Where to buy a good crib for a reasonable price

[16Cha]

Hi

Our daughter is slowly growing out of her bassinet and we need to buy her a crib.

Where did you buy yours and/or where to find a cheaper crib but still safe for our baby.

Thank you ! I live in Eastern Canada.

Cheapest place would be second hand on usedeverywhere or craigslist or kajiji, you can look up past recalls on cribs i remember reading that all drop sided cribs were recalled BUT with a simple call you can order a piece that will prevent the side from dropping

Be careful about buying used as there are so many recalls on cribs.

i got mine off of kijiji and it has served me well. when you research just make sure the make and model hasnt been recalled.

i am fairly certain mine is a custom one, but it was in perfect shape, thick hardwood, and carved something beautiful, came with a like new mattress and only cost me $75. i couldnt have been happier

We got ours from IKEA and it converts into a toddler bed. Absolutely love it!

3-1 From walmart. Waited for a sale, got the crib and matress brand new for $165 after taxes

We special ordered ours from walmart.com in the US and then did the free ship to store option and drove down to get it. We opted for the 3-in-1 model and a princess matress. All in all it was about $150 for everything.

Walmart in Canada sometimes have really good sales too. Or kijiji is a great place too! When we were in AB, I needed a crib/mattress that day so I had to buy from WM. I ended up selling the crib/mattress less than 2 months later for half the cost (and threw in a bunch of toys too) to someone from kijiji because we had to get back to ON. It pays to check out used options sometimes!

We picked out a more expensive model from Sears that is a 3-in-1 as well, but we got ours given to us at our baby shower. DH's family all chipped in to buy it for us.

I would really advise against getting a used crib. If even one little bolt or screw is missing it could pose a safety hazard. If you do decide to go that route, make sure you check all the product recalls, have a good look at it before handing over the money and I would suggest getting a new mattress because the last thing you want to deal with when raising a baby is a bedbug infestation!

Thanks everyone for your inputs ! We finally got one on sale at Walmart (3 in 1)for a very good price. Now we are going to look for a good mattress and we will be good to go ! I am excited to see her in a big girl crib
