daughter-in-law #2 put a version of this glider/ottoman combo on her wish list and my first thought was that's a lot of money for a glider--boy was I wrong--so comfortable, smooth glide, perfect for feeding/rocking baby--everyone in the family thinks it's great --we all pitched in for one for daughter-in-law #3 and she says (pre-baby) that it's already her favorite place to sit and read--both got the glider only version and that seems to be fine

I LOVE this item, but you have to get the leg extensions from Arm's Reach if you have a high bed. Ours is very tall, and the first few days home from the hospital we did not have the leg extensions. I forgot to order them in my baby brain state.
Without the extensions, it did not work well at all. I had a C section, so I could not move well. I could not lift our baby out of the cosleeper because it was too low and I didn't have the stomach muscles to lift my upper body back up once I leaned over. So, to get the baby, I had to get out of bed & pick him up, and once he was asleep, I had to get back up to put him down, usually waking him in the process.
Five days after we got home, we got the extensions in the mail, and that made all the difference. My husband said he didn't see how it would help, but he quickly noticed the difference. Now I can comfort my son without getting up, & he quickly goes back to sleep.
