I hate crib-shopping

macchiatto

Having the hardest time finding a crib we like that's a good price and good quality. Ideally we'd like to pay less than $200 per crib, though we'll go higher if we really have to. Doesn't need to be convertible but should be sturdy and have good reviews ... I'd done my research online and in Baby Bargains and DH and I finally checked them out today in person and at BRU. It would be a lot easier if Target and Wal-Mart actually had their cribs set up in the store so you can see if they're stable or not! Ah well.

If anyone would like to recommend your crib if it meets my "stringent" criteria, please feel free. I'd LOVE recommendations!

(We would do Ikea cribs and dresser but the closest store is 4 hours away, and the shipping would more than double the price of the items!)

We had this one for our first DD, then bought the same one again to have two for the twins. Not "fancy" but it has held up just fine. We actually bought the first one from JC Penney during a free shipping promotion, the second came from somewhere online - it was the cheapest place I found when I googled the name of the crib.

BRU has a the marissa crib it is white for 89.00, if you open a credit card and use the mutiple discount you can get around 35% off. I have these cribs and they work just fine. Last year i bought 3 of these cribs for $150. These will also convert to a toddler bed. I would not spend a lot of money on a crib, since today when i was putting my son down for a nap i noticed that he had paint chips in his mouth. The stinker can stand up in his crib and starting chewing the railing. I had to go out and buy teething rails.
Good luck shopping.

RE: the cribs, we got these:

They are really, really cute and classic looking in person, and are sturdy and were easy to put together.  Not bad at all.  Plus, they are honestly quite good quality, and I'm rather particular.  The jenny lind crib they have in the store is by delta, and is not nearly as nice.

Thanks for the suggestions!
