Crib Notes: Stokke

In case you weren't "in the know," crib season is nearly upon us, and in honor of such a cozy time of year I thought I'd blog about one of the coolest cribs on the market: the Stokke Sleepi Crib.

This crib got a lot of attention when the Jolie-Pitts revealed that it was the crib they chose for baby Shiloh. Danielle at Celebrity-Babies.com blogged about it in the summer of 2006 when the news broke. And I must say, Brad and Angelina have very good taste.

The Sleepi Crib is oval shaped, which Stokke believes is a more comforting shape for sleeping babies because it mimics the shape of a mother's womb. You can purchase it on its own or as a part of one of Stokke's Sleepi Systems. The Sleepi Systems include conversion accessories so you can make your oval crib a round bassinet, a toddler bed, a junior bed, or even two chairs! The design of the crib is very clever and guarantees that your child will be able to use it in some capacity for years to come.

I can't resist mentioning that Stokke has some gorgeous crib bedding as well (thank goodness, since there's not a lot of oval crib bedding options out there). I love love love the Tales Collection (shown here). So cute! So whimsical! So chic!

Stay tuned for more crib blogs in the coming weeks as Crib Season kicks into high gear. And while you wait, browse the incredible crib selection at CSN Baby.

Happy New Year!
