can i see your cribs? (the baby kind, not the mtv kind)

kinibruin · December 2010

hi all!

we've been looking for cribs over the past few months but haven't seen anything lately that we liked. actually, we liked this one kind, but upon further research it was being recalled or something like that.

we've checked pottery barn kids, jcpenney, babies r us, and buy buy baby. i'm wondering if we should check a smaller baby boutique store.

is $200-$300 too much for a sturdy lifetime crib? where did you get your crib? and how does your crib look (pip if you would like!)

tia!

Here's what we have & where we got it:

We have the drop gate model. It converts to a toddler bed then a twin. We like it so much that we bought the same one for DS2.

We got the Leksvik crib from Ikea. It's inexpensive, simple and got good ratings from Baby Bargains. It converts to a toddler bed, but we'll be moving #1 to a big girl bed and continue using it as a crib for #2.

I think we have this one it is a Pali. If it isn't this one, it is similar. We lucked out and got it on Freecycle. It is gently used and very sturdy.

We have the DaVinci Emily and we ordered it from Amazon. It converts to a toddler bed and then to a full size bed.

We have the Graco Lauren crib. We got it from Target for $140. It's been great.

We bought ours on CL but its a Pali crib... https://www.pali-design.com/

For a changing table, dresser and crib it was $350. Very sturdy and has not been in any recalls.

We paid almost $500 for a Bonavite Lifestyle 4-in-1 crib and then we ended up co-sleeping and almost never used it. We thought we'd use it when we transitioned to a big boy bed, but he ended up in a queen size when we inherited a brand new bed. Oh well.

It's this one:

Coincendently this is the exact same one we have. Love the drawer underneath.

We have this one. It's Munire in the Urban style lifetime crib and it is from Goore's in Sacramento. We are lucky...ILs bought it for us. It is a really nice piece of furniture and will turn to a toddler bed, day bed and also a full size bed. I would suggest looking at a smaller boutique store, because we got a steal on ours. The owner happened to be there on the day we went to order and he ended up giving us 25% off the sale price.

We have this ragazzi crib. It's a drop side. I bought from Lullaby Lane clearance center. It has a drawer underneath and converts to a toddler bed

We decided to use my old crib from when I was a baby. It used to have an oak finish but we stripped the glossy finish and painted it yellow. It's an old Jenny Lind style. I believe they stil sell the style at BRU.
