Babble Best Cribs - IKEA Gulliver

ikea’s gulliver is one of the most popular cribs around. its highly rated for safety, has clean lines, works in many different styles of rooms, and its only $139! i chose it for all of the above reasons

babyletto also makes very cute cribs that are under $500. Babyletto | Modern Cribs, Nursery Gliders, Baby Furniture Collections

the baby mod line by walmart is super cute too and affordable and runs in the $200-$300 range as well. baby mod - Walmart.com
this was my first choice based on the looks but they don’t carry this line in canada. boo! maybe for #2 i’ll make the trip to the US and grab it from there.

otherwise, i LOVE the oeuf line of cribs, and the more modern acrylic ones but those are all $800-$2000.

walmart’s look nice too.
i like ikea’s sundvick i think, loving the style of it but this im talking about online, haven’t seen instore.

I thought about buying the ikea crib but when my son was born in 2011, Ikea US wasn’t carrying any cribs due to safety recalls so they brought them back a few months later (in December) after meeting the safety requirements (I have no idea what it was but all of a sudden, they all disappeared).. so I never got a chance to look at them or test them in toddlers room.

We ended up purchasing a crib during babies r us gigantic sale (they run them couple of times a year) and bought this one for $110 Rivington 4-in-1 Crib with Toddler Rails - Cherry - DaVinci - Babies “R” Us (they sent mattress as a courtesy too since I had to make a few phones calls to get the crib)

I have to admit the color wasn’t my favorite when we received it but it grew on me later.. we changed it into toddler bed for couple of weeks but my son didn’t like it so we switched him to twin bed and decided to keep the crib for second baby.. it’s in perfect shape except some teeth mark here and there that is of no issue! so yep 2+ years and still going strong, will definitely last us through couple of babies

if you keep checking babies r us, you will find good deals, just a few weeks ago they were selling $500 cribs for $100 but of course they probably only had 10 of them on sale so people who got to see it first were able to buy it (I found out through baby forums)

Rest, sgc gave you good advice and options.

wow,babies r us at that price is amazing, i’ve been looking and everything seems to be very pricey at babies r us. So, i decided to go for ikea. but then again i’ll keep looking as you said, might find something good at babies r us.

We had the BabyMod Cadence and bought it from Walmart.It was I think around $230 and that included the mattress (some deal going on at that time).

Been using it for almost 4 years.,first as a crib and now as a toddler bed.It has been going great.It is sturdy and well made and we also just have teeth marks on it,otherwise it has never had any issues.

This crib at walmart looks so nice, i guess for now im love with it. And it has good reviews too.

@Lusi

We got the crib and the mattress from target, crib was available only online but had great reviews. We have been using it for 17 months now. When we were moving last May, the movers decided to unessamble the crib which was not a good move at their part. When the driver was putting the crib together, they couldn’t quite tighten up the screws of the front panel, not sure what they did. We just ended up tightening it with a strip of fabric on both ends.
