Simplicity for Children Aspen 4-in-1 Deluxe Crib Review

Simplicity made some cribs for Graco also, so this crib can be found under the Simplicy name only, or also called "Graco by Simplicity", but they are the exact same design. This crib was horrible. The metal brackets that were supposed to hold up the slide down rail constantly broke, and the side would fall down on it's own. I had order more repair parts over and over, but they constantly broke, sometimes instantly. My son fell out of the crib when the side fell down on its own, at nine months. This was in 2004. I notified Simplicy, and they were aware that it was a mass problem, but did nothing to notify the FTC to begin a recall. I notified the FTC, who then began the recall process--but Simplicy only notified them of the cribs they made for themselves alone, and not the ones they made for Graco with the same design flaw. So, beware! They are hard to deal with, can't be trusted, and it may put your child's safety in jeopardy...and this crib is still in circulation. My son ended up sleeping in a pack-n-play. We bought a more expensive crib for our daughter (399) due in August 08, and I have NO problems like I did with Simplicity. If we had purchased this crib to begin with, we would have spent less money and would have had a crib to put her in already.
