Buy another glider or recover first one?

My son (19mos) has a glider in his room that was a lifesaver in the first year but it's rarely used now because he sleeps through the night and done nursing. DH and I are trying to decide if we want to buy another glider or just transfer DS's to new baby room. My best friend has two little ones and recommended keeping the glider and getting an additional for baby 2's room (her boys are 2 and 4, mine will be about 2 year apart) because she's used when they are both sick, etc. and was glad she had one in each room. DH doesn't want to buy another glider and just transfer to baby 2's room.

1. Are you buying a second glider if you have a toddler + this one on the way? Or do you have two little ones and two gliders and think two is the way to go?

2. Glider does not match scheme I want for baby 2 so if we do transfer I'd like to recover the cushions with new fabric or get slip covers. Anyone done this or investigated? I saw a few patterns/covers online but wanted some opinions or stories on how a recover went.

Putting new covers on it should be no big deal. We'll be using the same rocker in the future for all children.

We are using the same glider we just made sure to incorporate green somewhere in the new nursery. Our glider is a VERY pale green and cream gingham print. it's really cute! We plan to use it with all future babies as well

Use the same one.  There are so many reasons to spend money on a baby, this is not one of them.  I say recover the one you have, it can't be that difficult.

I agree with above posters, keep the one you have and move it to the new baby's room. I never use the one I have for DS anymore so will be using it in baby boy's room when he arrives.
