We use it for after bath snuggles, morning snuggles, and especially naps and bedtime routine. DH just tightened the screws not too long too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1505884 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:19:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1505884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ours lived through two kids so we used it 4 years. i would have kept it but we didn't have the space in our new apartment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1505878 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:15:31 +0000 mrsjyw 1505878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 16 months and we still use it daily! :) story time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496628 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 08:43:34 +0000 Anya 1496628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of gliders now are really stylish and can easily transition to a sitting room/living area when you're done nursing. Maybe look for one in a color/style that could also go in another part of your home so you can keep using it after LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496608 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 07:45:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1496608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a nice one and I'm so glad we did. We still sit in it to read books and sit in it as we get her ready for bed. Plus, if you're thinking of having another, you'll get your money out of it if you're nursing. LO #2 is due in a week, so we'll use it for at least another year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496594 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 07:10:37 +0000 bpcmarj 1496594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cheap one that we got broke after very heavy daily use when she was around a year old. I would for sure still be usuing it daily if it still was functional at 22 months. Maybe I will check craigslist today :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496445 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 21:59:43 +0000 Periwinkle 1496445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 16 months old and we still use ours daily for both nursing, stories, and when we're just hanging out in LO's room. I hope that we'll use it for a long time to come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496441 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 21:50:45 +0000 winniebee 1496441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is 22 months and we use it daily. We got one that looks like a piece of furniture and is apholstered. We got it from Jordan's furniture and it is flexteel brand I think. Sooo comfy. We will never get rid of it. Probably will put it in another room like a study when done having kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496436 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 21:45:38 +0000 pregnantbee 1496436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a La-Z-Boy and are still using it constantly at 21 months. I've even slept it in lately since my toddler keeps waking and wants me near so he can fall asleep again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496426 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 21:31:35 +0000 kiddosc 1496426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 months and we still use it multiple times a day.

I see us using it this way for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496374 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:30:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1496374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: our original recliner was awesome but HUGE so, we just did this and my son is 17m! We kept it inexpensive though. We opted for one that can later be used in our office as well so we wouldn't be "wasting" it. We went back and forth between the following 2 options but ultimately chose the massage chair.<br /> <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Office-Supplies/Comfort-Relaxzen-8-motor-Massage-Recliner/6162132/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Office-Supplies/Comfort-Relaxzen-8-motor-Massage-Recliner/6162132/product.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Taupe-Swivel-Rocker-Recliner-with-Ottoman/6230684/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Taupe-Swivel-Rocker-Recliner-with-Ottoman/6230684/product.html</a></p> <p>They both glide/rock as well as recline! And both come with ottomans. I can't speak on how great it is yet because I just ordered it 2 days ago and it isn't here yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496298 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:31:25 +0000 swedishfish 1496298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, we stopped using ours when I started nursing in bed...so R was maybe 3 months old? Now we give her bottles on the couch. We actually moved our glider to the living room to make more room in the nursery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496295 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:26:28 +0000 shopaholic 1496295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still use ours at 12 months. She goes through phases of liking to be rocked. Still use it for nursing. I'm planning on getting it slip-covered for the future. And I'm surprised how much I actually use the ottoman too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496282 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:16:51 +0000 Smurfette 1496282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use it every night for bedtime stories at 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496280 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:14:18 +0000 petunia354 1496280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister still uses hers with her 3 year old, Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496273 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:06:40 +0000 Veggiemama 1496273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used mine multiple times a day (and night) for the past 3+ years with 2 kids!

When #2 comes it'll be moving to the new nursery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496268 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:02:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1496268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J is two and we still use ours all the time! we invested in a nice upholstered chair that rocks and swivels, though. So we keep it in our living room. whenever J has middle of the night wake ups, he asks to be rocked. We read books in the chair daily, and it's my favorite place to sit because of how comfortable it is!</p> <p>If you're interested it is the Best Chairs Quinn glider: <a href="http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/gliders-recliners/best-chairs/best-chairs-quinn-upholstered-swivel-glider" rel="nofollow">http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/gliders-recliners/best-chairs/best-chairs-quinn-upholstered-swivel-glider</a><br /> We bought it at a floor sample sale at a local baby store for a fraction of the price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496267 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:01:40 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1496267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is just about 4.5 months and I'm rocking in ours now! I foresee us using it for SURE for nights for a long time and probably keep using it for when I nurse close to naps, love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-you-use-your-glider#post-1496264 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:58:37 +0000 Ra 1496264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we had B, we assumed that we wouldn't use the nursery glider very often and opted to buy a cheap one. Today, we were discussing how uncomfortable it is and how we use it a lot more than we anticipated. DH suggested we bite the bullet and invest in a nice one. However, LO is already 9 months. Would it be worth it at this point? If so, any recommendations for a nice, comfy glider/ottoman set? </p>
