Nursery rocking chair sizes for the room
A nursery rocking chair should fit beside the crib with room for its motion. Widths here run 25.2 to 49.2 inches, depths 24.8 to 35.4 inches and heights 28.2 to 40.9 inches, so compare each chair's size with the space you have.
Leave clearance behind a rocker or recliner so it never meets the wall, and keep a clear path from the chair to the crib and the door.
Nursery glider rocking chair or classic rocker
A nursery glider rocking chair moves forward and back on a fixed track, while a classic rocker tips on curved runners. Most chairs here rock, some glide, and some swivel so you can turn toward the crib without standing.
A glider keeps its base in one spot, which suits a rug or a tight corner. A curved rocker has a looser, deeper sway that some parents find more soothing.
Nursery rocking chair recliner features
A nursery rocking chair recliner lets a parent lean back and raise their feet during long night feedings. Some models here recline, with power recline on select models and manual recline on others, and some add USB charging for a phone.
Some chairs here come with an ottoman instead, which gives tired legs a rest without a recline mechanism.
Comfortable rocking chair for nursery fabrics
A comfortable rocking chair for nursery use pairs a supportive back with an upholstery that is easy to live with. Sherpa and boucle feel soft and warm, chenille and velvet feel plush, linen breathes well, and vegan leather wipes clean after spills.
Most models list solid wood parts, and some add a metal frame or plywood panels. Gray, brown, green and white are the most common colors, with beige, black, blue and pink also available.
Rocking chair nursery safety and care
A rocking chair in a nursery is safest when little hands and pets stay clear of the runners, glide track and recline mechanism. Let the chair come to a stop before a toddler climbs on, and keep cords away from moving parts. Vacuum fabric upholstery regularly and follow the care label on your model for spills.
