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>
