Convertible Cribs Demystified
As a new parent, you have been tasked with the purchase of the duty of finding a safe place for your newborn. Although the least expensive cribs sold fall into the $100 range, you may consider that convertible cribs offer more value, and are simply a better deal than economical cribs. The reason for this is because 2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1, and other convertible cribs save you money down the road. You won’t need to buy a toddler bed when baby starts to be too big for a crib because most convertible cribs can be converted to toddler beds.
Convertible Crib Glossary and Features :
- Height Adjustable:
- The mattress support on some cribs is height adjustable. Immobile newborns do not need deep crib walls around them, as they cannot yet crawl, and easy access to a sleeping newborn can make things a lot easier. Look for cribs with this function.
- Toddler Bed:
- A toddler bed is the same footprint of a crib, however it allows a toddler to get into and out of their bed by themselves. Most toddler beds come with a safety rail which stops the toddler from rolling out of bed in their sleep.
- Toddler Day Bed:
- A toddler day bed, or sometimes called a “day bed” is not the same size as a regular day bed. In the context of convertible cribs, it is usually a toddler bed without the safety rail. It is a good intermediary between a full size bed and a toddler bed.
- Full size bed:
- Sometimes called a Double Bed, A full size bed is exactly what you would expect. It uses a full size bed mattress (sold separately)
- Guard Rail:
- A guard rail stops a child from rolling off a toddler or other bed. This sometimes is the difference between a 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 crib
- Bed Rails:
- Bed rails convert a crib’s sides into headboard and foot board for a double/full size bed. These are typically sold separately. Products are discontinued by manufactures from time to time, cribs are no exception to this; The best time to purchase rails is when the crib is purchased as it can save you lots of time down the road. These are typically less than $100, and required to transform the crib into a full size bed.
- Finish:
- The Cribs finish is the color or tone, if you are looking for a particular look to go with the theme of a nursery, like espresso convertible cribs, check out the color options in the left navigation bar.
