Rockers vs Gliders...?

Not sure but I think that the gliders make be more safe. Personally I think they are more comfortable, and since I'm a penny pincher I found a glider for about $100 and chose not to get an ottoman to save money. Well, now I kind of wish I had gotten the ottoman! The ones that glide are more expensive but probably very comfortable, but you may be able to use just a regular stationary one, if you like it.
