Putting Together Baby Furniture Reviews

Due to my husband's impatience with putting together furniture with terrible instructions, I am the one who puts furniture together.  My husband will help me and be there to tighten things as need be, but I am the main one who reads the instructions.

So my review of putting things together for the baby.


The crib-  Storkcraft Libby Crib
 I started to put it together myself.  Ended up calling hubby for help as I could not hold the pieces together and put the screws into it.  Overall the instructions were not too bad, but it was quite time consuming to put together.  I think it took roughly 2 hrs to finish.  It was what I expected.  It is not a 4 in 1 crib, but since we are planning as having more than one baby I didn't want a convertible crib.  It has 3 heights you can adjust the crib to.  It also has a teething rail on the side.  Overall a good solid basic crib.

The change table- Storkcraft Libby Change Table
Was really easy to put together after the crib was done.  I was able to do this myself and the instructions were rather straightforward.  I think it took me about 45 minutes tops to put together.  It is very light weight.  It has a safety strap as well.  It doesn't offer tons of storage, but again I was looking for basics.  My MIL bought me an organizer which I attached to the side so that adds on storage.

Stroller- Graco ALANO Flipit in Hathway ( Travel System)
Was fairly easy to put together.  I did make a mistake, but it was fairly easy to fix.  The instructions were not too bad, but were mostly pictures so it did take a bit of figuring out.  It seems to be a good stroller.  It is pretty cool that the handle flips back and forth.

Bouncy Seat-  Took maybe 20 minutes to put together.  The instructions were very straightforward.  It was all things that snapped together, so it could be taken back apart of storage if need be.

Swing- I put together the swing in about 30 minutes. Same company as the bouncy seat and the instructions were very easy to follow.  The instructions included both pictures and words which for me is a good thing. It mostly snapped together, except for the bars of the sear which were screwed onto the side side arms.   It is very low to the ground though so if you had a large dog it might not be the best.  I am not too worried about the cat bothering the baby in it.  When I was done putting it together, the cat tried to get in it, but since it is a swing the cat couldn't get in.

It is very portable.  It folds up very easily for storage.  The seat folds up and the legs can be brought together.
