Genuinely asking! My MIL wants to gift us with the nestig because she said it’s something that will grow with us. I already purchased a bassinet long before she offered, so I don’t really have a need for the mini crib. Before she offered, I also had a crib with built in storage picked out that converts to a toddler bed and then to a twin size bed. So I mean, it would still grow with us and it’s half the price? I guess I’m not understanding why it’s so revolutionary that the nestig is a 3-in-1 as I see a ton of convertible cribs on the market?

I also think the wheels would be super nice to have if I lived in a ranch style home, but my house is multi leveled and has a bunch of steps. I’m sure I’d still get /some/ use out of it, but not in any impactful way.

I don’t know. A gift is a gift (not to mention the nestig IS beautiful) and I should be grateful, but I was happy with the crib we picked out! We tried to talk to my MIL* about it to weigh out the pros and cons, but we had to end the call short because she started crying and asked, “you guys don’t like the crib I picked out?” That really rubbed me the wrong way so Idk maybe I’m being a little resistant to the crib out of principle. Someone tell me if it’s actually all that and/or if I’m being stubborn!

*My MIL is a beautiful, sweet lady that I love a lot. She has always been a big sensitive softy that cries often, but she had a TBI a year ago and it’s gotten a lot worse. It’s hard for us to know what will set her off and i think we just caught her at a bad time when we called to discuss this.
