What is a Glider Rocker?
A glider rocker is a chair that is a unique hybrid of a classic rocking chair and an old-fashioned porch glider. These chairs, which became popular among mothers with newborn infants in the mid-1980s, are typically constructed of wood. The seat, back, and arms of the chair are usually covered with tie-on, removable cushions. Due to their popularity with new mothers, the glider rocker has also become commonly known as the “nursery glider.
