We weren’t planning on spending money on a glider rocker quite yet, but we knew we wanted one… so after we researched them (gotta love the Baby Bargains book) and saw that the recommended ones were $400+ (not including ottoman), it was off to the baby store to actually sit in one to test it out (to see if it was really worth the money).
We also knew from past experience that not all gliders are not created equal, and I knew I’d have to sit in one before buying it to make sure I fit (well, my hips that is). And I have to say that the gliders were nice. NICE. But there was NO WAY we could afford a new one. Besides, even if we could, we asked and they apparently take 10-12 weeks to come in!
So I checked Craigslist and there were a few, so I emailed them and decided on one. We went to check it out (glider PLUS ottoman!) and it fit well and was comfortable, so now we have a glider! YAY!
