Educating myself

in the baby world over here with the Baby Bargains book. Starting with cribs since they can take a while to deliver. I am getting overwhelmed. I realize they all meet the safety standard. We have to buy 2 so I do not want to spend $600/each or more. Wish something would say "HEY, this is the one you'll be happy with!". Sorry if cribs has been posted about before. If someone has a link to a prior discussion, please post here! Thanks!

Re: Educating myself

  • I got an email from the bump not long ago. Try searching for cribs on the homepage. I was surprised to see one from ikea pretty high up on the "best list". It's 150 bucks. So was one from target for the same price.

  • I just feel like the quality of cribs can't vary THAT drastically to justify spending as much as some of them cost. If they're all required to meet the same safety standards, then I say go with one you like that doesn't cost a fortune.

    We got our crib from Walmart.  Baby Bargains said it was the generic brand version of a DaVinci.  I love it, and you can't beat the price!  I think it was even more on sale when we got it.

  • I agree, Raven & Pumpkin. We def do not have money to burn. I leaning toward a convertible crib so we aren't running out a year from now buying two beds. A mainstream good quality that can last a few years would be ideal.

  • Whatever crib you buy..consider getting the fabric rail covers..the little demons love to stand up in the crib and chew the rails like deranged squirells so the crib rails end up looking like chewed pencils. I bought fleece ones on amazon so they can be

  • Yeah, I agree it gets overwhelming when your looking for 2! We are also buying 2 cribs and going with the Ikea ones. From what I hear the babies will chew on the crib so that makes anything convertible less appealing to me. Plus 2 cribs for 300 is a ba

  • If all goes well, and praying it does, I plan for these twins to be our only 2. That's why I am interested in convertible cribs.
