<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nRocking chairs have been around since the early 18th century and they\u2019re still a great way to get babies to fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A glider is the modern version of a rocking chair with a slightly different motion. Instead of rocking back and forth a glider, as its name suggests, makes you feel as though you and your baby are gliding through the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we are spoilt for choice when it comes to gliders. They come in all shapes and sizes and with a variety of features. If you are browsing the market for one, why not consider a glider that can also recline?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dutailier Sleigh is multi-functional; it\u2019s both a glider and a recliner. The back rest is fully adjustable allowing you to lie back and relax with your baby. It has a handy mechanism which locks the chair into one of six positions. With this feature you can easily find the perfect angle for feeding and cradling your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cushions and arms are well padded for added comfort. The ottoman which is included with the chair is also a glider which creates a smooth and continuous movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for maximum comfort from a glider and you\u2019re willing to spend a bit more, the Dutailier Sleigh is a good option. You\u2019ll be spending lots of time in your glider when you\u2019re nursing so comfort is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recliner allows you to get extremely comfortable during your feeds, you may even nod off to sleep once you\u2019re done. If you find a position that works for you, no problem, you can lock the chair into position and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This chair has all the bells and whistles of your average glider with the bonus of being a recliner too. You\u2019ll even love it after baby has grown and you\u2019re reclining in front of the television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you prefer an all-in-one recliner instead of a recliner with ottoman and glider, the Naomi Home Odelia Swivel Gliding Rocker Recliner offers this. It swivels 360\u00b0 and glides back and forth. The movement of this chair is operated by a conveniently placed lever giving you full control over the chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re going to buy a glider you may as well spend a bit more and get the reclining option. You\u2019ll want to keep the chair after your baby has outgrown it and a recliner is a very useful and comfortable piece of furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rocking is the quickest way to soothe your baby to sleep. The back and forth gliding motion gives enough movement to find what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
