just purchased the parker from mean ol’walmart.. yeah unions and their leadership are angels in wolves clothing.. they are so transparent and honest… promising pensions that put corporations out of business.. keep blaming the corporations.. onward state run everything! onward 60+% taxes and hopefully lines for state run handouts!

btw the baby loves the crib and mattress from the evil corp. who woulda guessed!

victims…victims were all victims!

In today’s economy it is not easy to even run out to the stores we once viewed as typical and affordable. Since a lot of us redecorate often and people change motifs as often as clothes – It is even more economical to shop slightly used. You would be surprised. People move, yada yada… I bought a wonderful Convertable crib Brand New on Craigslist.com!! I purchased the new convertable crib, that will grow with my baby into a full bed from grandparents who barely saw their grandchild due to geographics. I was lucky enough to find a wonderful modern style that was never used!!

For parents or parents to be either wal-mart or target, the important thing in choosing baby furnitures such as baby beddings or convertible cribs is to have a larger, with removable sides, so they can be converted into some combination of toddler bed, daybed or headboard and footboard for a full-sized bed. A good value choice, since crib beds have a longer life-span.

i agree that wal-mart has very questionable business ethics; however, that bedding is gorgeous (though i wonder if it’d hold up?). i also love target, but more for everything else BUT furniture (too many putting-it-together-myself nightmares!) my personal favorite web site for baby bedding and furniture is heaven’s gate home and garden. they have a nice assortment of serena & lily stuff: http://store.heavensgatehomeandgarden.com/kselithpicrb.html

Wow, Denise, that’s good to know. So far our crib is holding up well.

I bought the crib and changing table after reading the blog. The crib is great (although a little hard to put together). The changing table is horrible! One of the drawers completely fell apart after only two months of use. Definitely don’t buy the changing table! I’m trying to figure out who to call for a new drawer right now!!! I’ll probably have to buy a whole other piece. My advice is to spend the money and buy better quality!

A little delayed for this conversation perhaps, but I am loving some of the new baby items. They have a ways to go to get away from the completely baby pink and blue items that are not that cute, but they are making the attempt.

As for the conversation about Wal-Mart itself. My fiancee is a Wal-Mart employee. He makes enough money (he’s not a manager of any sorts, just a regular worker), to support himself and me just fine. In fact he makes enough that we are going to have a baby soon and feel very comfortable in the fact that it will have all it needs on his salary. So don’t believe all you hear.

I love how AJ says corporate America is evil….if it wasn’t for corporations that can mass produce goods how would any of us have the things in our lives that we take for granted, like automobiles, appliances, computers, phones, etc, etc….there is no “mom & pop” stores that could turn out any of these goods on such a large scale so that they were affordable. Furthermore, last time I checked, Wal-mart is NOT a concentration camp. Nobody is holding a gun to any of the employees and forcing them to work there. If the conditions of employment are so terrible, let those employees go elsewhere to work….or perhaps use it as motivation to get a college education and start businesses of their own.

Sorry just to add.. Its also called the Roxanne. And unforunately the only matching piece is the changing table which only has three drawers.. I’m very curious to hear the quality difference of both items.. But i included the link to the Minitots similar model

Also, Da Vinci makes a model very similar to the Roxanne if you can’t get over the two tone styling. Its about the same price after shipping and sold exclusively from Minitots.com They have a great sale right now where the crib is about $200 and the changing table combo is $99 but you’ll make up for the savings in shipping!! Also you can find money saving coupon codes online for this site
