I am extremely disappointed in the quality of this chair after paying such a large amount of money for it I would've expected it to last me through feeding my second child however 2 years after purchasing the mesh material on the inside of the ottoman started to flake off, making the biggest mess of my child's bedroom. Another year on and the vinyl material (it is definitely not leather) on the seat of the chair started cracking very noticeably - the whole seat is now peeling and I am a position where I have to replace the chair.

I spent AGES researching glider chairs online and visited many stores trying chairs. I was always disappointed how cheap looking they were and didn't think they were that comfortable - namely any of the valco ones I found or similar. I found the babyhood manhattan glider online by chance and then looked up online reviews and found they were pretty positive. Also there was a video on youtube with a demonstration. I liked how it looked a little more supportive and better quality than anything else I'd seen. I took the plunge and ordered it online...Read more

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I researched these chairs for ages before deciding on the Manhattan glider and was really excited when it arrived.

However, after just two months a weld on the chair came apart, making it unusable.

When I returned it, the manufacturer claimed the chair wasn't faulty, but that I had broken it. I was shocked, as I'd only ever used it to feed and rock my newborn. When I inquired further, I was told by their legal department that I must have put "too much weight on the arm of the chair".

This product is not made to stand normal use.

I've now spent more than $300 in couriers shipping this chair around getting it fixed.

I tried all the different options in the baby stores but this glider is by far the very best.

After 3 children and years of computer work my back is often painful.

This Glider gives me excellent support in my shoulders, arms and upper back and unlike all the other gliders it gives me extra lower back support. I do not have to stick pillows under me or behind my back.

The store I bought it from gave me the babyhood nursing pillow as a bonus gift, to support my baby and take any pressure off my neck. They work so well together.

I now really enjoy breastfeeding with no pain or discomfort.

absolutely love this chair! great investment pre- & post-pregnancy. we paid $500 for it from our local pram warehouse store, but i have seen it retail for up to $650. it gives me good support in the lower back & the recline allows me to relax, as i can't lie on my side on the couch for too long or my arm goes numb. also, does fit in the back of a standard sedan if you take it out of its box.
after spending the last few weeks not being able to get off the couch easily, i bit the bullet & got my glider. was always going to get it, but didn't ...Read more
