Great crib! - Brandante, Sep 10, 2007

We got this crib because our son refused to sleep in two of the other "pack and play" style cribs. Fortunately, he took right to this one on the road! Maybe it's because it looks and feels more like his "real" crib.

It is a bit bulky so fortunately our vehicle can handle it (lies flat in the back); otherwise, it would be difficult to use. The mattress is a little flimsy. Overall, though, we are pleased with the quality.

Great for small spaces - A. Hunderfund, Jul 21, 2007

This crib was a lifesaver for us! We live in a small condo and didn't have room for a full-size crib. This was the PERFECT solution. Because it's made of wood, it looks much classier than the other alternatives we considered (which were made of white plastic tubing or were pack-and-plays). It also conforms to all the safety standards for portable cribs.

It was simple to assemble, folds very flat, and can easily roll through doorways. The platform is easy to switch from the upper to the lower position (but this design makes it impossible to put a skirt on the crib unless you are able to sew your own with openings for the levers and the parts of the platform that protrude through the slats). Only one side goes up and down, and it does take two hands to do that... but at 5 feet 5 inches tall I can easily reach in and out without having to raise or lower the side.

It differs from a standard size crib mainly in that it is not as long, so I don't anticipate that our daughter will be able to climb out of it any earlier than she would a standard size crib. We also put my friends' two year old (who is at the 90th percentile for height) into this crib once, and he fit in it just fine.

Like other reviewers, we did buy a two inch portable crib mattress (38 x 24 inches) to replace the thinner mattress that came with the crib. We love the crib so much, however, that this extra expense was no big deal. Of note, two inches is the thickest mattress that is considered safe for this crib.

I don't think this crib would be practical for families looking for something to take in the car on trips, but it's great for those without room for the full-size version or who want something that can be set up and then stored away again quickly (i.e. at Grandma's house).

great small scale crib and doubles as changing table - Maisy, Jun 06, 2007

I was really impressed with the quality of this crib, and the price included the mattress! I didn't think the thin mattress was much of an issue, because the baby hardly weighs enough to sink down into a mattress; I much rather have a thin mattress that I can trust is safe and fits properly in the crib.

We haven't used the crib too much for our 3 month old, as she usually sleeps in bed with us, but she does nap in it and it's still a good size for her at 12.5 lbs. We do find the crib extremely handy as a changing table. We lay down a disposable paper mat on the bed during the day for changing purposes, and remove it when our baby naps. Because my husband and I are both 6' we used bed risers make it a more comfortable height for our backs. Plastic Bed Risers - Set of 4

I never would have imagined we'd get so much use out of the crib, especially considering the baby doesn't even sleep in it at night! It's been one of our best baby purchases yet.

old fashioned - I guess - momof9, May 10, 2007

I bought this crib because I had used the old wooden portable cribs. The crib is lovely, because it is wood but it is certainly not made like they used to be. My children range from newborn to 18, so I thought I would be able to store it for grandchildren one day. The plastic holding up the side totally ruins the crib. Why would they put such a cheap part on a wooden crib, which is priced similiar to full size cribs? Call me old-fashioned, but bring back the metal latches, they lasted for ever. I'm already telling my children not to keep putting the sides up and down and certainly my three yr. old can't stand on the side.
