Budget Nursery 2.0

I realized in my last post, I got pretty Ikea focused.... and not everyone has easy access to Ikea. And though online ordering is an option depending on the item, paying for shipping would basically make the whole budget goal, pointless. So I reassessed my original nursery list, left some of the original items, and switched out the Ikea items to make this list a little more universally accessible. So here we go, Budget Nursery 2.0:

A) The highly rated, Union 4-in-1 Convertible Crib comes in 5 colors and converts to a toddler bed.

Dream On Me Spring Crib Mattress  is also highly rated, and a practical, very inexpensive option to go along with your crib.

B) As of today, this Rocking chair has ZERO verified reviews, so it may be a bit of a risk, not only for that reason, but it looks like this will be shipped from overseas, so it could take a while to arrive. THAT being said, I still thought it worth listing, because it's extremely difficult to find a non- hideous, or at least more modern glider or rocker for under 100, and THIS price INCLUDES the shipping cost. It comes in several colors AND has an adjustable foot rest. You may find this SoBuy Relaxing Lounge Rocker  worth a chance despite the lack of reviews thus far.

C) Among baby changing pads, one of the more affordable options is the Summer Infant Changing Pad which converts any dresser to a changing table, which 1) eliminates the need for purchasing a separate changing table and 2) your child will eventually need a dresser anyway so there's no need to waste the money on changing table at all.

D) A Foldable Pop Up Hamper is a great solution to having an affordable place were all your little one's puked on, and peed in clothing can be tossed into. I personally don't want to spend a lot on something getting this much abuse. Plus it comes in several different colors and is easy to transport. I'm pretty sure you can also find these at many dollar stores as well.

E) No need to spend almost 200 bucks on cute crib bedding! This is just two pieces of the NoJo Twinkle Twinkle 4- Piece Crib Set. The comforter reverses with yellow and white stripes, an this comes with reversable bumpers and a crib skirt as well. The set is currently listed at Walmart for only 39.98, and definitely worth checking out. If you don't like this budget friendly option, there are several other selections close to this price range to choose from.

F) One item that serves double duty: a dresser that is the same height as a standard changing table, which again, along with a pad, eliminates the need for  purchasing a separate changing table, and provides you with a piece of furniture that you'll keep using long after your little one is out of diapers. This Stork Craft Kenton Universal Dresser is a great option. It's  cute, it has decent amazon reviews, and it's only 150 bucks (but looks worth  a lot more).

G) You can make a regular garbage pale work for you, but nothing quite keeps out the stink like and actual Diaper Pail. Especially if you find one under 20 bucks. Hello Safety First Easy Saver Diaper Pail!
