The best-rated baby cribs must have the “whole package”. First and most important, they must be safe and meet all the required safety standards.

But in my opinion, cribs need a beautiful design with lots of additional features to be on the top.

Best rated convertible baby cribs

The convertible crib grows with your child and can be even a lifetime crib, that’s why this type of baby crib is such a popular choice for so many parents.

In our research, we reviewed numerous cribs and interviewed a lot of parents who already have a convertible crib. We found out that parents often not read accurately what certain convertible crib can offer to them!

There are many things you need to consider:

1. You see, the number tells you how many conversions certain crib has, but not what types of bigger beds you actually get. For instance, a 3-in-1 convertible crib is a crib that converts into two bigger beds. But it is not necessary all models will convert into a toddler bed and daybed.

There are other options too:

  • crib → daybed → full-size bed
  • crib → toddler bed → full-size bed

2. Also, it is not necessary you will get a toddler safety guardrail beside the crib. Some toddler beds even don’t have it.
And don’t forget that you have to buy a conversion kit and a bigger mattress for all models with a full-size bed on the market!

3. Definitely included safety guardrail is not the main feature that classifies a certain model among the best convertible cribs on the market. However, on our list of the best convertible cribs, all models have it in the package. And that’s great!

We made our research based on an opinion of hundreds of parents and our huge personal research. If some crib was liked by the parents because of the look and comfort but doesn’t comply with all safety requirements, we didn’t put it on a list!

Also, it has a metal spring platform, which allows the “breathing” of the mattress. With its versatility, safety and 4-level mattress support is a good choice for any young parent.

Good night sleep is essential for you and your baby, so it is important to choose the crib that suits all your family needs!

  1. It’s best to plan ahead! I hope while you are reading this, you are not a few days before the due date. Yes, we have done the research for you, and our suggestions are a good and safe choice. But delivery could take a few days or even weeks, and you need to assemble the crib too.
  2. Measure the available space you have for the crib and set up your price range. Then check up thoroughly, if the crib you picked, corresponds to these two parameters.

What To Look For When Buying a Crib?

Best rated cribs exceed all required safety standards!

The best baby cribs meet or even exceed required safety standards!

Strict safety standards help ensure new cribs suit all the demands. It is significant to choose a safe baby crib because while sleeping, it will be the only time, you will leave your baby unattended. The best-rated cribs meet all Safety Standards For New Cribs, otherwise, we would not put them on the list!

Available space

It is important to measure the area for the crib. You don’t want to buy the crib that won’t fit in your baby’s nursery or in any other room you intend to place it.

Write the measurements down. Before you read all the information about the certain crib you like, check if the measurements correspond to the room you have selected for it. If you are short on space, with checking the measurement, you can narrow down the number of cribs you can choose for. Don’t worry, there is a lot of good and safe cribs for small spaces on the market.

Establish your price range

Before you start shopping, it’s good to decide how much you want to spend on a baby crib. Try to stick to the budget, as it is easy to get carried away. Of course, you want the best for your baby, but keep in mind: more expensive, does not necessarily mean better!

Style and type of the crib

Determinate the style and type of the crib, that suits the best to your needs. Today manufacturers make a wide range of different crib types and styles, that are designed to fit all your family needs.
