly
- blends into your home
- switch lock feature to stop movement
- easy Velcro closure
- mesh backing
- organic insert
- machine washable
- grows with your child
The only thing I am not crazy about would be the Velcro. While it is super easy to use and allows you to get a snug fit on baby with minimal effort, don’t try to open it while baby is sleeping… it’s a bit loud. I got around this by slipping baby out the top. Clearly as you can see below my son had no issue sleeping in his Nuna Leaf.
I love that both of my children love and use the Leaf. My older son was thrilled to have something that he didn’t have to stay off of. It’s super easy to move around from room to room. It’s a little on the pricy side at $219 but it has a weight limit of 130 lbs. I plan on putting it in the boys room as a reading chair when they are older! Finally one piece of baby equipment that will last a lot longer than the super quick baby years. I wish I would have known about this earlier, it easily would replace my swing and bouncy chair with one sleek piece of baby gear that doesn’t look like baby gear!
The Nuna Leaf is available in the US in 3 different colors. Check out the Nuna store locater to find a retailer near you.

Hanan says
It holds 130 lbs? That’s crazy! I always worry that my older girls are going to break the baby swings, but they could sit in this too.
Emily says
They really could!
Jessica @FoundtheMarbles says
Wow! I can’t believe how much weight that little seat can hold!
Emily says
It’s crazy! The lady who showed it to me originally was able to sit in it!!
Jennifer (Savor) says
What a dreamy baby product. Believe it or not, I had a vision and plans to make this years ago but never followed through. Doh!
And yes, no velcro on baby products
Emily says
Oh man!!
Ellen Thrifty & Chic Mom says
That is a really cool infant seat I would love to try one with my next baby, I am adding this to my watch list!
Emily says
Ellen you will love it!
Xenia @ Thanks, Mail Carrier says
What a great product! I love that it can hold so much weight and how AWESOME that it doesn’t plug in or need batteries! LOVE that!!
Emily @ Baby Dickey says
I got to see this in person at the ABC Expo and LOVE IT. It really does sway without batteries, Rebecca sat in it forever, haha. I love that I could sit on it as it holds up to 130 lb hahaha. At ABC they had a GIANT one that I took advantage of and sat in it to nurse Rebecca, it was amazing and Nuna needs to make those so I can have one in my home lol.
Emily says
I saw that giant one – but someone else was sitting in it! If they made them I would SO buy one for the nursery and toss out the twin bed! LOL
Whitney @ It's Gravy, Baby! says
This looks SO neat! I love that it doesn’t require batteries or electricity and that it’s machine washable. Since it’s mesh, it would be fantastic for the hot summer months. I could see baby swaying in it in the shade of our tree. My 4 year old & 2 year old would probably fight the baby for it though! LOL
Emily says
My 4 year old does ask for his turn a fair amount… I am loving the mesh!
Carrie with Children says
I can’t get over the fact that it doesn’t use batteries and doesn’t need to be plugged in – that is so fantastic! Cost-effective and it looks super comfy for baby too. Wish this had been around when I had little ones – looks like a comforting place for a nap.
Emily says
I am loving that it doesn’t take batteries! I used WAY too many with the swing! My portable swing didn’t take as many, but baby already outgrew it!
Sara @ Mom Endeavors says
Oh my goodness, that is amazing!! I can’t believe it holds 130 pounds!! So many regular swings you can’t use after about 6 months or so because baby weighs so much the swing doesn’t work anymore. So, that is amazing!!
Emily says
Such a great point! I never thought of that! We just had to pack away our swing for that reason!
Becca - My Crazy Good Life says
What?! It holds 130 pounds? That’s awesome! This is a perfect product for parents who have children who have outgrown their swing but love it! What a sanity saver for parents!
Emily says
I didn’t even think of kids who are dependent on the swing!! They have such low limits!
Crystal @ Simply Being Mommy.com says
This looks really cool and Baby D seems to really enjoy sleeping in it LOL!
Emily says
He sure does! 🙂
Kelly @eclecticmommy says
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Nuna. I had no idea it was motorless though. I would’ve loved this for both my boys. Neither liked the swing, but this motion is more like a sway which they both love.
Emily says
My son is the same way – he wouldn’t stay in the swing very long, but he loves the swaying!
Jackie says
I love that it holds up to 130lbs! It really is something that you can use well past the infant stage. It if weren’t so expensive I’d consider getting one for my toddler right now.
Ashley says
Wow! That nuna leaf is a pretty awesome product. I’m surprised that it doesn’t require any plug-in or batteries! It’s funny, when watching the video I was like wow 130 lbs?! I wish I could sit in it…and then u said the same exact thing in the video. Hmm, might have to snag one for the new niece that’s coming this fall! Motivation to shed the lbs. for me? lol jk…sorta.
Emily says
Ha! I wish I could lose enough weight to check it out – but I’m 5’9 so it’s not likely. 🙂 Congrats on your niece!
Kathleen says
Wow, I am really impressed with this chair, although I am not sure why you would need the weight limit to be so high.
Emily says
You know, I don’t know why the limit is so high either, but it sure is nice that the kids can use it when they are older!
Jenn says
I like that it is so light weight!
Emily says
Me too!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I can’t believe how easy that was to fasten together. That movement is so soothing and gentle. I love it!
Emily says
I couldn’t believe it either – I dread opening boxes of baby gear just to spend way too much time putting them together. This was a welcome surprise!
Darcy @ Tales From the Nursery says
My kids would love this, though it’d be hard for me to justify the price. I do love that it doesn’t take batteries or a plug!
Emily says
It is expensive – but I really like the fact that I’m not going to be looking to sell it or donate it just because baby is mobile or over 25 lbs.
Kristin Barclay says
Baby gear is getting cooler and cooler with new technology.
Emily says
Right!?
Melissa says
Whoa! I haven’t seen anything like this. I think my girls would really love this. I absolutely love that you don’t have to plug it in or use batteries. I can’t believe how lightweight it is, yet holds so much – my 5 year old could fit! Plus, the machine washable is such a good idea – my girls are always spitting up!
Emily says
Oh man – the spit up is the worst! I can’t tell you how many times I looked at baby gear that was a hassle to wash and thought to myself I could just wipe it down… 🙂
Megan Chamberlin says
Forget the babies, I want one!! That looks like the answer to any mom’s prayers, and what a cute and useful replacement for a bouncer!
elizabeth @ beingmvp says
Love how easily he sleeps in it! I need one 🙂
Emily says
I think I’d have a hard time staying awake too! It’s been a great help around the house that’s for sure!
Jess says
I need this for Baby6! What an amazing baby product.
Emily says
Baby #6!! Yes you do! Not only will baby love it, but you won’t have to worry about the older kids breaking it! Congrats Jess!
Wendy @ ABCs and Garden Peas says
130 lbs? That’s fantastic! I would love to have something like this, because my 3yo just can’t seem to stay out of his baby sister’s seats and swings. Plus, it just looks so comfy! The fact that it doesn’t take batteries is an even bigger bonus 🙂
Emily says
Wendy my 3 now 4 year old was the same way! I felt so badly always telling him no. It’s nice not to have to say that anymore.
fancygrlnancy (Nancy Partin) says
Wow! I can’t believe it holds such a high weight. I love that it grows so much with your child. It looks really comfortable. I wish I had one… My boys would love this too.
Emily says
Thanks Nancy! We really do love it. I know it will last through all our babies and beyond!
Vanessa: thequeenofswag says
Wow that sounds like an amazing and well made seat that will grow with your baby.
Lolo says
I cannot believe it holds up to 130 pounds! The second picture of D sleeping in it shows how comfy it is!
Emily says
Right! Like father like son!
Dee says
I love the modern look of this and how much weight it holds – so cute!!
Jenn says
That looks so comfy! And I LOVE that it doesn’t need batteries or anything. I shared this post AND the YouTube video on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Pinterest 🙂
Kara says
There are so many great baby products out there now that I am done having kids. 🙂 Most of my baby products I bought when I had my oldest 10 years ago and things have definitely evolved in a good way. I love that this holds up to 130 lbs. No more worrying about the bigger kids breaking the baby products.
Angela says
This has so much going for it! I especially love how light weight and portable it is.
Adrienne says
The Nuna looks awesome. Love that it is portable. Packing 5 different things when I visit someone isn’t my cup of tea and this looks like the perfect option for a traveling mom.
Jenn- The Rebel Chick says
Wow that this is awesome! Seriously you could use it for years with that weight limit.
Meg says
I am looking at this for our newborn…that way my toddler can climb all over it without me worries about it breaking. My biggest disappointment was that it didn’t have a toy bar. I see that you are using a toy bar with it. What is the name and brand of the toy bar in your pictures?!? Thank you!
Emily says
Hi Meg! Thank you for asking! Here is the link! It’s the Tiny Love Sunny Stroll (Amazon)
Emily says
PS – My baby is currently rocking himself back and forth in it now! 🙂
