Cribs can come in different designs and sizes and their features may differ significantly based on what you're looking for. The slats' types, overall dimensions and mattress heights can all affect how easy a crib is to operate and the length of time it lasts. Some cribs have conversion options to allow you to make them into a mini-best crib, travel crib or even a toddler daybed.

There are many options for cribs, and although they all conform to federal safety guidelines, they vary in terms of design and construction as well as overall function. The type of slats used and the mattress's height and other factors all affect the ease with which you can use the crib and how long you can use it for.
A few of the cribs in this review offer the possibility of converting into a daybed or toddler bed such as the Babyletto Hudson 4-in-1 and Delta Children Tribeca. However, the majority of cribs require an additional purchase to complete this conversion. This is a major disadvantage if you're planning to use the conversion kit, but nevertheless want an affordable crib that can last for several kids and beyond.
The Storkcraft Equinox has one of the tiniest sitting mattress heights in our test, which can be a good thing for those who are small or have a petite parent. But the low height can also be a disadvantage, especially when your tot begins to pull herself up and crawling out of her best crib newborn. It also has a more elevated profile than other minimal cribs in the review, which could make it difficult to reach your child at the night.
