I don't have one made from Baby Crib...but I do have one made from the side rails of an iron day bed! sorry no pics....but it looks great! No it dosent't move like a gate...it's an "illusion" gate I guess you'd say....it is suspended over iron rods driven into the ground and sightly adjar....with (hopefully someday, if it ever grows enough)it will send many wonderful years supporting a primitive pink running rose. my HD dug up it out of a bank for me along the side of an old one lane road! That one lane road is now two lanes leading into a $200-$300 hundred thousand dollar home subdivision and the roses are long gone..

This is just one more crib recall, last year something like 3 major companies had recalls, and at least one in 2007. It's scary when you think of how many cribs are out there and people don't know about the hazards. You may do a search to find out which companys have recalled cribs. This problem was pointed out to me by my DDIL and DS since they are expecting a son in March. Sue

Depends on the child. 2 of ours at 18mo, 2 at 13 months due to a new baby needing it! A matress on the floor can be used if falling out of bed (or being big enough to get in and out) is an issue. Big beds are about consistency with staying in them to sleep- we sat in the room near the door until child feel asleep for the younger ones, the older ones were big enough we could tuck them in and leave. Then my aunt had one in a crib at 3 yrs- as petite as my kids, 22lbs? Because hey, why have them wander around/wreak havoc if they are happy and safe (cannot climb out) in the crib! ROTFL

Girl or boy or .... and any specific look that you're going for? I just did this a couple of years ago, so here's what I learned ... avoid placing the crib on a window wall if at all possible due to curtains and cords (I'll spare you the gory Google details - cords can be super dangerous as your bub gets more curious and starts pulling on EVERYTHING around - they can actually strangle/hang themselves on drapery cords - I read that it happens around once a month on average actually - scary). Invest in black out shades or curtains ASAP. Everyone is different, but our daughter slept in her Snoo in our room for six months - after that, I was really ready for her to be in her own space! Decorating above/behind the crib - we used vinyl decals we got from Etsy (that looked like a giant Tetris game - super colorful) - there are tons of options to choose from, and although they can be removed, I've found dexterity limitations for the average toddler prevent this from being a significant issue (I have a master explorer/mischief maker, and she's removed zero decals so far - fingers crossed). This allowed us to avoid hanging anything near her crib (both to avoid the aforementioned pulling issue and because we're in earthquake country). I got a felt ball mobile, so in the off-chance that it does fall into her crib, the damage is hopefully minimal. Our rocker is right beside the crib - you want it pretty close so that you can quickly transition that sleepy kid into the crib. About a year into this thing that will be crucial to your sanity. And as much as I agree with @anj_p on the rug issue (cleanliness/maintenance), you'll need something under the rocker so that it's not loud on your floors. The table and chairs are super cute, but honestly, you won't really need them for at least a year (maybe longer). As ugly as those foam playmats are, you'll get way more mileage out of something like that so that you can do tummy time and play time. One safe option for infusing something cool in the minefield of safety hazards that is a baby's room ... lighting. It looks like you only have can lights from the picture. Are you able to add a cool light fixture? Not directly above the crib - just to add a little something to the center of the room? Those closets are going to be awesome for gear, toy and clothing storage. Good luck and congratulations!
