What to Look for In a Good Crib
My hubby was more excited than I had been after we found out that I was pregnant. We began considering the most valuable options of the best cribs available for sale. We read reviews of various kinds of cribs and visited the display rooms to obtain a personal look at the items. My hubby particularly got infatuated by a certain collection belonging to the Graco brand – the Graco Somerset Convertible Crib. He stated the colour (we had bought the color in Espresso) was classic and stylish.
The crib was delivered a couple of weeks before I gave birth to our darling baby. My husband wasted no time in putting up the crib. The traditional raised panel and its simple line make the Graco Somerset Convertible Crib a refreshing sight in the nursery.
I could have easily set the crib up myself with or without my husband’s help. The crib is a real bargain and the great thing about it is that it doesn’t look cheap even though it is extremely affordable. It does not shake or make a creaking sound because of its sturdiness and durability. The rails are not too wide which means my baby won’t get his head stuck in between.
What impressed us the most were the safety features of the crib set such as the stationary side rails and the metal mattress frame with its three-height adjustment. Then the durability and functionality which will adjust as our child grows will truly make our choice an investment. Its 4-in-1 feature converts from a crib to a toddler bed that needs no guard rail for conversion, to a daybed and then to a full size headboard with footboard.
We got a five-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects along with a seal of safety and standards from the ASTM International, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), and also the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This really is normal with most Graco baby cribs.
The user manual also included tips on how to care for the crib. Most Graco cribs require a non-abrasive cleaner. Just mix a solution of water with a small amount of a good dish-washing liquid and a soft cloth to wipe the dirt with. That is all that is required to clean surface of the crib.
By chance, you may have already read a few reviews where the customers say that it would have been a really good bonus if the mattress was included with the package. A standard crib mattress is recommended for this particular crib. All in all, my husband and I had been more than happy with our intended choice out of all the best cribs available out there.
