Furniture

Entering into my third trimester, there's so much to think about!  My main concern lately: the crib.  In 2009, the Consumer Safety Board recalled 2.1 million Stork Craft drop-down side cribs, the largest number in history because at least four infants died in them!  Although the cribs' movable side rails make it easier for parents to lift their children out, the drop-down sides also resulted in dozens of babies either becoming entrapped between the side and the crib frame, or falling out of the crib altogether. 

In December 2010, the Consumer Product Safety Commission unanimously voted to outlaw the cribs, after the death of more than 30 infants and toddlers in the past decade.  The ban is to take effect in June 2011 and will require all cribs to have fixed sides

Thankfully I did my research!  I just purchased the #1 consumer rated crib!  Booya.

We only have 3 more months.  I hope everything gets done in time!  Stay tuned, I'll post pictures once we put the crib together. 

Other recent purchases include a ceiling fan and our new "rocking chair" a.k.a. jumbo recliner!

  2. I have been looking at the same exact crib! Great minds think alike. I agree, baby gear shopping is overwhelming...I just started to research stuff last week and am stressed about making sure I buy all the right stuff. Happy crib building!
