When you purchase a glider rocker, you are getting two chairs in one. A glider chair and a rocking chair are the two types of chairs. These two chairs were merged in the eighties and have become hugely popular since. Pregnant and nursing mothers adored them and this is how they got the moniker of nursery glider/rocker.

One major difference between a glider rocker and standard rocker is the way it moves. There are ball bearings in a glider rocker that help with the motion of the glide. Unlike standard rockers, these do not come up off the floor so the chance of accidents is minimized.

Those who have traditional rockers know that they can be noisy at times. This is not an issue with a glider rocker. Because of the ball bearings, the rocker is practically noise free. This means that the little ones are not going to be wakened by accidental noise made from the glider rocker.

There are more ways to stay safe in this type of rocker as well. The action is front to back instead of upwards and downwards, which means that there is less chance of tipping. It is not going to fall side to side either.

The gliding action has a lock on it that makes it even safer from accidents when mom is not in the room. When the parts are not mobile, little ones can not get their fingers caught in them. Safety comes first when it comes to children and babies.

If you are looking for a new rocker to replace the standard type, then consider the glider rocker. This is a merging of two popular chair types. The action on them is smooth and they are much safer than standard rocking chairs.
