So.......
I noticed a recall on Simplicity cribs with the tubular bottom frame, it could buckle, bend, or break away. Which happens to be the kind of crib we have. I knew there were other recalls on the crib because of the drop rail not being safe, but we choose just to face that side next to the wall. I thought at first we might be able to just deal with the possible problem, and pray nothing goes wrong, but there is always that thought in your head, let's be safe and not sorry later. I called up Target where we bought the crib years ago when Saffron was a baby. Come to find out the Simplicity Co. is out of business and that there are recalls on all their cribs for one reason or another (I guess I can see why the company went out of business!) So, after being told I would have no problem getting the crib returned and getting a credit, I disassembled the crib, loaded up the kids, and off to Target we went. I already had the crib in mind I wanted to purchase, which was great since the snow was not too far off.
Everyone at the store was more than helpful in helping us unload the old crib from the car, and the new one in. It was somewhat of a pain putting it together with the kids around, but I managed. And as I write this, I can hear Sebastian snoring on the monitor, so I know he's taking to his new crib very well!
So what started out as a freaky (scary) situation, it worked out even better in the end.
Our new sleigh crib!
After spending all morning putting this together, I came to realize how much better it is than the old one we had. Maybe it's because the other one was a drop rail, and doing that everyday, it wore out the crib in itself, making it less durable. This crib is so solid! I love it......
"Bye old crib............"
"Hello new crib....."
"New is good.....thanks mom!"
"This crib seems harder to climb out of....hum.........now what??"
Of course Sebastian had to Christen the crib......
"Okay people.......everyone out, I need to check this out......Yawn......."
