A co-worker of mine has her crib for sale (a good deal and in very good shape). I remember that there were some threads on the old board about how exactly to set up a crib beside the big bed, but I can't remember what those solutions were.
Our bed (top of mattress) is 26" from the floor. The crib has a setting that would put the crib mattress at 26.5", which would work. The only problem is that the crib rail that lowers only goes to 35" from the floor at the top of the rail. This would mean that there is a big 7-9" "wall" between me and baby, which really isn't the point!
Do you take the rail right off the crib? Is the crib still stable enough with one rail missing? I could always take the wheels off the crib, which would buy me about another 2".
I would appreciate any solutions! I liked the ideas in the recent thread about the gap between the bed and the crib, but this problem is a little different.
