Even though different gliders have overall different sizes, they are more or less the same when it comes to seat size.
Not with the Baby Relax Hadley Double Rocker though - this one here, as you can probably tell by its name, is 1.5 times wider than your average standard rocker.

What We Love
Generous Seating
Not a surprise, but its generous seat space - its biggest appeal, is what keeps drawing people to the Hadley.
Understandably so - so many people have been looking for a glider with wide seat space but even though there are many that claim to be so, they are usually just 1-2 inches of difference amongst different brands. That is simply not enough, especially if you are on the plus size.
Yes, the Hadley rocker is the best glider for plus size if we may say so. With a total seat width of 33 inches, it will fit anyone comfortably as it is easily 1 and a half times as wide as a regular rocker.
Even two adults, if they are the average size. It is that spacious.
This is especially good news to those who often need to juggle two kids at a time. You see, sometimes you just aren't able to put your newborn down yet at the same time, your toddler requires your attention too, say, for bedtime.
This big rocker chair allows you to cuddle/rock your toddler while s/he sits next to you as you carry your newborn in your arms! You can read him/her a book and cuddle him all the while rocking your baby to sleep in your arms.
Even if you have two toddlers, we don't think there is a problem with the three of you fitting in.
It makes for a good glider for nursing as well because there is ample space for your baby to lie sideways across your arms, unlike others where the armrests may restrain your baby after a while as s/he grows.
Sounds perfectly ideal for the growing family eh?
Classic Rocking Chair
Another thing that sets the Baby Relax Hadley apart from the rest is that it is shaped like a classic rocking chair.
If you are one who prefers the classic, traditional look instead of modern designs, this nursery rocker will be perfect for you.
Depending on your preference, the Hadley comes in two neutral shades:
We especially like the striking two toned gray welt trim (white for the Taupe) that beautifully accentuates the shape and adds the perfect finishing touch to this rocker.
Well-Built & Sturdy
In terms of construction, this baby rocker here has one of the sturdiest built we have ever came across.
The aforementioned arch base rails are made of solid wood and the entire chair is fully upholstered with high quality fabric. The seat is plush and the armrests and back cushions are luxuriously padded for ultimate comfort.
It can easily support a weight of beyond 300 pounds without any problems so again, another reason why it is the best glider for plus size.
Things to Note
Now, it may seem obvious, but this is no best glider for small nursery. The Hadley will take up rather significant floor space so if you have limited floor space, this may not be the best nursery glider for you.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you will need to place the Hadley on a flat surface for it to rock smoothly. If you place it on carpet flooring, you may find the rocking motion not quite as smooth.
Also, this chair requires basic assembly and you will probably need two persons to get the job done. Nothing too complicated, but surely not as convenient as a fully assembled unit.
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
Bringing unrivalled comfort to a whole new level, you will never run out of seating space again with the Baby Relax Hadley Double Rocker.
What' even better, is that a matching storage ottoman is also available for sale if you wish to have some place to kick up your feet. We also wouldn't complain about the extra storage it has, would we?
