We gave our crib away about three years ago. So, I've been looking at cribs whenever we happen to be in a store that has one. Not that I have the intention of buying one right away, but still... It's fun to look.
The problem with most of the ones I've seen that were somewhat reasonably priced is that they just don't look sturdy to me. There's not a whole lot of foundation for the mattress to rest on, plus all of the latches are plastic. They just look like they wouldn't hold well, or they'd be prone to splitting/breaking/whatever. The lady in the store was just bragging on how much easier they are to let the side up and down. I couldn't even find the mechanism for that. I know how much Jonathan loved his crib, and how much he jumped in it, and how long he stayed in it. I just don't know that I'd trust one of these to last that long.
Does anyone have one of these that has the plstic latches and things? Are they really OK?

Maybe google it and see if you can find a site that has reviews for it?
