[quote=Anonymous]We did the cheap IKEA crib and a hand-me-down mattress. The platform attachment does seem flimsy, but doesn't feel so in practice. One pleasant surprise was even the cheap one comes with a toddler bed conversion--looks like this is now mentioned in IKEA's materials but 2 years ago it wasn't indicated anywhere, we found it out when opening the box at home. I sat on the toddler bed many a time with no problems. We went with IKEA on the advice of baby bargains. I agree to save your money for things like comfortable seating for nursing (doesn't have to be a dutalier glider, a la-z-boy works just as well, or even, god forbid, an armchair).

Another piece of unsolicited advice: we bought the crib when baby was a few weeks old (had a cosleeper). it is SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE going to IKEA AFTER the baby is born than in the third trimester. If you're already at the slow-moving, pee-a-lot stage of pregnancy, just wait on the crib until mat leave. IKEA is very kid friendly (family changing rooms with chairs for nursing, kid section is right near the food and bathrooms, etc) so it's a manageable trip for a new family. [/quote]
