What kind of crib to use?

Steve and Lish's Family
Some moms use the type of crib that converts to a toddler bed, and say it's more stable since it's designed to work with only three sides. We use an ordinary CHEAP crib we bought on clearance and it has worked great for us and there aren't any stability problems. So most likely any crib will do, ofcourse double check the stabilty of your arrangement, regardless of what type of crib you use, before you put your baby in it.
