I didn't think much about a rocker for my first born and the chair ended up being something I disliked so much. It would rock and slide backwards leaving dents in the wall. I couldn’t comfortably sleep in it on nights baby needed me close. I searched high and low for a glider (NOT swivel!) with ability to recline. The power setting was a huge plus. It’s been one week with our newborn and I couldn’t love my chair more. So comfortable and my happy spot in the nursery. Worth every penny and only wish I would have had it for our first.
