I think it's funny how some of the comments seem judgmental. To each their own… every family has different space issues, sleep issues, preferences and budgets so there could never be one solution that is right for everyone. For me, the crib was really the unnecessary piece of furniture. I bought one while pregnant thinking I needed it. However, it was recalled when my daughter was a few months old. Rather than replace it she slept in a play yard next to my bed until she was about a year old. Once she was a year, my husband made a toddler size bed for her (using the mattress we already had) and she loves it. I think she’ll use it for a few years. We enjoy the extra space we get with a smaller bed (more room for play), and my daughter loves feeling enclosed in a smaller space.
