Crib Recall

I see there is a big recall on drop side cribs out now. Alan never had one. I remember when we looked at them in stores, we'd rattle the sides and they seemed loose. I figured if the store had them loose, how would we do?

We ended up with the Ikea Narvik Crib. No drop sides, the high setting was pretty high (and I'm 5' 1.5"). Now, I'm glad we did.

I wish we'd saved our money and never bought a crib. My kids would never sleep in one. They slept in a bassinet for a bit but usually just ended up with us. Ben had to sleep in a carseat because of reflux. Ugh. I'm kind of a fan of the port-a-crib thing at this point. And the dressers we bought were solid so the kids could never pull the drawers out so we didn't end up using them for anything but storage, plastic bins would have been cheaper.
