rocking-chair
Grandma's porch seat
A rocking-chair is a chair mounted on curved runners that allow it to rock back and forth.
The gentle motion soothes infants and relaxes adults.
Rocking-chairs are associated with porches, nursing mothers, and elderly people at rest: Grandma spent her afternoons in the rocking-chair on the porch.
