I’ve been liking my Babyletto Cali.

I never considered one just because I didn’t like the look. It always looked very country style to me.

Never again.

+1 on the importance of the footstool. This was the first thing my pediatrician recommended. Here’s the one I use: My Brest Friend Nursing Stool Adjustable for Comfort, Wood https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003OZ3BPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CMWNDD6S7QBZRV0GH5NC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The My Breast Friend nursing stool is great. Unexpected bonus: you can also use it as a laptop stand - it holds your computer at a perfect height/angle for zoom calls!

Dutailier. With rocking and reclining integrated. Large comfy oversized chair that is apolstered. It does not look like a rocking chair. It resembles a Lazy Boy type chair. We chose the fabric with an eye to eventually use it in a different room after the breast feeding years. It has been marvelous. Even as DC sized up from infancy, we could sit in it side by side to read and read, reclining all the while. Ten years later it is still awesome. Placed it by a sunny window to read each day.

Me again - and buy the rocker + the gliding ottoman. The gliding ottoman makes all the difference.

Buy the frames used and just spend money on new cushions. No need to get a brand new frame when people are selling them on craigslist/marketplace for $50.

Yes! We found one on the curb used the heck out of it and passed it along to a friend when done. It’s vintage was unknown. They aren’t cute, but the head and shoulder support will make you cry from relief. TBH my husband was annoyed I let it go, he liked it for watching tv. Definitely get an ottoman.

We love our Dutielier - got it on craigslist. Has lasted 7 years we had it and then however long they had it (4 I think).

I love my davinci love glider BUT it started squeaking after maybe three months. The company asked for a recording of it squeaking and sent a new base. A few months later the wood where it got screwed in started squeaking. The company asked for a recording and immediately shipped a new one. The squeaking may have been due to weight overload because we had some heavier family using it. So pro for comfort, it’s smaller, it was relatively cheaper, and the customer service was good. But cons because how hard is it to make a chair now squeak?

That doesn't break the bank (preferably under $350). Thanks in advance!
