Default Help with Rocking Chiar Blues!!!!!!!!

OK everyone...I went online to try to solve this issue but have had no luck. Who would have thought that I would not get my answer through an online search!!!
Here is my problem...
I was delighted to get a new rocker for my birthday! It is regal...big heavy, just lovely! Saffire and I were so excited. We have put alot of miles on our old glider rocker and could not wait to break the new one in!! Well..it is so soothing to rock in...so smooth...relaxing HOWEVER....we start out in one spot and before you know it we are rocked back into the corner or the closet or the wall!! I then need to get up and pull it out to the middle of the room...and start the process all over again. Each time I get up it disturbbs Saffire and ultimately it takes much longer to rock her to sleep.
I have put a carpet under it....a gripper for carpets under the carpet and even directly under the chair....it eventually rolls it up and the nice easy rocking motion turns into a bumpy lumpy ride!!
HELP!!!!
Any suggestions are so welcome for this ol grama!!Thanks!!

Dorrie...If you can find them rocker skids will stop the problem. They are small flexible rubber shapes that stick to the bottom of the rocker. Usually Lowe's, Home Depot or any hardware store probably will carry them.

Hope you can find them...have you also tried not rocking quite so hard...I was doing this in a smaller rocker and it would take me all the way across the room.lol
