While a nursery recliner, rocker, or glider isn’t a necessity, it can be nice to have for feedings, snuggling, and story time. I know some people choose to forgo a specialty nursery chair all together, but it’s something I knew I wanted early on in this pregnancy. Today I’m sharing 5 nursery recliner gliders that were on my radar, and the exciting news is I made a decision and one of these will be delivered any day now (yay!), which I’ll share in another post.

Once I went down the rabbit hole of nursery chairs, I was a bit overwhelmed with the options, price points, and shipping schedules. Not to mention the challenge of actually testing out these chairs in person.

Ultimately, these are the main features I focused on:

• Glides, Swivels, AND Reclines
• GREENGUARD Gold Certified
• Durable – made with performance fabric/built to last and could potentially be used in another room later on
• Style-wise I prefer something with straight lines vs curves (not wingback) and love flange/french seams
• Would arrive before baby

While I went back and forth on whether to get a glider with a separate ottoman, I knew what I really wanted was a recliner. While this is a personal preference, I simply enjoy lounging in a recliner vs. a chair with an ottoman. I also noticed that while the price-point on gliders was less expensive, the price jumped up quite a bit once an ottoman was added. I also read tons of online reviews, watched youtube videos, and stalked reddit forums to gain perspective on nursery glider/recliner experiences after they were purchased.

If you’re looking for a cozy nursery glider that also reclines, I hope this post will help you along the way. Whatever nursery recliner you choose, be sure to double-check the shipping date and return policy. I also recommend adding it to your registry (even if set to private) as you may be able to get an extra discount.

Tip: If you’re looking for a super budget-friendly glider option, consider transforming an existing chair/recliner you have or find into glider. This post from The Grit and Polish shows you how. You can also save money by searching FB Marketplace for gently used options.
