Manufacturers optimistic

摘要

In 2007, crib sales in the United States hit an estimated $1 billion and are expected to grow to $1.26 billion by 2012, according to research from Easy Analytic Software Inc. Given those numbers, the future looks steady for those who manufacture cribs as well as nursery case goods, glider rockers and crib mattresses. Even in an economic downturn, many expecting parents still need to visit stores or Web sites to outfit their nursery.rnKelly Kuch, marketing executive with Baby's Dream, said that sales have grown during the past year due in part to the success of its Cocoon brand, which launched in fall 2006.
