For some reason I thought that discount didn't apply but awesome if it actually did!! Let me know how it when you receive it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2484709 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:10:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2484709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: Glider twinsies!! Don't you just love it? I ordered the Milo few days ago and used the 10% first time email discount. This weekend DH and I are going back together to visit the Monte Designs retailer that has a very similar chair on the showroom floor so he can see why the chair is the bomb.com lol! I visited the store solo before placing my LON order. The similar chair was a couple hundred less than the Milo and the store was offering 10% off and free shipping, but DH was stuck on the swivel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2484665 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 16:19:56 +0000 agold 2484665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: So here's a quick update on LON rockers - I went in last week and saw the Milo and loved it but was bummed about no discounts ever being offered. I even called the LON headquarters to ask and beg. So the sales associate who helped me just now called me and told me that he "discovered" or whatever a 15% discount that I can use on the rocker. He said he only has 4 coupons available to the whole store (i don't know if i believe that part). But anyways, I think I'm going to get the glider this weekend! So my tip for you is to tell a sales associate you really want the glider but are looking for a discount and leave your name and number. Its worth a try! Good luck and let me know what you end up getting! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2480636 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 19:40:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2480636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Best Tryp, and I love it so much we bought a second one for the new baby's room. We literally took turns sleeping in it for the first month of B's life and never had problems sleeping, sore backs, etc, it's so comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2480548 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 18:19:36 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2480548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I remember someone loving a Walmart crib on a blog I read! We ended up finally getting a classic cheap baby's r us glider after baby was about 3 months... By that point we basically started cosleeping and the few times I did nurse him in glider I fell asleep and woke up all freaked out and confused an hour later! But it still was pretty comfortable, and my husband ended up using a ton to rock him when I first went back to work. It would have come in so handy during those first few weeks of night time feelings when I needed all the lights on to see what I was doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2480532 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 18:02:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2480532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: yeah, it sure wasn't something I was expecting to purchase. I'm just as in love with the crib- it's from Walmart! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2480522 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 17:50:17 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2480522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Awesome! I wish i got a nice glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2480516 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 17:42:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2480516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all of your input. Last night when I went over the different options DH of course asked, "what did the baby blog say?" I visited a local children stores that is a Monte retailer and I was able to test out a few chairs. The recliner was so not me nor was the rocker! I liked the Como glider with it's uber comfy pillow back best. But, DH is really set on having a swivel base. Back to LON for the Como look-alike called the Milo- it glides &amp; swivels. That's our nursery chair! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2479121 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:59:17 +0000 SweetiePie 2479121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our swivel gilder is by Bassett and we got it at Buy Buy Baby (with a 20% off coupon!). LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Very comfy and it is easy to clean. We got a dark charcoal gray color and it shows absolutely no wear or tear (or poop, pee, spit up, formula).<br /> I just went to their site to show you what we got, but I saw that they have leather RECLINING swivel gliders. Might be right up your alley :-)<br /> <a href="https://www.bassettfurniture.com/rocker-recliner.asp" rel="nofollow">https://www.bassettfurniture.com/rocker-recliner.asp</a></p> <p>If you don't get a reclining one, I definitely recommend getting a gliding ottoman to go with your swivel glider. Those late night feedings it's so nice to put your feet up and shut your eyes. It's uncomfortable (for me) to sit a long time with my feet down, holding a baby, leaning back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2479105 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:47:52 +0000 ShootingStar 2479105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a custom recliner from Best Chairs. It's amazingly comfortable. I didn't want a traditional wood glider, or one that needed a separate ottoman. I love that with the recliner I can put out the footrest when I need it, but otherwise it's tucked away. Oh, and the recliner part is controlled by a remote, so it doesn't have jerky movement a recliner with a pull bar does. And we got the fabric protection plan on it, but we've never had anything get on it that didn't come up with a wet wash cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2479031 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 18:27:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2479031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target has this swivel glider that may be a good option: <a href="http://www.target.com/p/little-castle-journey-swivel-glider/-/A-15537214#prodSlot=_2_19" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/little-castle-journey-swivel-glider/-/A-15537214#prodSlot=_2_19</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2479024 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 18:21:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2479024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: those are some beautiful chairs! At this point I showed DH gliders under $1k, I don't think I'd be able to sell him on more.

And if you are 5'2", I can't imagine you'd have a problem with the height of the seat back. Problem with the Luca is that there are essentially no discounts that will ever be applied to it. So you just pay what it is. ETA - the Milo is pretty darn amazing and it swivels. But its too pricey for comfort.</p> <p>ETA: you could probably sign up to get emails and use the 10% discount you get from that on the Toby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478920 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:57:06 +0000 Charm54 2478920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Monte Grano with a swivel base and it is SO AMAZING. It reclines and is so comfy I could sleep in it all night. I like that it is a slim design that can be used in my living room when I'm done having kids. It's 1000x better than the rocking chair we used with dd1 and worth the splurge (we do not have nice furniture otherwise so it was a big purchase for us) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478918 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:55:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2478918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: you're so lucky you have a LON near you. There aren't any stores in FL. Does the Luca swivel or just glide?</p> <p>I just checked out Lucie's List and the Luca is highly recommended, which is great since the midnight blue color will for DH. We aren't terribly tall- me 5'2" and him 6'0". I'm sure either the Toby or Luca would be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478914 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:52:10 +0000 agold 2478914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I've been agonizing over gliders for a while. (I specifically want a glider - not a rocker.) I think I'm fairly settled on the Land of Nod Luca glider. I've sat in it a few times, included yesterday for like 25 minutes and love it. I don't think I saw the Toby glider in the store but looking at it online, it looks similar to the Milo. The one difference I saw is the slight height of the glider. I was looking at some from buy buy baby, but they were short (36" or sometimes less) and my head and husband's head weren't supported. So the Luca is 38" tall and seems to support my head find. Husband's head is supported okay, but he may just have to deal. So I see the Toby is 37" and that just might be something you should look into. But over all, I like the LON gliders and they come with an 18 year warranty of some sort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478913 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:51:30 +0000 PawPrints 2478913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours at Buy Buy Baby - or, we ordered it there anyway, over the phone since it was a gift from MIL. We saved a lot of money on delivery by borrowing our friend's SUV to get it, which was pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478907 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:47:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2478907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Best chair too; LOVE it. It was the only one DH has an eye for b/c it's big and plushy enough for him. Honestly we never really needed to clean it (DD is 15 mo now) besides occasionally wiping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478904 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:47:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2478904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: the Valencia Angora was the fabric choice I was eyeing because it had the most positive attributes listed, but DH is still cringing at the light colors. The fabric swatch samples arrive on Thursday. Maybe I'll spill some stuff on each one and see how clean up goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478899 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:43:32 +0000 raspberries 2478899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: We got it in Valencia Angora - that thing's been spit up on, puked on, peed on, you name it, hahaha. You just absorb the spilled liquid with a cloth, then use Resolve or a similar water-based cleaning product and it's good to go.</p> <p>I'm assuming if you bought one of the twill ones instead of the performance fabric, it'd be harder to clean... but I love love love what we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swivel-glider-lon-toby-or-something-else#post-2478892 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:38:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2478892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I just perused their site and they have leather recliners/ swivel/ gliders.
