Best Cribs Out Of These Options?

[Anonymous]

I fell in love with these 3 options. Has anyone had experience with these cribs? Please no other suggestions as I don’t like any of the other options. These are the only three we like and are considering.

DaVinci Grove 4-in-1 ( third choice)

Million Dollar Baby Classic Foothill 4-in-1 ( second choice)

Pottery Barn Larkin 4-in-1 ( 1st choice)

I have no opinion on these cribs, but as a mom of three, I say get the cheapest crib or buy a used crib of the most expensive option. In fact, my general advice is to buy everything second hand except for car seats.

OP here. My favorite is the Larkin. I have friends who have one. The quality is there, but it’s very expensive. There’s also a $250 shipping fee and it can take months to be delivered. I like the second option because it’s less experience ($399) but I don’t know anyone who owns one. I’m hoping the crib will last for 3-5 years.

OP here. We are not comfortable buying a used crib. I can’t really be sure how it was cared for and we don’t want to buy any germs during the pandemic.

This. Anything not upholstered, get used. Seriously.

OP here. I find them ugly. I only like these three options. I already stated that. Please refrain from replying if it’s not about the topic.

OP here. My husband doesn’t want second hand because we don’t know what kind of elements it was exposed to ( smoke, pets, germs etc.)

Pottery barn. I would not get a used crib or car seat as they are both for safety. Spending around $400 is reasonable. I would not spend more. The cheaper cribs are not as sturdy or well made. I'm cheap but cribs and car seats were my one splurge.

Same germs as at the factory and the box and the shipping but ok. Non drop side cribs are all the same (those are outlawed anyway) are just pieces of wood that you can wash with as much sanitizer as you want.
I would buy the cheapest crib that takes the least amount of space. Spend the $ on a new thicker and hyper allergenic mattress ($100+ and more) and good organic cotton sheets.

OP here. I’m confused. You said Pottery Barn but said you would out spend more than $400. Pottery Barn Crib is $999 but in sale for $700.

The only thing we are using used is clothes from hand me downs. We are buying all the items that are super important or will be used for 2+ years new.

OP here. We are just not comfortable with buying a crib used. We plan to get one of the breathable mattresses. Are those good? We were gifted Burts Bees organic sheets.

OP here. We are looking into the Newton breathable one and the Naturepedic Organic Classic one.
