Cribs come in a variety of designs and sizes. The features of a crib can differ based on what you are looking for. The slats' types as well as the dimensions of the mattress and overall dimensions can all impact the ease of a crib to operate and the length of time it lasts. Some cribs have conversion options so that you can use them as an infant crib, a travel bed or even a toddler daybed.

The crib is constructed of durable New Zealand pine with non-toxic paint and is compliant with all safety standards.

It is compatible with a standard crib mattress that is available in a majority of stores. It also works well with other nursery furnishings.
While all cribs follow strict safety guidelines set by the federal government however, there is a lot of choices in terms of design, construction and overall function. The type of slats utilized and the mattress's height and other factors all affect how easy it is to use a crib and the length of time you can use it.
Certain cribs, such as the Babyletto Hudson 4 in 1 and Delta Children Tribeca, can be transformed into a daybed or toddler bed. Most require an additional purchase to complete the conversion. This is a major disadvantage if you're planning to use the conversion kit, but still want a crib that lasts through several children and beyond.
The Storkcraft Equinox is one of the lowest-sitting mattress heights we've looked at, which could be beneficial if you are short or have a parent with a smaller size. However, the low height could be a problem particularly when your child starts pulling herself up and climbing out of her crib. It also has a taller profile than other minimal cribs in the review, which could make it harder to reach your child during the night.
