If you are furnishing a nursery, then one item you should certain consider purchasing is a nursery rocking chair
. A rocking chair is the prefect place to rock and nurse your baby, and it is also a relaxing place for parents to spend time in while caring for an infant or toddler.
There are many different types of nursery rocking chairs you can choose from for your nursery. Two of the most common are the traditional wooden rocking chair and glider rockers. When deciding between these two types of chairs there are certain factors you should take into consideration.
For example, do you prefer the traditional look of a wooden rocking chair to a glider rocker? Does the padding on a glider rocker mean you will find it a more comfortable place to be?
Regardless of which model you choose you should be sure the chair does not squeak, since this can keep your infant from falling asleep easily. You should also make sure it is large enough for both you and the baby to fit into comfortably. You should make sure you are able to get out of it easily with your baby in your arms. Finally, it should feel "cozy" and complement your nursery style and colors.
Many of these factors suggest that you may want to try out a chair before you buy it. However, often the best prices for rocking chairs can be found online. You may find the best way to select a chair is to visit stores and try different models and than purchase the same model online. However, the chair shipped to you may squeak or have other issues upon deliver, to be certain that wherever you purchase your nursery rocking chair from has a flexible return policy.
