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.

@scg00387: I wouldn't buy a 2nd glider. How far apart will you LO's be?

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.

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.

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).

@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.

I moved the glider into LO 2's room and I bought a new Ikea chair for LO 1's room.

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!
