WOW that's crazy. Is that from babies r us online? I am surprised that their cribs are that expensive in store. Well...no maybe I'm not, they are rather expensive there. We actually found our crib at walmart, it's very well made and has all the functions that we were looking for. I haven't even looked at babies r us for anything, since I know they are expensive. Could you get something else with that gift certificate and buy the crib elsewhere?
