Do I really need swivel and recline, or is a basic glider enough?

Verified-purchase reviewers and parents on Reddit consistently call out swivel as the underrated feature — it makes it easier to reach the changing table, side table, or crib without standing up with a sleeping baby. Recline matters most if you plan to sleep in the chair during cluster feeds. A basic glide-only chair with an ottoman is fine if budget is the constraint.
