The Crib

After a long time of looking for cribs we have finally chosen "the one"-- The Modo 3 in 1 by Babyletto in Espresso color. I'd like to thank my in-laws for buying our baby such a nice gift.

 I have to give a shout-out to the site babyearth.com. for having some gorgeous eco-friendly products. We were really torn between this crib and the Eicho Crib by Spot on Square (I am lusting over it still), but went with the Modo because it was Espresso (we can't paint our off-white colored walls), it becomes a toddler bed, and it was much cheaper but still sleek.

I am very happy with our choice. It was easy to assemble ( it took my handy husband less than 30 minutes) and it looks perfect in our daughter's room.

Although my husband and I are all for buying and re-vamping old furniture we really wanted a new crib for our baby. There are always so many recalls and with baby items we feel you can never be too safe. Today I looked at some of the cribs that have been recalled and I hope yours isn't one of them. The link below is the 2010 list of recalls provided by CBS news, and the government's crib standards for 2011.
