Convertible crib question.

Ok so this is our first, we're planning on trying again when he's about a year old. Would you get a convertible crib that changes to a full bed, then just buy another crib for #2? Or would you just do a regular crib, and buy #1 a twin or bunk beds (if we get same sex) and let #2 use the old crib? The only thing is if we have a girl next time around, we're going to wish we'd gone with the convertible. Decisions decisions... that probably didn't even make sense!

    I'd get the convertible crib.   Even if you don't convert it right away, it's still a crib for #2 to use too.  You'd know the sex of the 2nd baby before you'd take #1 out of the crib I'm sure so you could just make the decision then on buying a 2nd crib or buying the bunk beds etc.  I just kind of figure I'll be buying 2 convertible cribs before we are done with babies.  That's a bed for each of them as they grow.

    We are on baby number 1 and bought the convertible crib, I do not think our little guy will use it because my DH is convinced that we will be getting this super awesome "Fort Bed"...lol.  I wanted to go with the convertible because one day I think it will look really nice as a full bed, even if we don't use it for the kids...it would work as a guest bed.

    We are doing the convertible crib as well.  I like the idea of the baby growing with the crib. We do have a back up regular crib that friend's of ours gave us since they are done having kids.  So, if we don't like the convertible, we have a spare, or we can use it for the next child.

    I would get a regular bed.  Toddler beds are cheaper than cribs, and my son basically ATE his crib when teething; I definitely wouldnt want to keep it for his big boy bed!  I think most people I know buy a nice crib for all of their kids to share, cheap toddler beds to get through that one year that they need them, and then at 3 years -ish, get their kids a full nice bedroom set that they can keep for a long time.
