[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It doesn’t make me feel my baby is “ super special” to what a new, safe crib for him. I’m willing to budge on some things like clothes, swings, bouncers, etc., but not a crib or something important like a car seat. [/quote]

Given safety requirements, my understanding is the all new-ish cribs (<7 years old, post drop sides) are safe.  There isn't any safety justification for a more expensive crib on safety grounds.  Even used cribs can just be washed with soapy water.  (Of course, get a new mattress.)

OP, you'd get a very different set of answers if you asked about strollers.  In that category, there is a huge difference in ease of use and comfort.  It's a great place to splurge.  I bet most here would support a splurge for a nicer stroller.  Many would also encourage a splurge on a nicer chair or glider for the nursery.  Many would support an expensive-ish car seat, as cheaper models can be less safe and have frustrating features (e.g., install or straps).

The thing with a crib is that they're mostly all the same and even if you want nice furniture, you have to know that the crib is likely going to get beat up and chewed so any extra investment is just a waste.  Wait and get a quality big kid bed in two or three years.  Get the cheapest crib you can stand now.  Spluge in other areas.[/quote]

THIS.  OP, I know this is not what you wanted to hear.  It’s obvious from your posts in this thread.  Not sure why you bothered asking this question. Just get what you want.  If you have the money to spend on a crib like pottery barn just do it.  It’s obviously not important to most here to spend gobs on a crib, but if you are hell bent then just do it for heavens sake.  Your question was not worth asking.  Come back and ask about car seats (something where it actually matters).0[/quote]

OP here. We decided to go with Million Dollar Baby. The total for the crib, dresser, and changing table topper was a little under over $1200 with taxes and delivery. I would have spent double on Pottery Barn Kids.

We bought an UppaBaby V2 with the Mesa car seat. Do you have any recommendations for a nursery chair? I would prefer a recliner or glider that can last for 3-5 years. [/quote]
