In searching for a used crib, you have to ask ALL the right questions to make sure you are getting a crib that is SAFE. When I emailed people about their used cribs on Craigslist, I asked a TON of questions and probably left most of them thinking I was a psycho. But, I prefer to be labeled as such over running the risk of putting my baby in a questionable crib.
Questions to ask when buying a used crib:
What brand?
What model number?
What year?
If people didn't have these answers, I did not even CONSIDER buying the crib -even if the crib looked like a reputable brand/model from the picture. If I didn't know for sure, I considered it to be dangerous.
I took this information and Googled the absolute snot out of the crib. Many didn't make the cut and it took me months to finally find a crib that I thought was a good value AND safe.
I ended up purchasing a Da Vinci Emily II in white.
So this is my crib:
This is the crib new in the store:
Used: $100.00
Savings: $109.00
