Our trip this weekend took us through Harrisburg PA, where there’s a Babies R Us. We figured rather than take a side trip to the one in Syracuse, we’d just stop at this one along the way.
We’re pretty sure we’ve decided on a crib (thanks, Mom and Dad!): it’s by Babi Italia and the model is called Pinehurst. For whatever reason, this crib isn’t listed on the Babies R Us website, but I copied it from the Babi Italia site:
We thought it was among the more sturdy models shown in the store, and we really liked the looks of it — not too simple, not too ornate, nice finish, and suitable for boys or girls.
If we get a crib like this, that isn’t convertible to a real bed, then we think maybe we should get a changing table instead of a dresser. Dressers are a lot more expensive, and we’d rather buy a dresser to match the kid’s bed when the time comes. Babi Italia doesn’t make a matching changing table, but who cares? We’ll just look for one that is close in color.
Then again, just looking online, the dressers at the Babies R Us website are much less expensive than the ones they had in the stores. Who knows…
