Dutailier chairs - how much to shell out...?

[wibbleymum]

Have been tempted for a while to buy a glider chair, and after sitting in a Dutailier one in John Lewis and feeling how comfy they are I think I'm going to take the plunge.

Kiddicare seem to have the best prices. They have a "Tilly" one at #250 for a chair (with locking mechanism) and stool,

and a "Penny" one at #400 for the chair and stool, which is basically similar but with more padded upholstery,

Can't help feeling that #150 is a lot of money for a bit of extra padding, but has anyone compared the cheaper ones with the more expensive ones?

Have you tried eBay for a second hand one?

There's one on Kiddicare for £90 with delivery by Thursday. What is the dutailer one? and how is it different?

When the midwife visited me at home with my 1st, she said to avoid glider chairs as you should always have your feet flat on the floor for breastfeeding. If you have your feet raised,you are (apparently) likely to get 'bad backache'.

They seem to be popular though!

I got one off ebay, new, generic brand and it's fine. I would probably agree with the Bfeeding comment though as I got mine after we were well established.
