Portacribs

I am looking for a portacrib other than the typical pack-n-play types. Does anyone know whether there is something out there that isn't so low to the floor? I find my 7 month old son doesn't sleep well in these things. Any suggestions?

Hi!

Thanks for using our message boards.

Delta and Evenflo both make small wooden cribs that can easily be folded down. They make a great second crib for grandma's house and they look like a regular wooden crib, just smaller. We've seen them in Babies R Us for about $100.

Hope that helps,

I'm interested in getting a crib for my mother's house (she'll be watching the baby 2-3 days a week and sometimes overnight). She doesn't really want to get a full-size crib, but is concerned that the baby will outgrow these smaller cribs a lot sooner.

Does anyone know the size/weight limit on these smaller cribs that are at Babies 'r Us (or elsewhere)?

Thanks!

I finally settled on the Delta Porta Crib to use at my mother's house. It sells for $99 in most stores.

Here is the info that I found on it:
Size: 39 in. width x 25 in. depth x 41.5 in. height. Mattress included. Converts to bassinet in seconds. Side rail slides up and down for convenient access to change baby. Folds flat in a minute for travelling and storage. Natural finish.WEIGHT MAX IS 31 LBS.

Hope this helps.
