from Basingstoke, Hants. on 6/24/2008
Having read reviews about getting what you pay for I was very impressed with the quality of the whole chair. We have it in our small box room with a cot and wardrobe and although you have to have it away from the wall when its in use there is still plenty of space. The cushioning also offers exceptional confort. I can't see what an additional ?200-?300 buys you, as this was a fantastic buy!
from London on 6/23/2008
Wasn't sure if I needed this chair but my Mum pursuaded me to order it now (am 30 weeks pregnant) and I'm so glad I did! It's v comfy (have had backache recently and chair is relaxing and better for posture that lying on sofa) and I can imagine will make breastfeeding so much easier/more enjoyable. It's pretty straightforward to put together (although we got stuck assembling one of the arms so be patient!). The rocking action is v smooth. In summary, this chair is great value for money [...].Definitely recommend it !
from London on 6/18/2008
Very comfortable, also for very tall parents. Smooth and quiet gliding mechanism. Excellent quality.
from Essex on 6/8/2008
A great comfortable chair for feeding or general sitting according to both Grans! Only drawback is the material is a little rough but easily solved by covering with a cheap throw and keeps it clean too. We wouldn't be without it now and i can see it being used long after our little one stops bottle feeding.
from Tetbury on 6/6/2008
We brought this chair as I am finding it hard to get on and off the sofa. I have 5 weeks to go and I am huge!
The chair was very easy to assemble for my husband and mum, whilst I watched!
Great value. I was concerned that it would not be as good as the other brands available on the market as there is such a price difference but it's great.
from Bucks on 6/4/2008
Very glad we got this nursing chair. So many people have told me that it's important to plan somewhere comfortable for feeding, and I am sure this will do the job well. For now, in the late stages of pregnancy, it's just a lovely place to sit, read, watch tv or do a relaxation exercise. And my partner wants one for himself!
from Sale, Cheshire on 5/28/2008
Great for relaxing and both the chair and the foot stool glides smoothly.
from London on 5/11/2008
The Hauck Glider Reclining nursing chair is comfortable, practical and exceptional value for money. [...] I've shopped online at most of the leading baby stores, and Kiddicare are by far and away the best. The only drawback to the Hauck chair is that it doesn't look particularly stylish, but that's true of all the nursing chairs I've seen.
from Rochford, Essex on 4/27/2008
Felt a little indulgent buying this for myself but this has definitely been one of our best buys! Spent many comfy hours breastfeeding in this chair. It proved it's worth during those sleepless nights when we could settle down having a cuddle rocking in the chair. It is a good size, well padded and supportive, good for thoses early days when you're a little tender and stiff too. Wouldn't be without it now. Older children love it too!!

great chair and little to add given all the great comments already on here. one word of warning though - I was disappointed by the colour. despite the description saying beige and the pic looking beige, the chair i received has a definite orangey tinge to its beigeness! Put me off a little when I opened the box and thought it was worth warning others...
from Kent on 3/17/2008
Intially very impressed with the chair. Very comfy and used it in late pregnancy. Unfortunately, not been able to breastfeed in it because high arms make it impossible to position baby, and worry about hitting her head against the unpadded wooden bit.
Still use it however for cuddles which we both enjoy.
from essex on 3/13/2008
gives good support especially for mums with back ache
from Hertfordshire on 3/13/2008
Using it to relax after work as not due till end June. Have put it in the nursery facing the window.
from Ireland on 3/12/2008
This chair was very easily assembled, literally 10 minutes max! The chair is ver comfortable and the reclining and rocky would put anyone asleep never mind the baby :). Would recommend this chair and have done to friends. For the price won't expect to find anything better.
from London on 3/12/2008
I bought this after five weeks of breastfeeding on our sofa. It is definitely a far more comfortable option. The rocking motion is relaxing and it is easy to hold your baby without having to carry his/her whole weight in your arms. The downsides are that the fabric is quite rough to touch and not a great colour. (I thought from the photo that it would be cream but it is more towards a peach colour). I would describe the seat cushion as firm rather than luxurious.
from abergavveny on 3/7/2008
The wooden construction of the chair is very well and nice the firm. The material of the padding is standard and doesnt feel as good as the wood. It is comfortable and very functional i would of just liked the material covering to feel stronger. Otherwise this is excellent value for money, very simple to connect and use.
from Adlington, Lancs on 3/6/2008
I am so pleased with my chair. Its the comfiest I've been since my bump got to the clumsy stage. It also managed to relax a very grumpy father-to-be after a hard day at work, and believe me that's not easy! Easy to assemble too, even for a heavily pregnant lady.
from Merseyside on 3/4/2008
Was easy enough to assemble, though pics could perhaps have been a little clearer. Not used it yet to nurse in, as my little girl is 2+, and am due again any minute, but am hopeful it'll do the job. Wished I'd got one when she was a baby, and am pleased with this purchase so far. Seems very comfortable, and to be honest is soooo much cheaper than some of the others we have looked at.[...]
from Surbiton on 3/4/2008
This is a great chair and much cheaper than many others on the market. Very relaxing to use.
from Herts on 3/4/2008
I bought this product as it seemed very good value and had recieved very good reviews. I was disapointed the moment I opened the box. My first thought was where are the cushion covers? The covers have the appearance of cushion insides and are very thin and flimsy. My pert derier needs more padding! They are also a dark peachy beige which was not what i was expecting.
I havn't decided whether to keep it and get it re- upholstered or send it back as either way its gonna cost me more money. It is currently still in the box so I cannot comment on other aspects of performance. Much cheaper than its rivals but maybe you get what you pay for?
from Herefordshire on 3/4/2008
[...] Very easy to assemble and quick. I keep going to it every day as I just enjoy the motion. Looking forward to nursing my first child and know it will be easier than trying to arrange the pillows on the bed!
from Rainham, Essex on 3/3/2008
Am 5 months pregnant so bought in preparation for our first baby. I managed to build it myself with ease and is very very comfortable. Great for napping in the middle of the day and compared to other stores was a very good price. Would recommend this chair even if you dont have a baby!
from Southampton Hants on 3/3/2008
only small problem I can think of is that the covers can't be removed for washing as it is a light colour and I have young children who also like rocking on it!
from Portsmouth on 3/2/2008
Excellent chair
from Isle of Man on 2/29/2008
[...]while my husband was out I thought I'd try putting it together. No problem at all! It was really easy and the result is a lovely looking, sturdy, smooth gliding chair. I'm due in July and am looking forward to using it in the nursery.
from London on 2/25/2008
very comfortable, not too bulky so fits in bedroom/nursery well
from Croydon on 2/17/2008
I had looked at more expensive brands but been loath to buy as I don't find the chairs particularly attractive. At this price though I couldn't resist. [...]actually the natural wood finish/ biege upholstery is more attractive in situ than I thought it would be. Can't fault it[...] I'm glad I bought.
from Inverness, Highlands on 2/16/2008
This is by far the comfiest thing I have ever sat on, easy to assemble, sturdy and not a squeek when rocking! Pregnant at the moment and puts me to sleep everytime I sit on it! Doesnt take up much room in nursary is easy to move and even has enough space for me to sit with my heels under my bum!
I have no doubt that when baby arrives it will give excellent posture for feeding.
from Sutton Coldfield on 2/15/2008
[...] I am 30 weeks pregnant and I managed to put the chair together with ease within 30 minutes and without any heavy lifting. Feels very sturdy and strong and cushions are extremely comfortable. This chair is just as good if not better than a lot of the more expensive chairs I have tried out. Doesn't take up half as much space as you would think either! Good all round. Reclining the chair and rocking in it is mesmorising! Can see myself having many happy hours of nursing and relaxing in it!

from Cheshire on 2/12/2008
We deliberated for a while whether to get a nursing chair but they were all so big, the width and size of this was perfect and didn't take over the whole room, wish we would have done it a year ago, great price and a real quality item!!

from Surrey on 2/11/2008
We have just taken delivery of the chair [...] so this is an early review. However, it was easy to put together, reports my husband and has already soothed baby, mother AND father! Other reviews criticise an inability to lock the chair against rocking - simple solution; don't rock it and it stops!
from Surrey on 2/9/2008
Easy to setup, smooth motion and very relaxing
from Northumberland on 2/1/2008
Brilliant, cheap, comfortable, easy to assemble. What more could you ask for!! Having researched nursing chairs for some time and reading previous reviews on this particular product i took the plunge and purchased it, a boy do i wish i had done it earlier (my daughter was 3 months old). A definate must if you are breastfeeding especially night time feeds. My friend even bought one after testing mine.
from Thetford, Norfolk on 1/29/2008
We got this chair for the nursery to make night feeds comfortable. Not only will it send a baby to sleep, but you'll be snoozing too coz it's so smooth!
from Tunbridge Wells, Kent on 1/29/2008
My wife loves this chair. We tried out some of the more expensive brands which were great too but way more expensive for very little extra. This one is /nearly/ as good although a little more stuffing in the back cushion wouldn't go amiss.
The reclining mechanism is basic but works well though you couldn't adjust it while holding a baby since you have to lift both armrests (like a reclining garden chair).
My wife is 7 months pregnant and find it more comfortable than the sofa as it seems to support her bump better. I have to confess I'm occassionaly caught in it too. :)
The most pleasing thing about it is that it's well built - they haven't skimped on the quality of wood so it should last a good long time.
The only downside apart from perhaps wanting a little more back cushioning (though it depends on your preferences) is that there is no lock to prevent the rocking action.
I'm not sure how big a problem that will be in the future but if it needs one I'd probably just make one myself anyway - it wouldn't be rocket science.
from sunderland on 1/27/2008
I love this chair! I've spent up to 5 hours a night sitting in it, and I'm so pleased I invested in a decent one. Sitting up breast feeding at night can be lonely and extremely frustrating, so its definately not something to compromise on.
My only critizism is that once my daughter has grown a bit her feet reach the arms whilst I'm feeding, enabling her to kick it. This is not good whist she has hold of my nipple! It would be better if the arms were shorter so that her legs could dangle off the side in front of the arm.
All in all though I would definately recommend it, and I don't see what the more expensive ones have that this one doesn't.
from BIRMINGHAM on 1/27/2008
QUALITY HARDWOOD WITH NICE FINISH.
VERY COMFORTABLE FOR ALL FAMILY TO USE.
GREAT PRICE COMPARED TO OTHER BRANDS.
RECLINE GOOD BUT A BIT FIDDLY.
from Drefach, Llaneli, Carmarthenshire on 1/26/2008
Very happy indeed with the chair. I am making a great deal of use of it. One of the best purchases I have made - well wrth the money.
from Cheshire on 1/26/2008
Cannot comment on use of chair with toddler yet, as daughter is still a baby. Have no complaints so far andam really pleased with sturdiness and value for money.
from Guildford, Surrey on 1/25/2008
My sister came to see and said haven't you bought a nursing chair yet, i love mine i still use it now. So, that afternoon when our daughter was two weeks old, we ordered one online and have never looked back!
We bought the Hauck glider chair and footstool. it was very reasonably priced, easy to assemble (allan keys only, no scredrivers - and alan keys provided). it reclines but it's comfortable that i don't often use the recline option - i don't feel the need. I feed my daughter at midnight and it is nice to be comfortable and relaxed while doing so! i just sit in the chair. she leans her head on the padded arm and then i put my feet up! We also use it at bedtime, rocking in it and listening to her lullaby. For both of us we know this is part of our bedtime routine.
There are handy side pockets too - we keep a muslin, a book, infacol, and the mobile remote control in so all our bedtime needs are right by my side.
It's probably the one thing that if i had to save up for in terms of baby equipment, i would. Even my dad wants one at home just to use a rocking chair as it's so comfortable!
from Edinburgh on 1/24/2008
Initially I didn't think I would get a great deal of benefit from a specific nursing chair. But although my baby has not yet arrived, I am overdue, I already use it daily. Last week I had a very sore back so my husband brought this chair into the living room for me and I find it the most comfortable place to sit and it is good for my posture. I love the pockets at the side of the chair which my husband calls my 'holsters' they are perfect for TV remote's, phones and lipbalms! I am now convinced that this was an invaluable purchase. I look forward to having it back in the nursery when my baby arrives to be put to it's intended use.
from Wales on 1/24/2008
Great for settling the baby for nursing and rocking to sleep.
from Southampton on 1/23/2008
I bought the chair to soothe my pregnant wife. The only complaint I have about this chair is the upholstery. It's not even close to luxurious as stated in the product description. An option to upgrade it would be nice. However, for the paying price, I guess that's what the consumers should be expecting to get(?). All in all, a good purhase for the value; if you think Dutailier is too expensive.
from Crawley, W Sussex on 1/23/2008
This is a comfortable chair and is far better value than many at two, three and even four times the price. The cushions could be thicker but are acceptable. It is easy to recline...so long as you have both hands available! It is not quite so easy to sit back up again, but this is not a problem. The rocking motion is very smooth and easy.
All in all, even allowing for the couple of quibbles, this is a very acceptable chair and stool and we are very happy with it.
from London on 1/22/2008
This is an all round good chair and stool and whilst I'm sure there are better chairs out there, for the price this one' great.
Whilst the chair is generally comfortable the base cushion could be a bit softer. I've also found that the arms are quite high (or base too low) and my little one has a tendancy to propel himself off the armrests with his feet ... although this may happen in all chairs!
Also found the colour to be slightly different than in the pictures shown.
from Fife on 1/22/2008
Bought this chair for the birth of our 2nd child and really wish we had bought it three years previously! This chair is so comfy... ideal for feeding and even just having a wee seat in!
When our daughter gets bigger and we no longer need the chair for feeding it will be getting moved for use in the conservitory as it such a good piece of furniture.
Easy to assemble and was delivered quickly.
I would recomend this chair to anyone!
from Manchester on 1/21/2008
Ideal for relaxed breast or bottle feeding though as baby gets longer I am finding the need to have a pillow across my knees due to the height of the arms. Good used with gliding stool. Am mainly using for bedtime and middle of night feeds and am able to be comfortable for longer 40-45 minute feeds.
from Bucks on 1/20/2008
Brilliant value for money. Comfortable and smooth rocker. The only down side is that covers are not removable but you can sponge clean.
from Ipswich on 1/19/2008
This chair is perfect for nursing and is a joy to sit in, especially during those tiring night time feeds. The best purchase we have made for motherhood!
from Cranleigh, Surrey on 1/19/2008
Great for nursing, comfortble and stylish! Great piece of furniture!
from Ballabeg, Isle of Man on 1/18/2008
For feeding my son. It is very comfortable but also sturdy.
from London on 1/18/2008
Great value when compared with some other makes of the same product. [...]assembly [...] quick and hassle free! Have recommended that all my pregnant friends look into getting a similar chair as it was one of the best purchases we made.
from Scotland on 1/18/2008
I used this rocking chair before the baby and it was very smooth and comfortable.
from Hull on 1/18/2008
We are first time parents and it was to feed rocking on the chair, it relaxed our baby and us at the same time! I was breast feeding and it was really comfortable.
from Wilshire on 1/13/2008
Very comfortable, great when feeding, sends us both to sleep with it's smooth rocking motion.
from Staffordshire on 1/10/2008
When we first bought the chair we thought it would be used primarily while we were feeding our son. But during the first couple of months he had colic and the chair became very useful in helping him go to sleep. It hasn't stopped there, now that he is teething the rocking comforts him and when you have to hold a baby at 2 in the morning for a couple of hours you need a comfortable chair.
You do not need to buy the most expensive this is just as good as the others.
A hint though, buy a cushion for your head if you are tall, as the wood can get a bit hard on the back of the head.
from Thatcham on 1/10/2008
*This chair is perfect for getting the little one off to sleep with his last bottle of the day.
*I found it too reclined and narrow to breastfeed in.
*This chair was used a lot in final month of pregnancy and may be the reason the baby was back to back.
*The grandparents want it for their house if we ever want to get rid of it!
from Bracknell, Berkshire on 1/9/2008
quick and easy to assemble. very comfortable
from Glos on 1/9/2008
Shame it arrived without instructions or any screws/fixings. [...]Relatively easy to put together- one of the holes was too small for its screw though and took some force to fit.Once built- v. comfy and will doubtless come in v. handy for those late night feeds.
from Salisbury, Wiltshire on 1/8/2008
Chair is really comfortable & glides well. Very good for price, nice oak wood & padded cushions. Well worth it.
