Jenny Lind Crib ?

Shandie_725

I haven't heard much about this company except for great reviews. My dad has a co-worker who has a crib that's about 1 1/2 years old and is looking to sell it for $60. 

Just wanted some input from other ladies about the quality of Jenny Lind. TIA!

To quote my mother "I raised 4 crazy kids on one Jenny Lind Crib!"

Jenny Lind isn't a brand..its a style named after a singer.

You can buy a new Jenny Lind with a stationary fixed side (a new thing for this style) rather than drop down for $100.

Delta makes the $100 one, but has nasty reviews. The company, not the crib. Buy this one at BRU, right off the shelf.

Da Vinci makes one for $200 and the company has excellant reviews. Buy this one at Target or Walmart, also right off the shelf.

However, with this particular style of crib I don't think they can really go wrong with them (especially with the new stationary sides - even a poorly rated company). The same style has been replicated from company to company for years. My crib was a Jenny Lind and all my siblings. I wouldn't be surprised if yours was! It was "the crib".

Ha! I didn't actually scroll down to see how long that about was! I don't expect you to read it, unless of course you feel compelled. I was just hoping it was explain why the crib is named after her. She slept in beds that were turned - spindle style - on the posts. The style quickly became popular and elegant...and well..there you go.

My aunt is trying to give me the crib I used when I was a baby (so circa 1982) that is a jenny Lind. They hold up well (but we are still going to get a new one I think)

I purchased the Delta Jenny Lind from BRU and really like it so far.  The bad reviews in Baby Bargians are due to a company wide recall for it's drop side cribs, this is no longer a drop side.  It took my DH and I about 15 min to put together (very easy).  I don't have a baby yet, but we put both of the dogs in there, and it was extremely stable.  If you look at BRU now, it has great reviews.

This is an awesome crib stability test.

I bought the Delta stationary from BRU. I love how it looks in the nursery, and it does seem really stable. I just couldn't see spending $400 on our crib when I found one I really loved for $130.
