TTM about buying a crib online please

ShePersisted · July 2014

LO will not sleep in his PNP anymore since we got back. He insists on sharing the bed and I need to buy a crib ASAP.

We don't own a car and renting an SUV just to go to ikea for a $100 crib seems overkill. Amazon seems to have done great options that have free delivery. Anyone ordered a crib off amazon? Any recommendations on brand?

We need something under $200, compact, as it will be placed in our bedroom for a year at least. Of course need it to be sturdy and safe but storage would be great. Don't care if it converts into a toddler bed as we will transition LO to a full sized bed in his room after he is one year.

PS: BRU & BBB are not an option as their delivery charges are out of whack for NYC!

I haven't but I find amazon reviews to be pretty spot on. Check on those and go for it. Honestly, unless its an unsafe crib (which you wouldn't be buying new anyways) I think the differences are strictly aesthetic.

I have a Graco we got on walmart.com. I try to avoid walmart, but the finish we wanted was being discontinued, and they were the only one with it still in stock. I figured Graco is Graco. It's the Lauren, no storage built in but was well under $200.

We also have the Graco Lauren and got it from Walmart for under $200 and I think that even included a mattress.

We have two of the cribs already discussed in this post, both ordered online. The one in the nursery is a A graco Lauren, and DD's is a BabyMod from Wal-Mart. We've been happy with both. The Graco is less expensive but I like how the BByMod converts to a toddler bed and it comes with the half rail for one side,

I ordered my mini crib from amazon. Just pick one with good user reviews.

@BlueDot818‌ will probably have a lot of good advice on this!

ShePersisted · July 2014

Thanks ladies!

@BlueDot818‌ I'll check out way fair. That really sounds like a great deal. Was the mattress good quality?

We bought our crib from Sears but the matching change table off Amazon. I agree, the reviews were spot on. What style/colour are you looking for?

I think overstock.com has cheap/free delivery too

ShePersisted · July 2014

@MissDemeanor‌ we are open in style but prefer color to be dark brown or cherry that goes with what we currently have in our bedroom. Key point is compactness as our bedroom is not very big. I don't even care if it does not convert to a toddler bed something very very basic will do.

Good! Looks like it worked. We have a different stork craft model, the Carrara and are very happy with it. But my above link it more compact, and on a great sale

If compactness is key have you considered a mini crib?

Won't work as we don't want to take a chance Incase we have sleep issues as he gets older and does not want to sleep in the full bed that we have currently. I looked at the mini cribs and those seem small already

Thanks @missdemeanor I've been eyeing this one. I was unsure of the quality hence was asking. It has only 7 reviews.

I have the same crib as @BlueDot818‌ and I love it! Comes in a dark finish too. I ordered it off amazon and it arrived fine, no damage.

I'm not sure if they'd be the same but the quality of ours is great, very sturdy.
