We decided that we should just spend the money and have something really comfortable and well made rather than skimping on the quality. I can't wait for it to get here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-recommendations-for-tallish-parents#post-1775077 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 21:25:10 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1775077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Yes but they sell so fast!</p> <p>I will check out those other options!

We have the ottoman to go with it.<br /> <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=24792496&#038;prodFindSrc=prodCrossSell" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=24792496&#038;prodFindSrc=prodCrossSell</a></p> <p>It's a bit outside your budget but I'd watch for sales because I think we got ours 20% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-recommendations-for-tallish-parents#post-1770028 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 13:26:40 +0000 ShayNanigans 1770028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take a look at the Best Chair Benji. You can use a 20% off coupon at Buy Buy Baby and spend about $500. It has a taller back and is a glider recliner. A bit over your budget, but - because it's a recliner/glider - you don't need to purchase an additional ottoman. Almost 100 fabric options, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-recommendations-for-tallish-parents#post-1769905 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 11:26:15 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1769905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are other threads on here for glider recommendations, but I couldn't find anything that really answered what we are looking for. Actually, I know what we are looking for: The Newco Rosie Chenille Glider from Babies r Us. Unfortunately they have discontinued it so there isn't really a way to find it :( I am hesitant to buy something that they no longer make anyway because of repair issues or replacement slip covers that we may need down the line.</p> <p>So we are searching yet again. We are on the taller side (I'm about 5'9" and DH is 5'11", nothing crazy) but I really want something I can rest my head against. Other gliders are a little too short for that. Also, it has to be soft when you sit in it, kind of like a recliner. I have back problems and it's hard for me to sit on a firmer surface for prolonged periods of time. I also don't like the look of the traditional glider/rock with exposed wood, I prefer the recliner look.</p> <p>Our budget is hopefully under $400. I don't want to break the bank on this as we have so many other things we still need to get. Any recommendations? Thanks!</p> <p>P.S. It doesn't have to have an ottoman, but it would be nice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rocking-chair-wwyd#post-1761587 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:34:24 +0000 mrsjyw 1761587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: woot! i would've def gotten rid of it, glad it's helping a new mama too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rocking-chair-wwyd#post-1761458 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 07:54:57 +0000 Alivoo01 1761458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rocking-chair-wwyd#post-1760537 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 15:10:26 +0000 .twist. 1760537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I know a soon-to-be mama and I was thinking about giving it to her...

If you do have another baby, you can get a more comfortable chair, whether its a rocker or just a regular chair. I definitely wouldn't hang on to a chair you hate on the off chance that you have another baby and want to BF in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rocking-chair-wwyd#post-1759628 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:05:44 +0000 .twist. 1759628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: @Smurfette: @pinkcupcake: @NovBaby1112: Thanks ladies! this is totally the way I'm leaning.</p> <p>@pinkcupcake: I never thought about using craigslist!

What would you do in my situation?</p> <p>I have a rocking chair from Ikea in L's nursery. I used it while breastfeeding but we are done that now and we read stories on the floor. So it doesn't get used any more. </p> <p>We are undecided if we want to have another baby.<br /> I think the chair is insanely uncomfortable.<br /> We don't have a lot of storage space.<br /> But what if I DO have another baby? </p> <p>What would you do? Get rid of it and buy something new in the event of a new baby? I don't have hundred of expendable cash to just toss around for new furniture all the time, but for the reasons above I also don't really want to keep this... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-my-glider#post-471685 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 01:12:51 +0000 skibobrown 471685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I'm jealous. I stalked craigslist for gliders for ages, and never found anything worth bragging about. We finally gave up and bought a new Babyletto glider off of Amazon for $$. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-my-glider#post-471669 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:18:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 471669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice!!
