We have a queen size bed in our baby's nursery so I wanted just a small crib. Because it's easily movable, she started out in our room, then we easily rolled it over to her room after the first week. I was worried that our daughter would outgrow this crib quickly, but now at 4 months, she still fits just fine. Some cons: You will have to purchase a mattress to go with it. It has a strong new furniture smell to it right out of the box so purchase months in advance to air it out. Crib sheets are harder to find.
