Storkcraft vs Graco Cribs

I've been researching this like crazy on Google and searching within our forum and throughout the bump.. I'm hoping to get some straight forward answers from women I trust :) 

We are stuck deciding between a Graco crib (either Stanton or Hayden) and a Storkcraft Crib (Carrara). Does anyone have experience with Storkcraft cribs? I've heard great things about Graco cribs, but not much chatter about Storkcraft. It's hard to tell if they're a superior or inferior manufacturer...

Hoping you can help! :)

Thanks!! 

Re: Storkcraft vs Graco Cribs

  • Honestly... to me a crib is a crib is a crib.  They all have to meet the same safety standards.  We got a cheap on at Walmart and it has survived two kids and will be perfectly fine for number 3 too.  That said if you're dead set on one of those two, I would go with Graco.  It's a brand I know and trust on other things, so I'd stick with them

  • We also bought the Storkcraft Portofino with the attached changer. We picked the espresso & it goes great with the rest of our furniture. Bonus that it comes with the toddler rail and does not require the purchase of an additional set of rails to convert to full size bed. The head & footboard will attached to a standard metal bedframe if you choose to convert. Changer turns into a small independent dresser/table once detached. We picked it out at BRU, but I found it on sale at Kohls + 30%off coupon, free shipping & Kohls Cash, it was a win. I've also heard great things about Graco, Ikea, and serveral others...best to get what works for your space & budget....I'm all about a bargain, good luck on your search! =)
  • I used a Storkcraft with #1 & 2 - it was fine.  I'm with PP - a crib is a crib, so I'm not going to rave about it or say it's better than other options, but it was fine for our purposes.

    Good luck :)
