I went with this solid wood crib from IKEA and stained it myself. Looks great pretty darn cheap and easy to break down and store. Can also convert to a trundle style and double as the child’s first real bed so it gets several years of use.

My wife got one of those boxes from a places that gives them out for free but the kid out grows it fast and it is hell on your back since it is really unsafe to leave it on a table or dresser where it could be easily knocked off. Now it collects dust and junk and I can’t get her to dispose of it.

That ikea crib is perfectly executed- I couldn’t come up with a good reason to pay more for something

Ikea, indeed. We had what was called Gulliver at the time. Relatively cheap, adjustable (higher for first 6 or so months, then lower, and finally one side removable to make it a toddler bed).

One thing we learned is that babies are constantly on the move, even when swaddled, always find ways to tip things over, roll off sofas and chairs, ... and puke over anything and everything.

Well, we love them!
