Babi Italia Eastside Convertible Crib Review:
I got this as the second crib once my twin boys started rolling over in their sleep and needed their own space. There are so many cribs too pick from at the store but when I saw this one which was on sale at the time I couldn’t resist to get it for Dylan. First things first, you will need a truck to get this home if you buy it at a store, I had my 2008 Honda CRV and had to take everything out of the box to make it fit and it barley made it. Thanks to the nice guy at Babies R Us who helped me unpack it and load it into my car, I got it home safe and sound. This is really a crib for life in my opinion, I can see it being more appealing to an older kid than a younger one. Now when I look at it I hope my son likes it when he hits 3 or 4 years old because its not as cool as a race car crib or bunk beds for both the boys. Either way I’m sure he will love it no matter what. The crib is made from real cherry wood and its built real sturdy, its probably one of the most solid pieces of furniture in my house. The stain on it is amazing, it really has a modern dark cherry look without too much red. Putting this crib together will take a little time, it wasn’t the hardest to build I just had to follow the instructions which are pretty good. You will also need a helper when you put it together to hold up some parts while you tighten down the screws. If you purchase this crib remember it wont fit through a bedroom door so if you build it in your bedroom and plan to move it later you will have to take it apart and put it back together to move it. The adjustable spring the mattress sits on is great, it has three settings to allow you to adjust the height of the mattress. The one thing about the adjustable spring frame I had problems with is I tried to put it all the way down and it took me over one hour to get almost all the screws to line up properly and in the end one of them didn’t even fit in right. Even with this screw alignment issue it still works fine for me and my son. Because the frame is thick and sturdy most bumper pads wont have strings long enough to fit around the corner posts, I had to tie extra strings on to my bumper pad to make it work. This crib is absolutely beautiful, built of solid cherry wood and I think it will last until my son goes to college. Babies R Us sells these online or in their stores. In my review picture (the one with my sons bum showing) the crib has a Disney vintage 4 piece crib set you can read my review on that here
