I needed a crib not only to be safe and suitable for my 6mth old grandson but suitable for me and my lifestyle. This crib was PERFECT for both. I opted for a crib rather than a pack'n play because I wanted something more sturdy and longer lasting for when he gets older and heavier. The height adjustment is wonderful as it doubles as a bassinet and then lowers for when he starts to sit, stand and pull himself up. This crib is quick and easy to assemble, and easy to fold up and put away if I ever have guests stay over night. I also like that it's not a full size crib (perfect for smaller rooms and condos) it fits in any where, and I like the 1" mattress which is firm enough so he can't sink in (all babies like firm mattresses, they feel secure) I also purchased a 3" mattress for when he gets a little older. His mother could never understand why he would sleep at my place but not so much at home and I told her babies like to be wrapped and feel secure). This crib is roomy enough for him to move around but also cozy enough for him to feel safe and secure (not like the bigger cribs). I also purchased a breathable crib surround, not only is it safer than those padded ones (smothering) but it keeps his arms and legs from going through the slats if he moves around when he's asleep. HE LOVES HIS CRIB! I'm sure this crib will last him until he's about 2 1/2-3yo which is fantastic. Buy one, you won't be sorry :)"..." Read more
