What a beautiful crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67252 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:01:19 +0000 Boogs 67252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've actually seen some that have more of a dip than that. As a 5 foot tall person, I now wish I had gotten a crib with a dip. I'm unfortunately on my tip toes when I put my LO in his crib ever since we lowered the mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67244 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:43:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 67244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ah, i see. thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67159 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:52:10 +0000 tequiero21 67159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i figured the "dip" was because the front is suppposed to be a "footboard"... when you convert it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67135 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:10:15 +0000 MegWag 67135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd assume that the tiny dip doesn't really make that much difference. It only looks big because the back "headboard" part is so raised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67128 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:45:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 67128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh good point! I didn't think of that (doh). Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67114 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:28:01 +0000 heffalump 67114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they have to dip so you can easily put the baby in and out of the crib. You can lower the mattress when they get older so they can't get out so easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-cribs#post-67111 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:25:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 67111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So ILs graciously offered to buy us a crib at Babies R Us (no cost limit!) because they purchased BIL's crib for his baby. </p> <p>However, they said they need to buy it by February 20th (when I will be 9 weeks). Annoying, but I guess if they're paying, whatever. I'll just make sure they hang on to the receipt.</p> <p>Anyway..I was at BRU last night browsing the cribs, and there are some beautiful ones! The thing that makes me wonder, though, are the dips in the front rail. Does that give a baby less height to scale when they want to escape? Or is the lowest point as high as some other cribs? I hope that makes sense.</p> <p>Example: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4466026" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4466026</a> </p>
