Rockers: The main component of a rocking chair is its rocker. This curved base is what is responsible for the swaying motion of the chairs. The rockers have to be designed and built with great care so that a smooth rocking motion is achieved, but at the same time there is no danger of the chair tipping over. Rockers can be a little dangerous as there is scope for peoples’ feet or toes getting crushed underneath. However, many current designs incorporate the use of springs which helps to negate this danger. Sincethis isthe most essential feature in a rocking chair, the chair is often referred to as a rocker as well.

Before you invest in a good rocking chair or glider, go for a test drive. In the store, sit in the rocker for a while and gently rock like you would rock your baby. Is the seat roomy? Do the armrests come up high enough to make breastfeeding or bottle feeding easy and comfortable? Is the rocking chair solid and tight? The worst thing in the world is to have a loose rocking chair that squeaks as you rock or even worse when you get up to put the baby in the bed!

The most popular rocking chair is the glider rocker. The glider rocker is made of solid hardwood or metal, but is padded and upholstered like a sofa. The unique feature of the glider rocker is the stationary gliding mechanism that provides a smooth horizontal, front to back, gliding movement. The glider rocker is comfortable, often with a high back for added support. Many glider rockers have a locking mechanism to lock the chair in place when you don’t want to glide.
