I wish this was my ChildCraft model, so maybe I could get a new one. I hate our ChildCraft crib! The dropside is really loose and doesn't stay up all the way, it kind of slides down on one side. I think it is from moving it around, but hey, it has wheels, I would think it is meant to be moved. Wish I had bought one of those fancy pricey cribs!

I don't know what would happen, but you may want to report your concern to Child Craft. If it sounds like a similar issue to this one, they may want to take care of it for you anyway. Just a thought.

Yes, I've been thinking about contacting them. I keep thinking we can somehow tighten it up, but we have tried. It just seems rickety to me.
