We ended up going with the Babyletto Hudson. I have had my eye on that crib since before we started TTC and we just had to snag it at that great price! I appreciate all of your input! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549387 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:20:57 +0000 shopaholic 549387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Oh yay! That's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549337 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:41:19 +0000 lawbee11 549337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Yes! So sorry I forgot to message you back--thanks so much for the info! They matched the 20% Amazon Mom discount on the Cruz! Plus free shipping and no tax = major score!! It was really quick and easy, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549314 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:35:27 +0000 shopaholic 549314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Seriously! Shipping and/or moving stuff is such a PITA, my DH will always be willing to pay a little more for delivery! </p> <p>P.S. Did you get my message on the UBV? I hope they worked out a deal for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549276 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:19:32 +0000 Mrsbells 549276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I choose the baby mod. Its mid range, not to cheap and not too expensive and i like the look of it too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549275 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:18:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 549275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE the look of babyletto - so pretty!! And furniture would be easy to match: it could be brown wood or white! Given the price too I'd snatch it up.</p> <p>I have the modena and really like it - it has a small footprint which leaves more room for other stuff in his room. So I like that one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549245 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:03:21 +0000 JamieLee 549245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would vote for the Babyletto. I don't like the solid ends on the other two, and the Ikea crib uses fiberboard, which isn't high quality. The main thing we're looking for in a crib is no MDF, no veneer. My hubby is a builder and this was very important to him! </p> <p>Plus, with the free mattress, you're saving $100 so it's not really that much of a price difference once you buy a mattress for either of the other two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549237 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:58:23 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 549237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say number 3 because it's cute, plus with the mattress included the price is comprable to the others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549220 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:52:55 +0000 LAGS 549220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have #2 in white and love it. As far as value for money goes, I think it's a really good pick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549204 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:47:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 549204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2</p> <p>Babyaletto Hudson reminds me too much of the Oeuf Sparrow without the solid ends-the feature besides the legs which really make that crib wonderful. </p> <p>My vote is for the Baby Mod Moderna. There's something about the crate-like solid ends that draws me into the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549157 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:35:25 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 549157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove #3 (regardless of price!).<br /> It's $100 more BUT you'll pay $100 for the mattress anyways so really it is 199.00<br /> and free shipping. to your home...that's a lot different then picking it up from the back of a walmart, getting it into your car and into your house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549128 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:25:55 +0000 .twist. 549128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Number 3! Free mattress! can't go wrong. I love the crib too. </p> <p>They're all really nice though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549114 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:22:39 +0000 plantains 549114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Number 3! I have a Babyletto Modo and it has been my fave baby purchase so far. Sturdy and absolutely stunning. People are constantly asking us where we got it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549106 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:20:28 +0000 Sammyfab 549106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the look of the Hudson and I think it's an awesome deal with the free mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549105 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:20:23 +0000 mlm2934 549105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I want to revise my vote to #3 haha didn't see that mattress was included :) :) and now I want the white one too haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549101 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:18:53 +0000 avivoca 549101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Crib #2. It's so pretty and kind of rustic looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549099 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:18:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 549099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you should get the one you love (#3). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549090 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:15:18 +0000 lawbee11 549090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I know, I like that they would deliver #3 to our door. Picking big stuff up like that is always a hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549020 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:51:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 549020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I am not sure if the slats is a major issue. You could always just run the bumper around the outside of the crib on the front and back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549017 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:50:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 549017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally I vote for the cheapest crib. </p> <p>But I think the Amazon one looks the best and most mattresses run around $100 so its not that far off in price if its discounted and you get a free mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549011 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:49:30 +0000 lawbee11 549011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Good point about the slats!</p> <p>@mrs. bird: Haha I had a feeling you would pick #3 :)</p> <p>@lemondrop: All 3 can convert into toddler beds. None of them convert into full/queen beds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-549008 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:48:57 +0000 shopaholic 549008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd vote 3, 2, 1 as well! The Amazon deal with the mattress seems like a great deal and the free shipping discount is great! I like the 2nd one was well, but it seems like you'd spend almost as much as the Babyletto with the mattress and you'd have to deal with picking it up from the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548990 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:43:35 +0000 lemondrop 548990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My deciding factor with cribs was how you could make them function once the baby is bigger- do they turn into toddler beds or can they be converted into full our queen beds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548971 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:39:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 548971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the IKEA one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548943 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:30:48 +0000 knittylady 548943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm such a sucker for the babyletto. I think it's just so beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548938 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:29:08 +0000 AprilK 548938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a previous version of the Baby Mod and love it but that price and mattress option on the Babyletto are awesome! I would be inclined to do that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548934 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:28:19 +0000 mrs. bird 548934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you know which one i would pick ;) i loooove number 3! i figure once you take into account the free mattress &amp; not having to drive to pick it up, 2 &amp; 3 are basically equal price wise. i like the look of 3, the two tone makes it a bit more interesting for me and i think the white rails make it look more open and bright, the legs are so cool and with a higher list price it might be worth more when you go to sell it after you're done with it (if that's something you plan on doing). </p> <p>if $$ was the main concern, i'd go with #1, but i think #3 is awesome and would totally pick it for myself =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548916 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:20:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 548916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, I'm jealous that you have it narrowed down to three already. We just looked in Buy Buy Baby this weekend and I found out we have different styles in cribs :( I like the same type you have-- lower, no raised back, but DH doesn't like it. </p> <p>I like the look of 2 the best, but I wonder if 3 is higher quality? Also getting a free mattress seems like it would bring the price to close to what 2 is. I like 2 and 3 and am not voting because I can't decide. </p> <p>I was not a fan of the Gulliver in the store, but I think it was just a really poorly put together sample. However, I can't get it out of my head, so I don't like it as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548911 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:17:41 +0000 MsLipGloss 548911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rank them 3, 1, 2. I only prefer 3 because of the open sides, and I like the look of 1 overall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-crib-would-you-choose#post-548904 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:13:13 +0000 mlm2934 548904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for the ikea crib, even though #3 is gorgeous!! I'm just not willing to pay over $150 on a crib. Especially when I do genuinely like the clean lines look of the ikea cribs. (Planning to get the ikea white gulliver) </p>
