Baby Gear: The Crib

Everytime we travel with Lucie and Ryan, the blog goes unattended. You can imagine the backlog that awaits our return with a load of laundry being generated for every day we're gone. But we'll get everyone caught up on the all latest developments quickly.

Back to the business at hand, Lucie and Ryan are now enjoying long nights and naps in their brand-new Sorelle Lana Crib. After some false starts and flat tires, we bought the crib a few weeks ago at our local USA Baby store. After a mere four hours and several curses later (why or why must everything require a 2'' long Allen wrench?), I had the crib at home and assembled.

Crib selection is largely a function of individual taste, but we recommend buying one with a sliding drawer underneath. The drawer can be opened and closed with one foot and is remarkably convenient. For multiples, the ability to lower one side is effectively useless since it makes too much noise. Of course, being parents of twins, we bought two cribs but we'll get to that challenge in a later post.
