We are expecting a new baby in a few months and wanted to move our existing glider into the baby room and get this chair for my toddler's room (21 months).  She loves sitting next to me for bedtime stories and the chair is comfy and looks great!  So much easier than having her in my pregnant lap! It definitely does not rock like a glider but has a short rock. At first we were worried that since there is no lock on this chair, our toddler would rock this over her toes, but it doesn't really rock easily (in a good way) so it has been safe for our toddler's room.
In the future, this will definitely be big enough for me plus two toddlers sitting all side by side.  Not quite big enough for two adults and a toddler side by side.
