Find the Changing Table Your Looking For...

The all important glider. The importance cannot be overstated! Just think...

It's 3:45am and all is quiet. Then, suddenly, in the still of the night, a tiny light flashes on the baby monitor. No sound, just a tiny red LED lights up for a split second. Then another light. Then another. Then comes the sound... Baby is awake, and he is "asking" you to come give him a little snack.

"Baby is awake, and he is asking you to come give him a little snack."

Does this sound familiar? If you're an experienced parent, it sure should. If you're an expectant parent - it will! Middle of the night feedings are common. The way to get through it with the least discomfort? A nice gliding chair - a glider.

A glider will serve you well - much better than a standard stationary chair. It is really designed specifically for the nursery. There are a few Do's and Don't's about buying a glider...

When Glider Shopping

    Do...
  • Buy online - There are gliders available at many stores, but the best deals are far and away found online. Expect to pay as much as 50% more by shopping at a regular store.
  • Look for shipping costs - Another reason to buy online. Most stores will charge from $35.00 to $75.00 to ship. Online purchase shouldn't cost more than a few bucks - or even be free!
  • Look for Wood and Fabric Options - Most gliders can be customized at no extra cost.
  • Check the specs for dimensions - Occasionally you'll find a glider that is smaller than the rest.
    But Don't...
  • Forget about an ottoman! Most gliders are sold without an ottoman. You'll definitely want one, so plan on tacking on an extra $150-$200 to your order for the ottoman.
  • Forget to match the wood - The wood framing should match your bedroom set. You don't want a maple dresser and a cognac glider!
  • Pay too much! It is easy to spend over $1,000.00 for a glider from a specialty furniture store. Don't do it! The manufacturers are mostly the same - you're just paying more!

Our Favorite Glider

The glider that we have in George's room is the Dutailier Comfort Plus and we are thrilled with it. These folks really know how to put together a glider that works well for a nursery environment. The chair is so smooth you won't even believe it. Also - it is big enough! One of the users in our household (he'll remain nameless) is 6'3" and weighs in at 265lbs. This glider is built to accomodate him. The other user is 5'3" and 140lbs - the glider works great for her too. This is the gold standard glider.

Another thing that we really like about the Dutailier is the huge selection of color and wood choices.

Choices include:

  • Maple
  • Cognac
  • Natural
  • White
  • Black
  • Metal
  • Endless Fabric Choices

The Dutailier is available in many different lines. To browse the entire selection, just search the entire selection of Gliders.
