There are different kinds of convertible cribs available for parents to choose from. They come in various models, colors, and sizes. Because of the variables involved in choosing the right crib for baby, it helps to know what types of convertible cribs are available in order to make an informed buying decision.
First, you have the 4-in-1 convertible crib, which is the most popular style. Purchasing a 4-in-1 crib is like purchasing four different units for the price of one, because this one single unit can be transformed into a daybed, a toddler bed, and later, a full-size bed, adapting to your child's different growth phases.
To convert a 4-in-1 to a toddler bed, a custom rail will be needed, which is meant to keep your child from falling off the toddler bed. Depending on the chosen crib, this custom rail may or may not be included in the original purchase. Also, the custom rails required to transform the crib into a full-size bed are almost always a separate purchase.
The multiple configurations of a 4-in-1 crib appeal to many parents who want to stick to a budget when decorating a nursery. Because this crib can be transformed to adapt to a child's different growth phases - babyhood, toddlerhood, early childhood - it is therefore a cost-effective choice. This simply means that mom and dad can save a lot of money by not having to buy multiple bed units for their child for years to come as the child grows.
Next is the 3-in-1 convertible crib. This is the kind that can be converted to either a toddler bed or a daybed, but not a full-size bed. Just like the 4-in-1, converting a 3-in-1 crib to a toddler bed requires a rail specifically designed for the toddler bed. This custom rail may or may not be bundled with the original crib purchase, depending on the manufacturer or retailer.
A third type of convertible crib is the 2-in-1 convertible mini crib. Though smaller in size than the regular-sized cribs, it is still a "smart" crib that can easily be transformed into a twin-size bed. Its smaller dimensions appeal to moms and dads who are in search of a crib that's just the right size for a relatively small space.
No matter what convertible crib you choose to buy, you won't go wrong with your choice as long as you pick one that meets federal safety standards, is priced right, and suits your needs and tastes. Reading crib reviews on available models can also help you make the right buying decision.
