A: Although you can’t see the hardware in the online image, it’s not hidden and is visible in person. Thanks for the question!

A: Well, first off, since babies love to chew on cribs, the Jenny Lind comes with a phthalates-free teething rail that protects the crib and your baby from each other. But even if your child does find a nice, uncovered piece of crib to gnaw on, not to worry: the paint is non-toxic. For further peace of mind, you should also know that this crib not only exceeds JPMA standards, it also goes through annual paint tests.

A: This classic crib is a true, stark white and has a matching changing table. The Jenny Lind-Style Changing Table (http://www.giggle.com/p/19876/Jenny-Lind-Style-Changing-Table.aspx?cc=AA&s=1&keyword=jenny+lind) will pair perfectly with the crib and looks adorable with storage bins.

A: The classic Jenny Lind Crib is manufactured in Taiwan.

A: Sure! Since the Jenny Lind is a standard-size crib (30” x 54”), any standard-size crib mattress or bedding will work. The only mattress that won’t fit are the custom mattresses made for mini cribs or oval cribs.

We have three great organic mattresses to choose from: the Coco Mat Organic Crib Mattress, the OMI Latex Mattress, and the OMI Organic Cotton and Wool Mattress, which is the one our founder, Ali Wing, chose for her son. There are plenty of great organic sheet sets to choose from. We absolutey adore the George Crib Set and the Celestial Parade Crib Set, which are both made from organic cotton and would match beautifully with the Jenny Lind Crib. And of course the giggle Better Basics Fitted Crib Sheet is a healthy and affordable baby basic.

A: Transitioning this crib to toddler bed is as easy as 1-2-3! First, make sure your mattress is at the lowest setting. Then, simply remove the adjustable front rail and attach the conversion kit. Yes, the Jenny Lind-Style Conversion Kit (http://www.giggle.com/p/19879/Jenny-Lind-Style-Toddler-Bed-Conversion-Kit.aspx) is sold separately for eighty dollars. What a deal!

The assembly for this crib is super easy, taking no long than 45 munutes. The conversion kit comes as one piece that you just simply screw on to the crib. Easy huh?!

A: Unfortunately, the Jenny Lind-Style Crib can’t be used as a co-sleeper, because there’s no way to actually attach the crib to your bed, and co-sleepers need to be secured to prevent any risk of your baby falling in between the two. You can remove the crib’s rail when you're ready to transition to a toddler bed, but otherwise, it should stay attached until that point.

There are two forms of co-sleepers: side sleepers (which sounds like what you're referring to), which attach to the side of your bed with safety mounts and straps. Or sleepers that allow you to keep your baby in the bed with you, such as the Supreme Snuggle Nest <http://www.giggle.com/p/24920/Supreme-Snuggle-Nest.aspx), which is designed with sturdy support walls so you can't accidentally roll over onto your baby. Both are great options for keeping your baby close during those early months!

A: Yes, the instructions are very clear, and this is one of our easiest crib's to assemble. It will take the average parent about 30-40 minutes to assemble this crib. The more people you have help, the quicker the job will get done!
