Recommendations for a crib please?

Looking at cribs with storage underneath and seems a nifty feature to me. Any reason against buying one like that?

You'll never use the under storage. The drawers look pretty small and can't think what you'd have to have under there.

But biggest reason is this: opening and closing drawers makes noise... Which is something you'll become hypersensitive too. With a sleeping baby in the crib, I wouldn't open that drawer to save my life. And my baby sleeps pretty deeply. Still wouldn't risk it.

Recommend a crib with strong bars and a good top that locks.

Depends on your needs and available space. We have the storage in our changing table, so went with a fairly classic convertible crib from Ikea. Meets our needs and looks fine. We weren't looking for anything too fancy, as it will only be used a year or two.

Highly recommend Craigslist here, the $1000 pottery Barn cribs are easy to find in perfect condition for less than $200

And how important is convertibility to toddler and full size bed?
Seems logical purchase but not sure if people actually end up using it as a full size bed (especially when we plan to have at least one more kid)

One downside for the understorage version... there will be a time when you are doing everything possible to keep your child from need the toddler conversion / toddler bed. One of those steps is lowering he mattress to the ground to make it harder to climb out. For that reason, I advise against.

Toddler conversion is not necessary.. it’s nice, but for the price you could buy a toddler bed

We bought the crazy expensive crib with Italian wood. Kid slept with us. I second the ikea crib idea. Safe, sturdy, simple. You’ll only use for about two years then get a bigger bed

Ok so in short, it seems like the group recommends I get a simple but safe crib (ikea/graco) without worrying about convertibility or drawers

Yep, sounds about right.

We purchased ours at buybuy baby + toddler/full conversion kits and changing table for 1200

Check consumer reports please. Davinci on Amazon is highly recommended

Appreciate any advice.

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).
