Re: Poll: Cribs
What crib did you get? It is similar to this one but in an Oak.
Does it convert to anything? Do you think its worth it?
Converts to toddler bed w/ rail, day bed, then Full size. She didn't use if for very long as a crib. We ended up co-sleeping and still do. Right now it's a toddler bed in "her room" at my grandparents house. So it's worth it.
How much did you spend on it?
FREE.
I received it as a baby shower gift from my Aunt and Uncle.
Would you get the same one if you could do it over again?
I'd co-sleep from the start if I did it over again. So I wouldn't be buying a crib.

I got a drop side crib in 2008 from someone on freecycle. I loved it and if I ever get pregnant again I would do it again.

What crib did you get? Baby's Dream Ocean drop-gate in Espresso
Does it convert to anything? Do you think its worth it? Converts to a toddler then a twin. Our 3.5 year old is in the twin now so worth it for us. One of the few cribs that converts to a twin and we don't have space for a larger bed in his room.
How much did you spend on it? $400-ish for the crib $130-ish for the conversion kit
Would you get the same one if you could do it over again? Yes, and we did - got the exact same crib for #2.

What crib did you get? Graco Sarah in cherry
Does it convert to anything? Crib, Toddler bed, day bed, then full sized headboard
Do you think its worth it? So far we have only used it as a crib and I love it. It was the look that I wanted and a good price.
How much did you spend on it? I think $130 or $140.
Would you get the same one if you could do it over again? At this point I would say yes. For the price that we paid, if we don't convert it to any of the other types of bedding, I think it was still a great deal.
What crib did you get? Can't remember name, that was 5 years ago, lol.
Does it convert to anything? Do you think its worth it? It converts to toddler and full size bed. Did not think it was worth it, we are only doing the toddler bed right now with DS (child #2) because we at the moment don't have room for twin bed (to be corrected in a couple of months. If we had the room we would have done straight to twin bed. As for full size bed option. I thought it was a good idea 5 years ago, but kids banging on the sides (dents/scratches) as well as us not having a guest bedroom made me think I will never use this as a full bed. My kids are sharing rooms so there would be no room for full sized beds for each or any. So twin sizes and bunk beds are in our future.
How much did you spend on it? ~$300-350
Would you get the same one if you could do it over again? Yes, I never bought the full size conversion kit so I"m not out of money for that.
We got the Sorelle Vista crib in Espresso for Crash. I loved it so much that I also wanted in white for B. Of course, I didn't get her that one.
The sorelle converts to a Toddler bed and to a full size bed. We bought the conversion kit for both. Crash's room is small though so more than likely I will find a set of twin bunk beds that match his Sorelle furniture.

We probably spent about $450 on the crib and an extra $150 or so on the conversion kits.
Probably would have waited on the full size conversion.
B's crib also converts but haven't bought the kit yet and probably won't. I'm thinking I will sell her crib. I do like it though. She has this in white...

Lauren Graco (from Target)
Converts to a toddler bed then twin (if you buy the additional accessories). I don't think the toddler bed is worth it because we'll go straight to a twin bed.
< $140
Yes. We like it a lot.

What crib did you get? Graco Lauren in white and the Sealy soybean foam mattress, which I love because it is lightweight and easy to change the sheet.
Does it convert to anything? Do you think its worth it? I think it converts to a toddler bed and eventually to a full size bed but I those features didn't matter to us much.
How much did you spend on it? It is listed at $139 but I got it on amazon for $119.
Would you get the same one if you could do it over again? Yes it is great for the value and has excellent reviews.
BONUS: PIP your crib! It's kind of fuzzy, but here is a picture of the crib before DD was born.
