Should I bother w/a glider?

I really wanted to get a gliding loveseat or chair and a half so DH and I could both sit on it.  Also, I figured something like that would grow with us.  I can see using it for story time when they're older.  But they are so expensive that I don't think it's in the cards for us.  So I'm wondering if I should even bother with a regular glider.  It seems like most MoMs end up using a sofa or bed to tandem BF.  And after they wean, I'm not sure it would be of any use.  Thoughts?

We are getting a loveseat for the nursery when we move.  Gliders are great but sometimes the tandem nursing pillow doesnt fit 'em, so you dont end up using it.

We just ordered ours last night; we splurged and got a really nice one that we can use in another part of the house once the babies are older.  DH and I both really wanted one to rock the babies in and for when I am pumping.  Good luck.

I got a nice wide one, and I still use it for storytime.

We have a rocking/reclining love seat in the living room so that was awesome. We also got a lay-z-boy glider swivel rocker for in the girls room. I would probably die without it. When we first put the girls in the crib, I wanted to sleep in there too, so I crashed in the rocker a couple times. Then I was so friggen tired that I went to my own bed across the hall... after two whole nights :-P

I love my glider and use it often with just one baby.

My kids LOVE the feel of the glider.  Jack loves to lay belly down on the ottoman and "fly".  He kick kick kicks and I push him ever so lightly.  Always watching him!!!  Molly loves to be cuddles up  and rocked in the glider, too.  More so than the rocker/recliner I got from lazyboy.
