I have been offered cribs by 3 different people, but since this is my first
baby and more importantly., my inlaws bought brand new cribs for each of
their first 2 grandkids (this will be their 3rd), I didn;t see any reason to
use my sister-in-law's. I figure, why not pick out the very one I want? If
they were not buying it for me- I would be using someone else's.

I also got a hand-me-down crib that I love. And I loved not having to
shop for one - I'm easily overwhelmed by too many options. Picking from
3 offers would be perfect for me.

So if I were you, I'd take a hand-me-down crib, and ask the in-laws for
a glider rocker instead - I think they're the absolute greatest. (Or
whatever other big expense you might have in mind - a dresser/changing
table maybe?)
