What's wrong with drop sided cribs? Ours is, although its got metal drop thingys, not plastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449367 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:48:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 449367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call me crazy but I wouldn't! I was offered a crib that was about $25 and it was fixed drop side and I wouldn't take it. A crib is something I wanted new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449357 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:37:59 +0000 Sweet T 449357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see a problem with it at all. I wouldn't be comfortable using one long-term but wouldn't mind using it for a visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449350 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:25:46 +0000 allison 449350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: the only reason we decided to fix the side is because the latches on it are plastic and were bent weirdly (from being in storage), so they didn't seem very stable. If that wasn't the case, we'd be using the drop side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449347 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:23:10 +0000 allison 449347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Million Dollar Baby hand-me-down drop-side crib. I went on their website and registered for a (free) conversion kit, which had two metal brackets and some screws, and instructions on how to fix the drop-side. </p> <p>I don't see how a crib with a "fixed" drop side is any less safe than a regular crib. They all just have screws holding the whole bed together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449336 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:01:45 +0000 Weagle 449336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what my LO sleeps in. It's actually the same crib I slept in as a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449169 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:56:26 +0000 sarac 449169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the brief time that my girl slept in a crib, she slept in one with a drop side that we'd zip tied up. No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-449007 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:27:16 +0000 Adira 449007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I slept in drop side cribs that were bungee-corded not to go down, haha. So I probably wouldn't have a problem letting my LO sleep in a fixed drop side crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448956 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:08:44 +0000 prettylizy 448956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have any problem at all. My FIL just put a giant screw through the sliding rails so that it would slide anymore. Bueno! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448942 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:06:32 +0000 Bao 448942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was fixed and LO was only going in it a few nights, then yes. For use everyday, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448938 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:05:28 +0000 birdofafeather 448938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, we're doing this with our crib that was given to us by friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448629 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:44:54 +0000 Mrsbells 448629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldnt. Because I dont know who fixed it and how good of a job they did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448628 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:44:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 448628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um... I'll probably get some heat for this, but DD sleeps in a drop side crib that isn't fixed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448627 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:44:22 +0000 lemondrop 448627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, at my IL's, it felt perfectly sturdy when I tested it.<br /> We were also sleeping in the same room, so that made it a non-issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448625 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:43:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 448625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially if its just for short term use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448545 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:05:48 +0000 loveisstrange 448545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're visiting my parents right now and they got a fixed drop-side. It's not been an issue for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448541 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:04:51 +0000 Smurfette 448541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were given a drop side crib but I think that we are going to order a new one. I will just feel better, peace of mind is worth the cost. Plus the hardware is missing, hassle to get new ones. I also just want one knowing it will convert to a toddle bed and then a full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448537 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:03:27 +0000 winniebee 448537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, esp. if she's not standing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448534 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:02:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 448534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, this is what LMW is in and will be in until WJ goes to a twin sized bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448530 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:01:05 +0000 autumnlove 448530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I probably would if my LO wasn't standing yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-put-your-baby-in-a-fixed-drop-side-crib#post-448528 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:00:27 +0000 mediagirl 448528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you were visiting someone who had a drop side crib that had been "fixed" so the sides can't come down, would you let your lo sleep in it? </p>
