Rocking chair, glider chair or nursing chair: which suits your nursery?
Shop all nursery chairs →
Choose a rocking chair for smooth rhythmic motion that soothes during feeds and settling without taking up too much floor space. Choose a glider chair with ottoman if you breastfeed for extended sessions. The track runs quietly, the ottoman gives full leg support so your lower body does not fatigue across a 40-minute feed, and everything you need stays within one-handed reach so you never put your baby down mid-feed. Choose a standalone nursing chair for a compact nursery where floor space is tight. Low seat height makes managing a baby easier, and wide armrests reduce the shoulder and neck strain that builds over weeks of daily feeds. Choose a recliner nursing chair if night feeds on limited sleep are your biggest challenge. Adjustable recline shifts from upright feeding to a resting position without putting your baby down.
All nursery chairs in our collection come from Love N Care in grey finishes. Designs start from $550.99 (Clio Rocking Recliner). The Vesta and Lush Glider are $731.45 and $731.49 respectively. Check each product page for the current price. In stock now, dispatched from Sydney. Order before your baby arrives and have the chair set up and ready from the first night home.
Comfort, Support and Posture for Every Feed
What to Look for When You Buy a Nursing Chair
A nursing chair gets used at 2am, 5am and every hour in between. Armrests at elbow height take your arm weight off your shoulders from the first feed. The wrong height causes pain that builds over weeks. A seat too low makes standing while holding a baby harder, which matters most in the newborn stage. For caesarean recovery, firm armrests you can push up from reduce core strain. Confirm both on each product page before ordering.
Buying Tip
Order before your baby arrives. Most chairs take 30 to 60 minutes to assemble. Confirm chair dimensions fit your nursery floor space with the door open and clear access to the cot before ordering.

Rocking Chairs
Nursery Rocking Chairs
A nursery rocking chair delivers smooth rhythmic motion that soothes babies during feeds and settling. Padded armrests and ergonomic back support handle long sessions without the shoulder fatigue that flat-backed chairs cause. The Love N Care Vesta Rocking Chair ($731.45) suits modern and Scandi nurseries in neutral grey. It includes a matching storage ottoman and a bolster cushion. This gives the Vesta ottoman-level leg support without the glider track. The Love N Care Icarus Rocking Chair in Grey ($664.95) is also available as a more compact option. Confirm dimensions on each product page.
Glider Chairs with Ottoman
Glider Feeding Chairs
A glider chair moves on a fixed track for quiet, controlled motion with no arc swing into the wall behind it. The Love N Care Lush Glider Chair and Ottoman in Cloud ($731.49) includes a 360-degree swivel function, a matching storage ottoman that provides full leg support during extended breastfeeding sessions, and a pillow for additional lumbar comfort. The ottoman stores feeding accessories within one-handed reach so you never put the baby down mid-feed. Check each product page for ottoman dimensions and storage capacity.
Nursing Chairs
Compact Nursing and Feeding Chairs
A standalone nursing chair or feeding chair suits compact nurseries and apartments where a glider and ottoman combination takes too much floor space. Low seat height makes it easier to sit and stand while holding a baby. A lower seat reduces the core effort of standing, which matters for parents recovering from a caesarean. Wide armrests distribute the weight of your arms and baby across the full forearm rather than the shoulder joint. Soft wipe-clean upholstery in grey keeps the chair hygienic through the daily contact of the feeding stage. Confirm seat height and armrest dimensions on each product page.
Recliner Nursing Chairs
Recliner Feeding Chairs
A recliner nursing chair solves the night feed problem no other chair type addresses: your baby needs feeding and settling, but you need rest in the same session. The Love N Care Clio Rocking Recliner in Dusk ($550.99, was $699.99, H94 x D78 x W86cm, max 105kg) combines a smooth metal rocking base with a virtually silent reclining mechanism and a pop-up leg rest. Extra thick padding on the arms and back absorbs the physical load of night feeds across weeks and months. Adjustable recline shifts from upright feeding to a fully supported resting position without waking a just-settled baby. Extra thick arm and back padding handles the cumulative physical demand of night feeds across weeks and months. Check stock on the product page and order now. The recliner is the chair most parents wish they had bought earlier.
Buying Checklist
Nursery Chair Buying Guide: What Actually Matters
- Armrest height: Armrests at elbow height take the weight of your arms off your shoulders during every feed. Armrests that are too low cause neck and shoulder tension within weeks. Check armrest height on each product page before ordering.
- Seat height and depth: Too low makes standing while holding a baby harder. Too deep pushes your lower back away from the lumbar support. Confirm seat height and depth on each product page.
- Motion type: A rocking chair needs rear clearance for the arc swing. A glider moves on a fixed track and needs none. Choose by space available, not motion preference alone.
- Ottoman and fabric: A glider ottoman gives full leg support during long feeds. Confirm whether it is included on each product page. Also confirm the upholstery is wipe-clean. Nursery chairs face daily contact with milk and burp cloths.
- Dimensions and timing: Measure your nursery floor space before ordering. Order before the baby arrives. Once armrest height, seat height and motion type are confirmed, add to cart and have it delivered before the due date.
