We have an 18 month old, and will have another little one in about two months and are considering mini cribs. Does anyone know how long, (i.e. how tall a baby, how heavy,) the mini cribs can accomodate? I've had a hard time finding the info online.

Our goal would be to keep our first son in a crib as long as possible, then transition him to a larger bed and swap his brother into the larger crib. I read a lot on this board about parents who swear by keeping toddlers in their cribs as long as they'll tolerate it, and it sounds like a plan. We could always buy a crib if the mini crib doesn't work out, but I'm a penny pincher ;)

thanks so much!

ETA: Mini crib owners, did you buy a separate mattress to go with your mini crib, and if so, what mini crib do you have and what size/mfr mattress did you buy?
