Re: Cribs.....

I read this in good housekeeping today and I thought it was interesting,

In 2002, more than 11,000 infants were injured in crib accidents, often caused by loose screws or slats. Although new cribs must meet federal safety standards, manufacturers are not mandated to follow stricter voluntary guidelines from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), a trade group. Only 18 out of 65 manufacturers submit their cribs for testing under JPMA's rigorous program.

When shopping for a crib, Good Housekeeping says: Look for the JPMA sticker. Brands that have passed both the federal and voluntary standards include Delta, Evenflo and Simmons.

Here is mine (I hope this works!)

We just ordered it this weekend.

Re: Cribs.....

We just ordered our crib yesterday from JCPenny. We got the same crib as Kate but in natural finish. We also ordered an armoire, hutch changing table thingy and the bedding from them. This week was free shipping so we are having everything delivered to JCPenny's homestore in lakegrove with no shipping charges. If you check out their website the bedding is the hearst bedding set. It's lavendar and pink. We are even thinking of painting the nursery the same way the picture shows it. I'd post the pic, but I don't know how and I have to leave for work in about fifteen minutes and I haven't even finished getting ready. Thank you so much for all your help on this thread. We looked in Behr's, BBB and BRU and decided on JCpennys because of you girls. So Thanks again!!
