Cribs

DH and I have started looking at cribs and are a bit unsure besides style and one that has fixed sides, what we should be looking for. We are definitely interested in a convertible crib (one that transitions as the baby gets older) What are key points to look for?

    I would recommend buying the book baby bargains - it has lots of good info.

    Definitely fixed sides, and I don't recommend anything with a changing table attached, as the kiddo can climb onto it!

    learning from experience, we bought an outrageously expensive pottery barn convertible crib. I love it. But we weren't ready for DS to leave our room, and so we ended up buying a ikea crib..and it works JUST AS WELL!

    We have the Graco Lauren and love it. It was rated well, has one of the lowest formeldehyde ratings, and was inexpensive. Good luck!

    We settled on the Baby Italia Pinehurst Classic crib from Babies R Us.  We looked for one that was sturdy, met the standards required by law (though I think they all do - we asked anyways) and one that doesn't scratch easily.  I really don't think you can go wrong with what is out there.  I do think drop-side cribs are going away, so you may want to stay away from those.  Good luck!

    We purchased the Gulliver crib from IKEA. It's gotten a lot of great reviews and was part of the Baby Bargains book. For just $99 in white it's a steal! It was quite easy to assemble and I'm sure it's going to be great when the little one arrives in a few days. :)
