I am looking to buy a rocking chair for nursing newborn/relaxing, would this recliner rock just as a rocker?

Yes. That was the reason I bought it. But I don't find it super comfortable for sleeping in.
830739
Yes , in fact that's why I got it. It does the job. But im also short. If ur tall I don't know how comfortable you will be. I'm happy with it.

I bought this chair for that purpose exactly and I use it nightly... Fall asleep on it and nurse on it...It is comfortable and great value for money. But... When you close the recliner leg part to get off, it makes a noise when it locks. In the middle of the night it's annoying... It rocks and it is comfortable to nurse on. The material is comfortable. Congrats!!

Yes it would. However I am short and at times it doesn't rock as easy as I think it would for a taller person.

No. When the baby cries or fusses, they rock themselves. :)Also when we are so tired and running in survival mode from weeks of no sleep, it's nice to lay on arm chair, plop feet in ottoman, and use hand or feet to gently rock baby in his rock and play. We loved it!!! (We don't use that much anymore because we have very tall baby and he has out grown it)

It is a glider, but it still "rocks" back and forth very smoothly. Glider just means the type of mechanism that is used.I am able to sooth my newborn just like I would in a regular rocking chair.

The chair is very comfortable once you get in. You are almost laying down, and it feels almost as hummock. I am not sure what specific characteristics you mean by "comfortable for reading", but rocking does not feel exactly the same as any rocker, because you are not sitting up. It is not suitable for someone with movement limitations: my 88 years old father, who is slightly overweight, had trouble getting out of the chair. Other than that, I still love the chair enough to bring it inside in winter to use it for relaxation practices.

No, it does not rock, nor will it recline or massage after a month of normal use! This chair is very expensive junk! Amazon will not accept any returns on this "chair" after 30 days. My chair began to fall apart in the second month. The wiring came loose and was repaired by me several times. Then the foam stuffing and the three "massage balls" in the recline function fell out of the chair. The recliner is now stuck in the raised position, does not massage. and I have had to place a footstool under the bottom in order to sit in the chair. We will be throwing this junk into our next yard sale and I will buy a real recliner that will last more than thirty days. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

No, it does not rock and it only stays in recline if it is totally laid flat and you don't move.

Yes! The reclining positions are nice, We had it a bit reclined when first using the highchair when our daughter was younger. Haven't used the seat adjustments yet so I can't speak to those, but I know it's an option. Overall a great chair so far!

It would sit there fine, but if you want it to rock that would probably not work. I have mine on my slate patio outside, and even when it hits an uneven spot I kind of feel it, and it doesn't want to rock very well. For me, that's the nice thing about this chair is that it's relaxing to rock in it. But even without rocking, it's very comfy.

I don't see anyway to disable the rocker part of the chair, but it does not rock when fully reclined.

I don't think you should have a problem. I also have wide hips and have not lost my baby weight yet and I still have about an inch or two of room when I sit down in this rocker. I love this chair and have been using it for 8 months now.

Yes, it also rocks. The back feet fold up. You should be careful with this rocker because there is a metal arch on top that is not adjustable. We ran into a problem when my baby started pushing herself up to the top of the rocker. Her head hit the top bar. I had to modify the backrest for awhile until she stopped pushing herself up.

I think the deluxe rocker has a self rocking feature but you might want to check on that. If I would've seen that a self rocking option was available I would've went with that one!

Is very comfortable. I placed a thin cushion in the seat but have nothing on the back except frog decals. I think the shape of the chair prevents you from hitting pressure points on your back while rocking.

No gliding or rocking.... it's really a economy type product at this price.... it has a larger scale so guys up to about 6'3" can recline (both sides) with head support.... and it reclines very far, you can almost lay down in it.... I frequently fall asleep in it at night watching TV and it's so comfortable I sleep through to morning....

Hi John, I've had this chair for about a year. Its a great office chair. I'm a taller guy and the high-back is great for me. However, I don't think this would fit the needs of a rocker. Its not built like a traditional rocker and is designed to be more of an office chair with a "recline" option.

It does NOT recline to full flat. Pulling the front bar out helps it to recline more tho. I put my newborn in it but it is very roomy as he is now 4 and still sits in it as a rocking chair. Hope this helps you!
