Would a chinchilla be considered a rodent?

I was just wondering.Would a chinchilla be considered a rodent?
Yes, chinchillas are considered rodents because they have two upper incisors and two lower incisors that grow continuously. However, some scientists are trying to classify chinchillas, guinea pigs, and similar animals in a different suborder from other rodents because they give birth to fully-developed offspring. Most rodent babies are born blind and hairless, while chinchillas and guinea pigs are not.Would a chinchilla be considered a rodent?
