Dutailier 10080 or 212844?

[janinegillot]

Ok, now I'm thinking that I should splurge on a dutailier. But I'm still being cheap about it and have found these two on sale.
Baby catalog has the 10080 for $303

and Good Night Ben has the 212844 for $270.

The one from GNB is cheaper and has a locking position thing, but there are only 2 fabric choices and I don't know how comfortable it is.

The one from Baby Catalog has all the fabric choices, but it's more expensive, has no lock, and wasn't as comfortable as the 11780 that I sat in at a store. Unfortunately, I can't compare the GNB one because stores don't have it.

Any insight?

Have you called GNB? There's talk of them not shipping to the us anymore....

Just a thought, but I was talking to the Rocking Chair Outlet just the other day and they had informed me that they were coming out with their own line of glider chair that is better than the Dutailier in many ways. I guess on all the Dutailier chairs if you put your weight forward just a bit the chair tips over, which is very dangerous for toddlers, so the Rocking chair outlet is fixing that on their chairs, also, on the Dutailiers the multi-position lock is an option, on the Rocking chair outlet chairs it comes with the multi-position lock!
Their prices are very good and they were very helpful. That was my expierence.

Thanks
