Re: Glider/rocker recliner combination and evaluation?
It's a bit confusing when you try to find out which models have Swivel Gliders in them, the suffix is the - SG on the end and sometimes you will see that mentioned just beyond the dimensional measurements. In H&M all recliners that *CAN* have a swivel / glider base will have a 3xxx prefix and they will all be Wall Huggers. The most popular one, by far, is the Austin. In most all the Wall Hugger units you can configure as a Swivel Glider (note that you have to have the swivel in order to get the glider). Yes, its a smooth glide motion, likely to put Mom or Dad to sleep faster than the baby! I would recommend if you go this route, upgrade to a power recline unit. Wall Huggers are noisy in manual mode, and hard to close (especially for women) as they require a hard kick to overcome the spring action. Certainly a baby would wake up closing a manual one. With power, its smooth and very quiet + easy to operate.
You can go fabric or leather, though the cover longevity on leather is 4x that of fabric on average. Hope that helps!
