My mom wants to buy a new crib for DD to keep at her house. I have an old copy of Baby Consumer Reports (2004), with a list of the 'best' cribs, but I am concerned that it is outdated info..
Anyone have any resources for places to find more up to date info? Or recommendations for good brands?

TIA!!!

For Grandma's house, I think they recommend the Delta Jenny Lind crib at around $99. We got this for our main crib for DS and it's held up fine. Easy to put together, etc. The finish is a little spotty, but not something I'd worry about for a secondary crib. I just bought a Renew crib at JCpenny for $200 and am very happy with it. Looks much nicer in terms of the finish.
