crib mattress issue

So, we have our crib and a crib mattress. Problem, naturally. Seems our crib (which is very pretty and I *love*) only has one level for the crib mattress. I guess lots have two levels, and you start in the higher position and then lower it when the kid gets older and wants to climb out. Well, our crib only *has* the lower position. With the crib mattress in, it is kinda deep/low. I'm picturing lots of back issues in getting the girl out of the crib in the early months........ was back at the store and looked at the floor model, and they have TWO mattresses, one on top of the other, to raise up the crib bottom. We could do that, but is there a safety concern with doing so? I'd much rather trade back aches for safety concerns, but does anyone know if it *is* a safety concern? The crib mattresses all seem to be standard size, so fit pretty snuggly against the crib, but is there still a risk? Thanks in advance! Yellowgirl i have nothing to add except ditto on what everyone else said. I cringe when you need to change the crib sheet ... what a PITA ... the bumper is in the way ... oh, so annoying... when the kids spit up early on, we were chanign it all the time ... then we got smart and put a towel underneath them (per the docs suggestion) so we just pull out the towel and put a new one down instead of changin the sheet ... i'm sure the double mattress is fine ... if your child has the amazing ability to get between two mattress, you have a super hero on your hands! caba |

The baby rolling *under* the top mattress to squish between the pair of mattresses? Nah, I can't think of any reason why putting 2 mattresses in a crib that you described to bring the height up, OTHER than the fact that you'll need to buy 2 mattresses (if you don't already have a spare) and I know crib mattresses *can* get expensive... And for something you won't be using forever, or probably not even for the entire duration you actually use the crib. To solve this problem, for me, I think I would see if I could borrow a second mattress from someone if they are not currently needing it. Or, if you would just rather, 2 mattresses should be just fine, and it doesn't matter if you have to buy 2 of them or not! |

ToysRuS has VERY inexpensive crib mattresses, the lowest price starts at, like, $35, I think. I never spent too much on crib mattresses, myself, as if you weigh less than 40lbs, you hardly need much support. So buying $70-100 worth of mattresses wouldn't be an issue. I know that some people tend to spend more, but you certainly don't need to, especially not for a second mattress underneath the first! -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys -- 01/03/03 Addison Grace -- 09/30/04 Check out the family! -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password |
