You can't beat the price and they're super soft.</p> <p>The thing with the Gulliver is that once you lower the crib to the second setting, you can't really use the skirt any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-200091 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 12:48:52 +0000 pastemoo 200091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I just tailored some regular bedding... then you still have all the options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-200057 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 11:30:16 +0000 MaisyMay 200057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: The Gulliver is the "full size" that we are considering. @rachiecakes: I'm okay with non-fancy bedding. Which one did you go with? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-200033 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 10:27:18 +0000 rachiecakes 200033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mini crib!<br /> We live in a small townhouse in Boston and for now DS is in our room. The only complaint I have is that there are zero choices for cute bedding unless you want to spend a fortune and most have to be ordered online.<br /> It's very sturdy, has the same look as a full size crib and converts into a twin bed, (and I liked that option better than the full size crib converting into a queen bed.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-199904 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:35:01 +0000 looch 199904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the IKEA Gulliver and it's small compared to most other standard cribs. My son is 18 months and he fits in it just fine. I didn't want something that we would convert to a toddler or larger bed, though. I just wanted a standard crib and we'll do something else for his big boy room/bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-199898 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:13:11 +0000 pastemoo 199898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have one. LO is only 1 month, but I could sleep on a standard crib mattress, why does a baby need such a big crib? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-199896 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:02:43 +0000 SAHM0811 199896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first DD was in one... only til 9 months though. She was/is above average height for her age though and moves around a lot in her sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-199889 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:04:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 199889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>one of charlie's classmates used one up til she was 2! but she was a little thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mini-cribs#post-199886 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 23:53:54 +0000 MaisyMay 199886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did any of you look into a mini-crib? I love the size of them, but worry that after a few months LO would need something bigger. I've been pretty set on an Ikea crib, but saw a few mini cribs at Babys-R-Us, and have been curious since. </p> <p>Have you heard any complaints or loves about them? </p>
