Choosing the best nursery gliders or baby rocking chairs can certainly be overwhelming, but my hope is this guide will help you find the best fit for your nursery.
The nursery gliders and rocking chairs on our list are all Amazon bestsellers.
(Please note, there are affiliate links in this post)
You will find the entire list below, but here are my top 3 picks:
- Storkcraft Premium Hoop Glider (Best Budget-Friendly Nursery Glider)
- DaVinci Olive Swivel Glider (Most Popular Nursery Glider)
- Babyletto Madison (Best Nursery Glider for a Small Space)
Should I Buy a Nursery Glider or a Nursery Rocker?
You can choose between gliders and rockers when choosing a nursery chair.
While both rockers and gliders move back and forth, a glider will provide a bit of a gentler motion which is perfect for baby.
That being said, I know many moms who love their rocking chairs, so it truly comes down to personal preference.
How Do I Choose the Best Nursery Glider or Baby Rocking Chair?
Choosing the best nursery glider for your space is relative to your needs, but start considering the features that are important to you in a nursery chair.
These features include:
