[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of safety, they're all about the same. In terms of how much space they take up, Ikea's seems to be the smallest. I'm just not sure what you'd get for the extra $100-300 you want to spend on the crib when you can get a perfectly good one for $100-150. [/quote]

Most cribs fit a standard size mattress, so there's not a lot of variation, although Ikea cribs have plain frames without a bunch of trim.  We're very happy with our Ikea crib--can't remember the name--Gulliver? For about $120-140.  It also converts to a toddler bed.  Your kid doesn't need a big expensive headboard/footboard, so I don't think the expensive cribs that eventually convert into a full size bed are a good deal.  All cribs have to meet the same safety standards.[/quote]

I meant size in terms of how much space the frame take up, not the mattress. Our friends had really specific part of their wall between the bathroom and the closet they wanted to put the crib in and finding a crib without any frills coming out of the side was a hard find for them - but those extra inches of curvature bumped into the doorways they were trying to stay within. They ended up spending $400+ on the only crib that fit, but the exact same size mattress went inside as our $100 crib. We just had more room to accommodate the frilly decorations. [/quote]
