Many to be parents plan to purchase a glider rocker before their child is born. During the first several months of your wee one's life you will likely spend all hours of the day and night feeding and rocking your baby.
I am unsure why the glider rocker is so popular for nurseries but nonetheless, in every baby section of all stores the glider rocker is there begging to be purchased.
My personal opinion of the glider rocker is that they are uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I did want something to rock my baby in but I felt like we could accomplish this differently than my being uncomfortable.
When the birth of my first child was impending I knew I needed to find something to rock my miracle in that would be comfortable. I was also hesitant to pay a large amount of money on a chair that might only be used for one year.
My solution?
After trying out the more advanced glider rockers and rocking chairs of various shapes and sizes, I looked at recliner rockers. We went to La-Z-Boy and "test drove" several models of the recliner rockers. Finally I found the perfect chair. True that it was slightly more expensive than a basic glider rocker, but it was slightly less expensive that the more advanced glider rockers.
Two children later I am so thankful we went with the recliner rocker. I can tell you that there have been many nights over the past 3 years that either my husband or I have had to sleep with one of the kids in the recliner. The chair is not the same as a bed but it is definitely more comfortable to sleep on than a glider rocker.
And when my children no longer need me in the middle of the night and I can spend every night in my own bed, I can use the recliner as a recliner in my living room.
