Cribs Posted: 06-06-06 12:33pm
Bf's parents are coming.. Heck, I don't
even know when... Sometime this month...
To buy a crib and I don't know what else
for the baby.
His mom told me to be looking at some
cribs to try and pick something out, but
my question is, what's a reasonable price
for a crib? Of course I want something
good and safe, but i'm also not going to
ask them to buy something outrageous.
It's awesome enough that they're buying
it. I would like to find a set with at
least a crib and changing table.
I appreciate any input, thanks!

I think 200-300$ is a decent crib price.
My mom got trey's but she had "points" on
her card so only ended up paying like 80$
in cash and the rest in points. The type
of mattress is important too, and a decent
one is anywhere in th 50-100$ range.
Happy hunting!

Ya they can get really expensive.
Lalee, I like the one with the drawer
underneath with bars on all sides (the
cheaper one) and just think those are
your prices, they cost even more up here!!
My next purchase is a toddler bed and
gate. Ugh.

They're not the same. :p the first one
has solid sides, the other does not, so
ha! Hehe.
I like the one with the drawer on the
bottom just cause, well, I like the drawer
on the bottom. Lol. I just like the
looks of the other two better. Starting
to lean toward the last one, although i'll
change my mind in five minutes.

Be glad you only have to buy one crib at a
time. Buying one of eveything is
expensive enough and damn I got to buy two

Go to a yard sale or a garage sale for the
crib and then purchase a new matress and
bumper pad, sometimes you can find sime
good deals on those sales and have them
fixed up.

I found a good one that had not even been
taken out of the box, never used or bought
not to long ago for a friend of mine at a
yard sale the lady had m/c and the lady
just wanted to get rid of all of the
stuff, we bought a crib, high chair,
changing table, clothes, dress r
drawers(sp), bath set, diapers, play pen,
swing, pretty much everything, the store
would not take it back and we paid $100.00
for everything plus more things such as a
ddiaper pail and odds and ends. You can
find some deals. That is all they had to
do was to buy a mattress because it did
not come with one, yes. I do agree, their
are times that people do sell a lot of
junk!

that's the one we got! I liked it in
cherry but thought it would make the room
seem too dark so we got it in oak. I also
got the matching combo 3-drawer
dresser/changing table. If you're going
to get that one make sure you get it from
wal-mart. Not only is it $60 cheaper,
shipping is way less. (target was
charging $880 for the crib and dresser
w/shipping and we got them from walmart
for $660 w/shipping.)

While we're talking cribs, does anyone
recommend a good mattress? I'm reading
reviews on babiesrus.Com but it seems like
most people only submit a review when
they're not satisfied with the product.
If I go by those it would seem that all
mattresses suck!
And also, what's everyone's take on
bumpers? I think they look adorable but
if they're unsafe then I clearly won't use
them. I've seen the mesh breathable ones
but I think those are kind of ugly (again
though, safety first!). But I don't want
to go without either...
Sorry for taking over your thread lalee!
I figured it kind of went with the whole
crib thing and maybe you'd be interested
in this stuff too.
