Babyletto Kiwi Electronic Recliner and Swivel Glider with USB Port
Buy itA power-reclining, USB-equipped glider that lets an exhausted parent recline and swivel without jostling a sleeping baby.
- Motorized recline adjusts to any angle at the touch of a button, so you never have to yank a lever and wake the baby
- Smooth, near-silent glide plus a full 360-degree swivel that reviewers consistently rate among the best in class
- Built-in USB port and generously padded, supportive cushioning owners still praise after a year of nightly use
- Needs to sit near an outlet, which limits where it can go in the room
- One of the priciest options here, and the powered mechanism is one more thing that can eventually fail

Buy itThe value pick: a manual swivel-glider recliner that delivers most of the comfort of premium chairs for far less.
- Smooth glide and swivel with a manual recline, so there is no motor or outlet to worry about
- GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions, with a plush pillow-back most owners find genuinely comfortable
- Compact enough for smaller nurseries while still reclining far enough for real rest
- Manual recline requires a bit of effort and can creak slightly until it breaks in
- Fewer color and fabric options than the premium brands
