Does it rock? The description says it glides. But the "technical details", on the line where it says "additional product features" it says "rocking".

Hi there! I absolutely adore this glider. No, it doesn't actually rock like the conventional rocker. It glides in concert with the ottoman. It is most wonderful and mom and my new grandson love it and so do I!!! Even dad enjoys gliding with his new son. I highly recommend it!!

If you look at the picture you can see the bottom does not move. I believe it is called a glider because the mechanism between the bottom of the seat and the base moves back and forth. It is similar to a rocking motion, but the bottom of the chair does not rock. It has the same soothing effect, but the chair doesn't move on the floor and possibly move position like a rocker can. The ottoman works the same way.

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.

No it is pretty solid.. you just have to wipe off the bars and apply a small thin amount of lubricant on the bars to keep it from making a scratching noise.. It does not rock.. I have seen where some people complain the wheels jump of the roller bars.. but that has not happened to me.. My machine is on hardwood.. not sure about the stability issue if it was on carpet...

It only rocks when pushed... But it does have the vibration feature which is soothing for our babies.I place the Rock n" Play by me, and rock with my hand, or it's easily rocked with my foot.

it depends on what you are leveling and how high you raise the item. for example if you use the levelers on a bed and raise to the maximum height there could be a slight rocking effect if you are actively using the bed. I say that because that is how I used the levelers. I hope that helps you.

I think it bounces pretty well, but it's going to depend on the weight and aggression of the child. My two granddaughter's 3 yrs and 20 months love it. The older one only weighs a couple pounds more than the baby, but she's much more aggressive and can really get Blaze "rockin'"! The little one does more rock than bounce, but she loves it too.....and so far (since Christmas) his sounds work great....it's not overly loud....but loud enough unless you're in a room with a bunch of screaming kids! They ride it a LOT! I will say that the baby was a little apprehensive at first because it's taller than the old "little" one they have, but once she got used to it and got her balance, she loves it....She does need help getting on yet because she's just too short. I would definitely buy it again!! Regarding the stiffness of the springs: They are somewhat stiff so up and down bouncing is somewhat minimal, but if they were much looser, I think you'd get a lot of side to side rocking and likely unseat the little riders. The back and forth rocking is great!

It definitely rocks when it's partially reclined (foot rest up, back slightly reclined). I've never tried rocking when it's fully reclined. It swivels in every position.

Both, it does rock left to right, and it also vibrates like a massager. It goes up to 20 speeds. It has been a God send for my husband who has gained musle which he had lost due to dyalisis. It truly is a great machine. Good luck

Yes. I really like the gliding motion compared to our other recliner, which is a standard rocker. We love this and use it in our twins' nursery to rock them to sleep.

Yes. This chair has a rocking motion, not gliding. So it swivels, rocks, and reclines.

The one I have does not have vibration. It is a pretty basic rocker, unless they have released a new model? I would not expect vibration.

No, but it doesn't rock enough that you would want to. Only rocks if you actively rocking it.

If by "rock" you mean awesome, yes it does in fact rock. It also rocks back and forth.

It's really a 3-in-1 product now...no rocking, no upright playard. I just called Tomy (the parent company of The First Years) and clarified two things. First, ours (manufactured 2/2014) does not rock. The government decided that it might tip over if someone pulled on it too hard. (It's called gravity...) Second, it no longer has the seated-upright playard option, which is what I believe the restraints were for. Ours has bows on the basket but not on the changing table - I'm willing to bet the govt told them to take those off, too. The rep was helpful and apologetic and - since preventing the bassinet from rocking is not yet mandated, and our box explicitly said the bassinet rocked - was able to send out an "old" pair of legs for us so that it will rock. She was not able to offer any suggestions for the playard since it sounds like that's a change to the entire carrier piece. Hope this helps someone else. We thought we were going crazy at first until we realized that the plastic legs look different than what's in the manufacturer's photos.

Vertical rocking motion. I find I have to keep my knees bent when I use it or it shakes my neck/head too much.

Not at all! It does rock slightly but would not be comfortable (does not rock all the way back) I must add this seat is so comfortable!!!!

My Grand daughter loves her Rocking rider, she is 16 months old now, got it for 1st B-Day. It is still set up in the rocking position, it does not move around on hard wood. We have not put it on carpet. If it did slide on carpet I would put a piece of sticky Velcro to hold it in place.

It only rocks and swivels but does NOT glide. I am 5' 4" and I can lay my head comfortably on it. Cleaning is spot cleaning... If you dropped a marker on it (without the cap on), then it's an ouch because it's made out of micro suede-type fabric.
