The Storkcraft Premium Hoop Glider is a rocker that glides as opposed to traditional rockers that have a rocking motion, as their name indicates. The hoop glider style offers a back and forth motion, that is smooth and also quiet. For this reason they are marketed to those who have babies and nurseries offering comfort and a quiet back and forth glide. That being said, they are also wonderful for anyone.

The Cons
There are few cons to be found with this product as a whole but alas, the name of this site is Product Dudz, which means we are obliged to name atleast a few?
Weight Capacity: This products weight capacity is 250 lbs. Now for most people this is not an issue, even if you add the weight of the baby you cradle in this item. However, for larger people, this may not be the most ideal choice for a rocker. That being said, was able to support someone over 300 lbs, but when considering the overall dimensions - width wise, and ease of use are not going to be experienced at the same level for comfort and function. The gliding function will become less smooth over time.
