What to Look for in Nursery Gliders & Rockers

There is nothing more comfortable for an expecting mom or new mom than a glider or rocker in the nursery or baby's room (or any other room Mom needs to be able to relax in). You'll have your nursery glider rocker for many years, and it'll get used by the new little ones in the house, so you'll want to choose carefully. What do look for? Upholstery should be easy to remove and spot clean (many gliders and rockers use snaps); padded upholstered arm rests; look for a glider rocker with ottoman so you can put your feet up (most matching ottomans are also gliding ottomans); solid wood construction; metal enclosed ball bearings for smooth gliding; wide seating area; pouches or bags on the sides. Most nursery gliders and rockers require some assembly. Stork Craft and Graco are leading brands you can trust for your new glider rocker. Shop Stork Craft nursery glider rockers here.
