It makes so much sense to skip buying a second one! Rereading everyone's logical responses now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843783 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 22:02:02 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1843783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're moving the glider to the baby's room and purchasing a comfy chair for story time instead for our toddler (preferably used, going to checkout some secondhand stores on Tuesday!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843710 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 20:04:30 +0000 mrsjyw 1843710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not there yet, but even now (DS is still in crib) it's half/half we read on his rug or the chair. So we'll likely keep the glider we have in the nursery and move DS' reading spot to his big boy bed when he transitions and/or just read on his rug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843636 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 19:06:15 +0000 skibobrown 1843636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't buy a second glider. I would probably move it to the 2nd child's room. The other possibility is to move it to a neutral location. Our glider lives in our bedroom now. We all come into our bedroom to do stories w/ DD before she goes to bed. Presumably, whenever we have a second child, both of them will do stories with us in our bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843572 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 16:33:32 +0000 autumnlove 1843572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved the glider into LO 2's room and I bought a new Ikea chair for LO 1's room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843569 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 16:32:38 +0000 regberadaisy 1843569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved the glider from LO 1's room to LO 2's nursery a few months before 2 arrived. We just read stories on her rug now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843561 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 15:54:14 +0000 MommySLP 1843561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: mine are 22 months apart. DD was already in a twin bed before baby was born but she loves to rock and read, sit in it by herself, etc. We bought an upholstered rocker/glider for baby's room and also use it every day. We bought it thinking that at some point it could possibly be used somewhere else in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843559 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 15:44:30 +0000 yellowbird 1843559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to get another glider. The one we have now isn't that great but we still use it everyday. We'll get a new upgrade for #2 and eventually get rid of the one is lo1's room </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843558 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 15:43:21 +0000 MamaBehr 1843558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had to replace a glider for that reason. The baby always stayed in our room until about 3 months (and by three months I mean 6!) and by that point the older child always seemed interested in a big kid bed. Once the big kid bed was achieved, we just read in bed with the kid (this has happened with DD and DS#1). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843548 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 15:13:56 +0000 knittylady 1843548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will be 15 months apart and I just broke down yesterday (due in 4 days) and ordered another glider for LO2. DS loves the glider in his room soooo much for nap time and bedtime stories, and I'm worried enough about jealousy issues etc, that I couldn't bear to move it from his room. I'm too soft haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843470 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 12:00:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 1843470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours will be the same age difference! We are moving glider to LO2 room. She won't be sleeping in there nights for awhile anyway, so if LO1 still wants to read a book in little sister's room we can do that.</p> <p>Eta: we are leaving LO1 in her crib as long as we can! Once she's eventually in a big girl bed we will read in/on bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843468 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:55:33 +0000 immabeetoo 1843468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: #1 will be 28months when #2 is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843452 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:38:11 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1843452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I wouldn't buy a 2nd glider. How far apart will you LO's be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843447 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:34:00 +0000 immabeetoo 1843447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: that's what I'm afraid of- that we'll buy a second glider and then not use it once he moves to a big boy bed.... BUT I am not trying to speed that up. I don't want to mess with his sleep until I absolutely have to, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843445 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:30:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1843445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept the same chair but moved it to the new nursery. We used to use the rocker to read books to DD1 every night but once we got her a big girl bed, we usually read book to LO1 on her bed or in her little chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-still-used-the-glider-with-1-and-had-2#post-1843437 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 11:27:04 +0000 immabeetoo 1843437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We adore our glider. We sit in it before every nap and nighttime to read, LO sits in it by himself. LO #2 is coming in spring and I'm trying to figure out should I...</p> <p>1. keep glider #1 with kid #1 and buy a different one for kid #2<br /> 2. buy kid#1 a bigger chair and move glider #1 to nursery#2<br /> 3. figure that kid#1 will want to read in bed once he is in a twin (not sure of when this will happen) and just transition him before kid#2 arrives, leaving kid#1 with no glider and kid#2 with old glider.</p> <p>thoughts?? other suggestions? </p>
