A lumbar pillow and smooth power recliner only add to its comfort. You can also use the charging port to charge your phone without getting up and disturbing baby.
Carter’s by DaVinci | Arlo Recliner and Swivel Glider
Searching for a chair to last through raising multiple children? You can’t go wrong with the Arlo Recliner and Swivel Glider. Moms say it’s still going strong years after purchase.

Its 360-degree swivel makes finding the perfect place in your nursery a breeze.
Carter’s by DaVinci | Adrian Swivel Glider with Storage Ottoman
Soothe baby through those sleep regressions with gentle rocking movements in the Adrian Swivel Glider with Storage Ottoman. Its soft yet durable performance linen is stain-resistant and water-repellent, keeping your chair looking new well into toddlerhood. The standout feature of this glider is its ottoman, which opens to reveal additional nursery storage, ideal for homes with tiny closets.
Child Craft | Cozy Glider Rocker with Ottoman
The Cozy Glider Rocker with Ottoman is the original, no-frills glider. The padded seat, back, and arms keep you snug while you wait for baby to doze off, and its solid rubber wood framing provides a serene gliding motion without those dreaded metal creaks that always seem to make little ones stir. If your nursery is short on space, this is a great compact option.
Chita Living | Tracee Power Swivel Nursery Glider Recliner
Reimagining the typical bulky (yet comfortable!) recliner into something chic you’d happily include in any room, the Tracee Power Swivel Nursery Glider Recliner is sold in a sleek butternut-colored genuine leather. A built-in lumbar cushion, a fully padded footrest, and whisper-quiet power recline feature offer the high levels of coziness.
Delta Children | Mercer Electronic Power Recliner and Swivel Glider
Scoring high in the categories that matter most to moms, the Mercer Electronic Power Recliner and Swivel Glider offers a smooth, quiet experience while you sway baby to sleep. Once those eyelids close, power recline back with just one finger and keep your little one dreaming. Milk spills don’t stand a chance against the stain-resistant performance fabric, and no-sag springs help the chair keep its shape and comfort long term.
Évolur | Raleigh Glider with Massager
What if you could unwind with a back massage at the end of each day? With the Raleigh Glider with Massager, you can! Eight different modes work to release tension and sore muscles as you feed baby. The chair also manually reclines in multiple positions with a padded footrest, so if you need to snooze while your little one does, you can snag that cat nap.
Mamazing | Rocking Nursery Chair for Breastfeeding
This glider from Mamazing does it all. You can rock your baby, swivel to grab nearby things, and power recline at the touch of a button. Designed to ease the shoulder and neck discomfort that often accompanies breastfeeding, the armrests rise, lower, and rotate, providing optimal support while feeding baby. Charging ports and a phone holder help keep you connected while nap trapped.
Namesake | Crawford Pillowback Comfort Swivel Glider
For moms who prefer timeless over trendy, the Crawford Pillowback Comfort Swivel Glider is a chair that looks just as at home in a living room as in a nursery.

Nurture& | The Glider Plus
Your lower back will love The Glider Plus from Nurture&. In addition to its power recline, which is oh-so-nice for C-section mommas, this chair features power lumbar support to ease the pressure from holding your bundle all day. Baby spit up? That’s no problem with The Glider Plus’s soft, stain-resistant fabric that’s available in a performance boucle and textured weave.
Oxford Baby & Kids | Uptown Swivel Rocker and Recliner
If you love the style of more expensive rockers but can’t quite stomach the cost, check out the Uptown Swivel Rocker and Recliner. It has that classic pillow design for a fraction of the cost. You can quietly rock, recline, or swivel in this glider that moms say is silent (no squeaky gears here), super comfy, and simple to assemble.
