# Safety Products for Nursery Gliders
Nursery gliders are chairs that are set on a track. This allows a mother or caregiver to rock back and forth as she holds a baby. It is unlike a rocking chair in that rocking chairs tip back and forth, whereas the movement of a glider is more horizontal. A few products improve the safety of these devices.

Risk
-
The primary risk associated with nursery gliders is fingers becoming trapped where the chair meets the tracks. If caught in the sliding mechanism, a crawling baby or toddler could seriously damage their fingers.
Wooden Panels
-
One way to guard against this threat is to ensure your nursery glider has wooden panels installed on the right and left sides. This stops babies and toddlers from reaching the sliding mechanism.
Locking Mechanism
-
Another way to guard against this threat is to purchase a glider with a locking mechanism installed or to have one installed. This stops babies and toddlers from moving the glider when no one else is in the room.
