Glider advice needed from you mamas!

pollykinz · September 2009

So my sister told me I HAVE to get a glider that reclines because she so wishes hers did. The problem is I have only found 2 that I like that recline and the one I can afford is VERY hard and uncomfortable, the other one is way too much money. Do you wish yours reclined? Do you think it's really going to matter? Her baby won't sleep in the crib much so I know she's often holding her all night so I can see why she'd wish hers reclined, but I don't plan to be sitting in mine all night. I don't really think reclining is going to be a big deal, but she swears I'll wish it did - is this just something personal, or does anyone else wish they had one that reclined???? Thanks ladies

Nope. Two babies and I can't say I ever wished that my glider reclined.

I bought a rocker/recliner instead of a glider (on sale at Slumberland for $239) and I honestly don't use the reclining option all that often.

I love the chair, and am glad that I bought it because it is super comfy, and I spend soooo much time in it. Plus, I will continue to use the piece of furniture after I am done using it as a rocker for baby.

I didn't realize there were gliders that reclined! I do recommend having some kind of footstool, but I've never really wished that my glider reclined. If the baby falls asleep on my chest or something and I want to let him sleep there I just lie on my bed. I do recommend having a "hubby" pillow for bed. I spent many nights early on half-dozing with the hubby behind me and the baby braced at my boob with a pillow.

Mine reclines and I have used that feature but not enough to have to have it in the recliner.

it does recline and i found that helpful so i could rest and even nap in the glider at times.

I love my glider. It was a cheap one too, I ended up getting it right at $200 on sale and with a 15% off coupon. And I am pretty sure it does recline, but I never use that. https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2878567

we have a best chairs glider - storytime series - with the matching gliding ottoman. this allows you to be able to put your feet up but continue to rock. I definitely slept in our glider this way.

Ours reclines and I do use that feature fairly often. We ponied up the money to buy the $500 glider from BRU, and I am very glad we did. Both DH and I have dozed off in the glider more than once.

Thanks ladies! Going to go to BRU again tomorrow to sit in a few and decide.

Ours reclines and I love it. I actually bought it off the internet so that I could order all of the options that I wanted, since BRU never had it in stock. Good luck.

I spend most of my time in it nursing and reading, both of which I need to be upright so I don't mind not having the recline.

Mine reclines and I LOVE that it does. Its not the greatest chair in the world. I bought it at shopko (kind of like Target but smaller). Its technically an office chair but it reclines, glides, and has an ottoman that also glides and I got it for $90 on sale. My suggestion is try out the chairs at BRU to find what you like but them buy it at a regular furniture store-SO much cheaper. Anything from a baby store is generally rediculously marked up. HTH

All of this exactly.. I will also say that while I do often wake up with my head slumped over and a sore neck from falling asleep in the glider.. I don't know that i would want one that reclined.. First of all, the recliners with the footrests that pop up scare me.. I am always afraid that a cat or a baby is going to get stuck underneath them.. Second of all.. Its hard to recline and nurse (or bottle feed for that matter)..
