Cribs
A crib is the centerpiece of the nursery, the item around which other decor revolves. A quality crib can last through multiple children, so make the investment once and plan to spend $600 or more for a well-constructed, enviro-friendly model with a lasting finish. Look for a "convertible" model designed to convert to a toddler bed. Make sure a gently used crib offered by family or friends meets the Consumer Product Safety Commission standards.

With its revolutionary oval shape, the Stokke Sleepi is the perfect centerpiece for the modern nursery. The 'System' offers a variety of conversion options from bassinet to crib to toddler bed and a changing table option. Each convertible feature adds to the price -roughly, the bassinet adds $280, the junior bed adds $380 and the changing table adds $500 to the basic crib. We suggest starting with the crib and bassinet ('System I') -a junior bed conversion kit can be purchased later on if you plan to stay with the system. Some merchants include the System I mattresses in the set and others require a separate purchase. CSN Baby offers free delivery or, for $150, will send a 'white glove' delivery service to set up the crib in your home (select 'Platinum' package).

Modern but not trendy, ecofriendly but without the insane price tag, the Sparrow is a standout choice for the modern nursery. Exclusive to Giggle.

A sleigh crib is a classic, beautiful choice that fits equally well in a girl's or boy's room (think future siblings). The Pottery Barn Kids Fixed Gate Sleigh Crib is also a good value, although the toddler conversion kit is sold separately.
