I love it because it's cute and can easily be moved out of the way. My sister has a gliding ottoman and I am not a fan personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213862 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 17:18:36 +0000 lady baltimore 2213862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks like I am in the minority, but I hate sitting in a gliding chair with a gliding ottoman. I find it easier to get comfy, and to get positioned well with baby, with a stationary ottoman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213771 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:25:59 +0000 kiddosc 2213771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213733 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:56:56 +0000 birdofafeather 2213733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yes, i love that thing!! we use it daily still and i know i'll be camped out in it again come fall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213727 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:54:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2213727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't say I've ever used the gliding ottoman with ours.<br /> @kiddosc: mine was inexpensive in general. I gotta say, after a second baby and hundreds of hours spent in that chair I wished I would've splurged on a super fancy plush one. Mine isn't holding up so well after 3 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213692 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:20:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2213692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gliding ottoman with ours and it's great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213689 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:18:10 +0000 Bubbles 2213689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a gliding one and I did really like it. I did find that after gliding for a while it would start to slowly move away from me from the motion (this was on carpet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213598 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 13:03:09 +0000 mrsrugbee 2213598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my gliding Ottoman!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213560 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 12:17:02 +0000 hilsy85 2213560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: hmm good point! You have the west elm graham glider, right? do you like it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213431 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 10:33:27 +0000 birdofafeather 2213431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer stationary because I liked being able to push my feet against something without give. We just used a big poof my mom made and we can use as seating as well, which I don't see being able to do with a gliding ottoman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213213 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 08:54:54 +0000 hilsy85 2213213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: ah see I always wanted to have my feet up while nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213164 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 08:35:02 +0000 kiddosc 2213164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a gliding ottoman that came with our glider, but it was awkward to nurse with my feet up like that so I never used it. In retrospect, I would have bought a more expensive glider that didn't have an ottoman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213130 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 08:20:38 +0000 mrsjyw 2213130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: agree! We have a gliding one that came w our glider but not sure if there's a major difference w a stationary vs gliding, just that I loved having an ottoman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213129 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 08:17:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 2213129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yeah I wouldn't pay a lot for any ottoman! I especially think a stationery one you could just get a cheap one and it would be exactly as comfortable! </p> <p>Eta: it's not the most attractive one though- it's definitely a baby glider, not something someone without kids would likely ever pick.<br /> I was lucky that the most comfortable glider for me (I don't have a great back) happened to be one of the cheapest AND it came with a gliding ottoman, and I could use BBB coupons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213083 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 07:54:05 +0000 Alivoo01 2213083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gliding one and I like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213073 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 07:48:19 +0000 hilsy85 2213073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: the stationary ottoman that comes with our glider is actually REALLY expensive, so I would try to find a gliding one that matches that is cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213070 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 07:46:18 +0000 petunia354 2213070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've enjoyed our gliding ottoman but I wouldn't say it's a necessity! It made for a smooth rock/glide though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213060 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 07:39:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2213060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My glider came with a gliding ottoman and it is really nice. The only thing I can compare it with is my friends glider and she just had a stationary nursing stool (like a low stool, not ottoman). The gliding ottoman was nicer to put your feet all the way up, but if it was a lot more money I can't say it's necessary. And if it doesn't move you could probably use the stationary ottoman in other ways in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stationary-or-gliding-ottoman#post-2213047 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 07:27:05 +0000 hilsy85 2213047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any opinions on which is better? We didn't have an ottoman with LO1 and want to purchase one this time. Not sure which option would be more comfy for nursing and sleeping. </p>
