Gliders?

Emmaholmes89

Our nursery is almost done - all except for the glider. I wish I could go somewhere to check out options in person, but other than 2 display chairs at our nearest babies r us there's not been many options! So, I'm looking online and wondered if anyone had any suggestions? 

Btw - I'm 5ft8 and my boyfriend is 6ft4 so anything with a low back probably won't cut it!

I spent a lot on my glider... like I'm embarrassed at how much, but it was the best baby purchase I made.
I bought a Monte Luca glider and ottoman and it's amazing. I still use it every night with my 3 year old.

I think we got the Stork Craft Hoop Glider (the picture looks the same, at least). I'm only 5'6" though (DH 6'1"), so I can't speak as well for your height question. I'm short in my family, so I do understand your concern. The glider works well for us, and wasn't super expensive.

Weve only had our glider for a month but we both love it. He's 6' and sits comfortably.

I have the same one ^ but it was a light green color and didn't go with babygirls room theme so we re-did it! And i'm in love

I ordered one recommended on Lucie's List from a furniture store.  It was way more than I wanted to spend, but I'm hopeful it will last many years and be super comfortable and therefore worth it.

Thanks guys!! I'm still narrowing down, but this is so helpful. There's just so many choices out there!

I love ours. I'm 5'4 and hubby is 6'3 and we both think it's really comfy. https://www.hayneedle.com/product/baby-relax-colby-swivel-glider-dark-taupe.cfm

We went to babies r us and they had about 8 gliders you can sit in and try out. That stinks you only had 2 at your location. but you can also special order them in different fabrics. We ordered the "best chairs geneva espresso wood glider" and it is so comfy!

We bought a recliner/rocker/swivel chair and I can't say how much I LOVE IT. We bought it from Ashley Furniture, and got a deal because they were partnered with our library for 30% off.... But it's amazing. If you have an Ashley nearby, it's worth checking, but they are usually way expensive-so hope for a deal!

I shopped for gliders but ended up buying a lazyboy recliner that also rocks. It's good long term, it's in the family room now for TV watching purposes, I was going to put it in the nursery but now I'm thinking I'll just leave it in the family room and do late night feedings in there instead of nursery...

@lesperla looks super comfy! I was looking at the Aden + Anais Serenity Star... have you tested or used it yet? Curious to hear what you think of it.

We got the "best chairs Sutton" from babies r us and I couldn't be happier!! I'm 5'10 and my husband is 6'4 and while I'm the one who using it a majority of the time he likes it too. So comfy and I like how it comes up higher
