If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
That will be used a few times a year - would you get a really good one - or go for the cheapest?
Does it mean that it's bad - when it's cheap? I'm not being stupid - just wondering if the less expensive ones meet the criteria.

Re: If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
I would spend $200-$300. I would still want a good crib even though it might not be used so often. Plus maybe your cousin's little one's could get use out of it if they ever visit.

If its a new crib it should still meet all the safety criteria, even if its cheap. I wouldn't get an expensive one.

My cousins are all done having babies - - this would be used only by Jack and any future babes we may have!

Wow - really?
Well, considering the ONLY store around their house in Walmart - that's where I'll be doing my shopping!

Re: If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
Oh, let me know what you wind up buying. We're looking to buy a crib for MIL's house , but DD will be using it a lot since she watches DD 3 times a week, we want something affordable but still good quality.
You must be so excited for your trip

Walmart had like 2 or 3 cribs...one for $100, one for 150 and one for 250. They looked OK, definately doable for a vacation home. We were looking for my mom's weekend house. We ended up getting a toddler bed for $50 and I am really surprised at how well made it is!

Re: If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
Why cant you use a Pack and play?
If its only gonna be used for like 3 times a year and hes gonna be out of it within 2 yrs? For 6 weeks max of use, seems like a lot of money to spend?
What about those mini cribs they have...I forgot who sells them now of course!

Re: If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
When we had DD, my parents (who live out of state) bought a crib for $100 at Walmart. It's great for when we visit! With the bumpers, we never have any problems. My dad puts it together when we are coming & dismantles it after we leave. It's perfect!

Re: If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
As long as it is made well / safe I would go for a cheap one or one moderately price with hopes you will def use it again in the future.

BC right now he plays in the pack and play, and I don't want to screw up his sleeping. I don't rock him anymore - he goes in awake - and may think it's still "playtime"
We are going to be there a few times a year - and he's not going to be my only child so I think it's a good investment. Walmart has them for so cheap that I'll be able to get the crib and mattress for under 200.

I agree with this. And if you plan on having more kids, then it'll most def be worth it!

Re: If you were buying a crib for a vacation home
My crib cost $50 and it's just as safe as a $500 one  I would stick to a cheap one, they all are required to meet the same safety standards.
