I'm currently shopping for a new rocker or glider for baby boy #2. We currently own a Little Castle glider, which we still use with our toddler. The glider now squeaks and is off kilter, so I don't want to buy the exact one again.
Please tell me about the glider/rocker that you love and why. Attach a link if you can. Thanks!!!

We have the graham glider from west elm. I like it style wise but it was expensive. And I really wish it reclined.
ETA: its very comfortable!

I don't have a picture, and it's no thing of beauty, but I love, love, love our Dutalier glider. Reclines, pockets that are handy for motn feedings, and good support.

We have a but ugly wooden glider that is the most comfortable thing in the world. I've clocked thousands of hours in that chair and it's ugliness is worth it.
I couldn't find a good looking chair that was as comfortable.

Great because as he grows he can sit with me comfortably on the chair and we can read together

We have this glider and I love it: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=23701056&cp=2255957.2273443.68293816.2256245.50629046.50628876&parentPage=family
Due to renovations our nursery wasn't ready til our daughter was about 8 months old so we put it in the living room. We never ended up moving it to her room because we love to sit in it so much and it really just looks like a normal piece of furniture! If I moved it up there now it'd get a lot less use. Maybe will have to get another one though when we have baby 2

We have the Best Tryp - actually, we have two, one in our two year old's room and another in the nursery for the new baby. I love them - lots of fabric choices, very comfortable, they rock and recline and turn. We spent the first month of our son's life taking turns sleeping in it and never got uncomfortable. We have one in dark grey with circles and one in "ash".

@Autumnmama79: good luck!!! The only reason I got it was because my mom gifted it to us. Dh never would have let me spend that much!!!

We have a Best too.. It looks like this one...

LOVE it. Looks new still after using it for a year (tho I used it less and less as she got older). DH loves it b/c it's big enough for him!

Just scored the graham from west elm for only $549 Canadian! What a fluke I just happened to pop into the store. Seems like a really good deal considering it's normally $1200+

We have this from PBK...the Charleston Convertible Rocker. Really comfy and you can switch out the rockers for stationary feet when you're done using it in the nursery!

We have the wing backed rocker from Pottery Barn Kids. I hated to spend so much money but it was the only thing we could find that was both attractive, and had a tall enough back for my 6'6" husband to be comfortable in it. The rockers do convert to stationary feet so we'll get years of use out of it.

We have a nice glider (Dutailier) but I wish we had something that reclined a bit.

I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a rocker since we are planning to move but I really wanted something comfortable that I could rest my head on (and fall asleep in). I also did not want something ugly. I ended up getting the Ikea Poang rocker and i shockingly LOVE it.
I fall asleep in it all the time since the back is high enough to support my head and its nice and wide so i can get cozy with the baby as I nurse.
At first I thought I was going to hate it but it really is cozy and functional and honestly not that bad looking. I secretly like the way it looks now. Simple and clean lines.

I have the Little Castle Kacy Collection Preston chair and ottoman in a different color: http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=kacy%20preston&keywords=kacy%20preston&origkw=kacy+preston&sr=1
(I have 'cargo pumice', which looks tan/brown online but is grey in person)
It is great, but I wish it reclined....

@Ginabean3: is PB worth it??? I have been eyeing those chairs, especially since in-laws offered to buy us a chair!

@anniefannie: We use this too, but the only downside is that the wooden arms aren't covered so i have to make sure there is a pillow supporting the kids when nursing. The nursery in our old house was really small so it was one of the few chairs that was not only comfortable but simple.

@Alba4: I think so! We got ours on clearance because it was a discontinued fabric! I like how we can eventually transition it into the rest of the house when we no longer need it as a nursery chair! I nurse my 7 month old in it every night and it's great! We didn't get the ottoman, I just use a little plastic ikea stool and it works great.

@Freckles: yeah that's a problem but like you said it's easily solved with a pillow.

@Ginabean3: we have the Charleston as well and love it. Converting it to a regular chair in the future was a major selling point.

We have this one and love it.
I was worried that it's white, but we've never had a stain in 3 years that didn't come right off!

we have the same as @Truth Bombs: and as she mentioned we plan to convert it to stationary feet when we no longer need a rocker and use it in our master or office. We got a light color so I scotch guarded the crap out of it and 2.5 years in it is in great shape!
It is SOOOOO comfortable and PBK does have great customer service and delivery service!

We have the Tryp from Best Chairs and I adore it. I want one in every room of the house, it's so comfortable and more than pretty enough to blend in with regular furniture. As a short person I find it perfect. We got it in Gravel (without the contrasting white piping).
