The best combo cribs with under crib storage drawer

Convertible crib and changer with under-crib storage drawer

… is a crib with the most storage space you can get.

Who doesn’t need additional storage for all baby belongings? I do and probably you too. When I was pregnant, I decided I will pick baby things carefully and rationally. And I did. Well, at least I tried.

No matter how much you tried, in the end, you have a house full of baby belongings. So my advice to you – think ahead. And baby cribs with build under crib storage drawer are the best start to increase the capacity of your storage space. Why? Because they take advantage of otherwise unutilized space under the baby crib. Instead of empty space below the crib, you get large under crib storage drawer, and this is great!

Under crib storage drawer

Picking a crib with an under-crib drawer has a lot of benefits. Extra storage is, of course, the most obvious. The next one, which is also very important to me, is that the drawer covers the space under the crib, so there is no room for dust accumulation. We all know how annoying it is to clean under beds.

Choosing a crib with under crib storage drawer also contributes to the crib’s stability. I am not claiming other cribs are not safe and stable, just that the underneath drawer makes the crib even more compact and sturdy.

If your crib doesn’t have a drawer, and you want to use an unutilized space under the crib efficiently, there are few other solutions, such as buying a crib trundle storage drawer or even make it on your own. Another solution is under crib storage baskets or bins.

If you want a crib with drawers, you can choose between three types:

1. a convertible crib with under crib drawer
2. a combo crib with drawers on its changer
3. a combo crib with additional under-crib storage drawer

All cribs on this list are great, but if I had to pick one of them, I would choose Storkcraft Steveston. I think it has the best value for the price, and I don’t care if it doesn’t have drawers on the changer. For me, the shelves are perfectly fine.

Well, Storkcraft Steveston is almost the same as Graco Solano, which is kind of expected, as both of them are manufactured by Storkcraft. The most significant difference between them is in the headboard design. While Storkcraft Steveston possesses a solid wood back panel, is Graco’s headboard more open, with a slated design.

Other than that, they are pretty much the same, but if you want to check-up their closer comparison, you can find it in our extended Storkcraft Steveston 4-in-1 convertible crib and changer review.

Convertibility Review:

Storkcraft Steveston is a 4-in-1 convertible crib, which can convert into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-sized adult bed.
Its toddler bed can be with or without a safety guardrail. So, you don’t need to pay anything for this conversion. However, if you don’t feel comfortable using it without toddler safety guardrail, you will have to pay an extra $50 to $60 for the rail.

The next conversion is a daybed, where you don’t have to buy anything. Set the mattress into the lowest position, and remove the toddler safety guardrail or front side of the crib, depending on which bed your child is currently sleeping.

In the last conversion, Storkcraft Steveston becomes a beautiful full-sized bed with headboard and footboard. But you will have to buy a full-size conversion kit, a metal frame, and a bigger mattress. Oh, and the best part? The changer is detachable and converts into a stand-alone matching nightstand.

Changing table:

As I already mention, Steveston’s changer possesses only shelves. It is located on the right side of the crib, and you can’t attach it to the other side.
It has enough space for everything you need to change the nappy comfortably. Shelves allow easy reach, so I can say the job is even easier as if it had drawers.
The changing table is attached to the unit until the last conversion into an adult bed, where it becomes a handy nightstand.

Under-crib storage drawer:

Storkcraft Steveston has a large drawer under the whole mattress’s ar1. It is divided into two equal parts, but you have to pul out the whole unit at once. 

Mattress:

Storkcraft Steveston is a full-size crib, so any new standard-size crib mattress fits into the crib. It has metal support, which is adjustable onto three levels. The ability to place the mattress into a higher position is excellent. You will reach out to your newborn much more comfortable, and your back will be grateful.

Steveston’s front rail is 34″ high, which is together with adjustable mattress support, perfect for short moms as well!

The verdict:

Storkcraft Steveston has a great value for the price. If you are on the market for a space-saving crib with ample storage, and you don’t bother that the changer has only shelves, you will love it!

The crib is a part of DaVinci Piedmont’s collection. The collection has two Piedmont cribs, this one, and the one without a changing table.

If you look at the reviews on Amazon, you will notice that this crib is rated with only 3.5 stars. So, why we’ve ranked it among the best combo cribs with an under-crib drawer? Not only that, we had even placed it in second place.

DaVinci Piedmont 4-in-1 convertible crib and changer is, in my opinion, a perfect example of how Amazon’s reviews can mislead customers. You may think that the product is better than the real thing, or as in this case, that it is worse than it really is. It is not the fault of Amazon, but of those who write the reviews.

Let me explain. DaVinci Piedmont combo crib with under crib drawer got several negative reviews as it doesn’t have a dropping side. The fact that it doesn’t have it is actually a plus, and it’s how it should be by the law! Because of a safety hazard, are drop-side cribs banned since 2011! If you have such a crib at home, do not use it! It is not worth the risk!

Anyway, some of those who already bought the DaVinci Piedmont convertible crib and changer didn’t know that, so they’ve rated it less than it deserves. The crib is great, with a lot of storage space! The only thing that could be better is the lack of different finishes. The crib is available in only two colors, white, and slate.

Convertibility Review:

DaVinci Piedmont is a 4-in-1 convertible crib, which converts into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size adult bed.

The best time for the conversion into a toddler bed is when your child begins to climb or reaches 35 inches, whichever comes first. The toddler bed conversion kit is, unfortunately, not included in the price. It will cost you a little less than $70, which is, compared to other brands, a reasonable price for a safety rail.

The second conversion is a daybed. This one doesn’t require any additional costs! Remove the crib’s front rail or toddled bed’s safety rail, place the mattress into the lower level, and you get a beautiful daybed.

The last conversion into a full-size bed needs a full-size conversion kit and a mattress. So, the same as on any convertible crib! In this conversion, a detachable changing table transit into a matching nightstand, which is excellent.

Changing table:

DaVinci Piedmont’s changing table is attached on the right side of the crib, which is the only attachment option. While it is attached to the Piedmont crib and throughout the first two conversions, it’s detachable in the last conversion into an adult bed. It becomes a matching nightstand, which is excellent.

The changing station sits on the top of a compact drawer and two spacious shelves. Piedmont’s changing table is, in my opinion, one of the best on the market. It is sturdy, long-lasting, and well-built, with an included changing pad, and a lot of storage space compared to similar ones.

Under-crib storage drawer:

Piedmont’s under-crib drawer occupies the entire surface under the mattress’s area. It has pre-installed euro-metal glides, and it’s divided into two equal parts.

My only remark regards the aesthetic appearance from the side. The drawer’s side walls have a natural wood finish. On the left, where there is no changer, this might be noticeable. Of course, that depends on the position of the crib in your home. Also, it’s noticeable only from a greater distance where you can see under the crib from the side.

Mattress:

DaVinci Piedmont possesses four-level mattress support, which is the most that such a crib can have. The mattress sits on a metal spring base, which enables better air circulation throughout the mattress.

Piedmont is a full-size crib, so you can choose any standard-size crib mattress.

The verdict:

DaVinci Piedmont convertible crib and changer, belong to the middle price range compared to similar cribs. I think it is worth of money! The crib offers a lot of different features and grows nicely with your child. It is durable, compact, safe, and certainly worth your attention.

Athena Daphne convertible crib & changer Review

Specifications:

• Assembled dimensions: 72″ long × 29″ width × 45″ high
• Assembled weight: 118 lbs
• Available finishes: White & Cherry
• Compatible crib mattress size: standard size crib mattress

• The size of a changing table: 28″L x 17″W x 29″H
• Changing pad: not included
• A fitting changing pad: 27,5″L x 15,5″W x 1″H

Athena Daphne is a well-built, compact, and durable combo crib. Its biggest benefit is a large number of quality made drawers.

The Athena Daphne possesses three smaller drawers on the changing table, and two large units under the whole mattress’s area. You won’t get a crib with more drawers! The only one who can compete with Athena in this category is Gaco Remi 4-in-1 convertible crib with a changer. 

However, these are two completely different cribs in terms of design. While Athena Daphne possesses a classic, slightly antique appearance, is Graco Remi a modern combo crib with curvy lines.

Convertibility Review:

The Athena Daphne combo crib is convertible and grows with your child. It converts into a daybed and youth bed. You can remove the crib’s front rail and transform the crib into a daybed without any additional purchase. But you will have to buy a youth bed conversion kit and a youth mattress for the last conversion. That’s the same for all convertible cribs, so I don’t see a problem here.

The great thing about the last Athena Daphne’s conversion is the detachable changing table, which converts into a stand-alone nightstand. 

Changing table:

The changing table can be only attached to the right side of the crib. It has three drawers on the front, and two little shelves on the back. It is a quality-made changer, with a lot of storage space, but it doesn’t have an included changing mat. You will have to buy it separately, which is another additional cost for an already expensive crib.

Under-crib storage drawer:

Athena Daphne’s under crib storage is one of the best on the market. It has two large drawers that run on metal glides. Handling those drawers is much easier than those that extend beneath the entire crib. 

Mattress:

You can choose any standard size crib mattress for this crib, but I suggest you look into a Newton Wovenaire baby crib mattress, or more affordable, but still, quality Miliard’s crib mattress.

The thing that negatively surprised us is that Athena Daphne doesn’t possess adjustable mattress support. This is a major disadvantage compared to similar cribs. The mattress sits in the lowest position, and you can’t adjust it to a higher level for a newborn.

The verdict:

Athena Daphne is a quality and safe crib, but it offers a little less than other combo cribs on our list. It also costs the most, which is not neglectable at all.

Graco Remi is an all-in-on nursery solution, which grows with your child. It is a modern-designed baby crib, with the most drawers you can get! The crib possesses a large drawer underneath the crib and three concealed drawers on the changer.

Graco Remi’s frame has clean lines and a low profile, which enables parents of all sizes easy access to their babies. As such, it is the best combo crib for short moms. If you are petite, I highly recommend this one. It will make your life easier!

That doesn’t mean your child can easily climb out of the crib. Low-profile cribs are the result of a carefully designed frame, with shorter legs and a minimalist look.

Used to short parents use drop-side cribs, but not anymore! Because they are not safe, CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) banned the sale of those cribs in 2011.

Low-profile cribs like Graco’s Remi are a much safer alternative for short moms!

Convertibility Review:

Graco Remi is a 4-in-1 convertible crib, which converts into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed. 

1. Remi’s toddler bed is designed without a safety guardrail. Some parents are fine with such construction others don’t. I like convertible cribs with safety guardrails more, but lots of cribs don’t have it, so that’s not a huge disadvantage for the Remi crib. 

If you’re not comfortable with such an arrangement, rather choose one of the other combo cribs from this list. Other models all possess an optional toddler safety guardrail!

2. Graco Remi further converts into a daybed, where you don’t have to make any additional purchases. 

3. You have to buy a full-size conversion kit and a fitted mattress for the last conversion into a full-size bed. 

Changing table:

Regarding the available storage space is Graco Remi’s changing table one of the best on the market. Under the changing table are three concealed drawers, and two little shelves on the back.

Few other facts about the changer:

• Same as with other combo cribs, it can be attached only on the right side of the crib.
• It has an included 1″ changing pad with a safety strap.
• It doesn’t transit into a matching nightstand beside the full-size bed. That is a bit disappointing!

Under-crib storage drawer:

A large drawer under the crib provides ample storage for all of your baby’s belongings. It slides smoothly, and I don’t see any drawbacks regarding its quality.

My only remark is the same as for all combo cribs with under-crib drawers (except Athena Daphne), so the lack of a barrier between the drawer and mattress support.

Mattress:

You can adjust the mattress base into three different positions, starting with the highest position for a newborn and gradually lowering it down with your growing child.

Graco Remi has a metal spring mattress support, which enables better air circulation through the mattress. It is a standard size baby crib, so it takes any new standard-size baby crib mattress.

Graco’s Premium foam crib mattress is a perfect fit and an affordable choice. As I already said, dual-sided crib mattresses grow with convertible cribs, so picking one of them is also a wise decision. Or decide on a high-end crib mattress, such as Newton Wovenaire. The choice is really diverse!

The verdict:

The Graco Remi 4-in-1 convertible crib has a few minor imperfections, such as a lack of a toddler safety guardrail. But its good and useful features strongly speak in its favor, especially if you are a petite parent. It is one of the best baby cribs for short moms!

• Available finishes: Espresso, Gray & White
• Compatible crib mattress size: standard size crib mattress

• The size of a changing table: 28″L x 17″W x 30″H

Graco Solano is made by Storkcraft, so it’s very similar to the Steveston combo crib, which I had reviewed above. Those two cribs are almost identical and don’t differ in their functionality.

The biggest difference between them is their headboard design. While the Storkcraft Steveston possesses a solid wood backboard, has the Graco Solano an open design. Its headboard is made of carefully placed slats, which makes the crib a little more airy from the Steveston.

Another interesting fact about the Graco Solano is that the crib exists in three different versions. As you are reading about the best combo cribs with under crib drawer, you are probably looking for this type of crib. However, the Graco Solano’s versatility is unique, so if you like it, you might like its other versions too.

Convertibility Review:

Graco Solano is a 4-in-1 convertible crib, so it can transit into three different beds. The first conversion is a toddler bed, which can be with or without a safety guardrail. If you decide on a guardrail, it will cost you around $50. If you ask me, that’s not too much for the added safety of my child.

The second conversion is a daybed, which is the same as all convertible cribs, and it can be done without any additional costs.

The last Graco Solano conversion is a full-size adult bed. You need a Graco full-size metal bed frame, which will combine the headboard and footboard of the crib into a nice-looking adult bed. The great thing about the last conversion is also a detachable changing table, which transits into a nightstand beside the bed.

Changing table:

Graco Solano possesses a quality changing table, but it doesn’t have drawers. While the handling with such changers is easier, is the dust accumulation on shelves, of course, bigger than in the drawers.

Other than that, I don’t have any complaints. I actually really like it, and love the easy-reach shelves when my baby is on the changer.

The Graco Solano’s changer has two spacious shelves and in included, a water-resistant 1″ changing pad. It is attached on the right side of the crib, and it is not removable until the last conversion into an adult bed, where it becomes a nightstand.

Under-crib storage drawer:

Graco’s Solano possesses a large drawer under the whole mattress area. The drawer is the same as the Storkcraft Steveston’s unit. It is divided into two equal parts, for better organization, but you have to pul out the whole unit at once.

Mattress:

Graco Solano has three-level adjustable mattress support, so you can start with the highest setting for a newborn and gradually lower it down with his growth.

Yes, a combo crib takes up more space than a regular convertible crib, but it has the same internal dimensions, which are important for the mattress selection.

Graco Solano is a full-size crib, with standard internal measurements, so that any new regular-size crib mattress fits into the crib. You can opt for an affordable Graco crib mattress whit a high value for the price. Or you can decide on a little more sophisticated crib mattress, such as dual-sided, Eco-friendly, or organic crib mattresses.

The verdict:

Graco Solano convertible crib and changer is a popular crib among parents, and I can see why.

For someone, Solano’s changing table maybe offer a little less compared to those with drawers, but I don’t agree. Shelves are spacious and offer easy access while changing the baby.

Graco Solano is a safe, modern combo crib with clean lines, and additional underneath storage. It has everything for an affordable price!

Advantages and disadvantages of combo cribs with drawer

Pros:

• Each part of the crib is well-used and perfectly serves its purpose.
• No need for vacuum under the crib, because the drawer fills the entire empty space.
• It is a money saver! Any combination crib is cheaper than the total price of a separately placed crib and changing table.
• It is a space saver! Any combo crib takes less space than the separately placed crib and changing table together.

Cons:

• It is bigger than a standard convertible crib, so it takes more space in the nursery. But on the other hand, if you take any standard crib dimensions and add the dimensions of the separately placed changing table, together they will take more space than a combo crib.
• A changing table in a combo crib is smaller than a separately placed changing table, so your baby will outgrow it sooner.

Can I have both, a modern and useful nursery?

Of course, you can! When you start decorating a baby’s room, don’t look only in a beautiful design. Think about practicability too. I personally love minimalist design, but unfortunately, sometimes it is just not practical enough. So when it comes to home decorating, I am trying to find a middle road and combine practicality with minimalism.

I would love to have a nursery like this:

Isn’t it great? But will the nursery look the same after a few months? I don’t think so. With months, you get more and more baby stuff. Where will you put them? With toys and other baby belongings lying around, the room won’t be the same anymore. So, with little extra storage you can still have a beautiful room, and spare yourself a few headaches.

I am not saying you should stuff the room with cabinets, baskets, and bins. Just think in advance and try to make good use of spaces. And the under crib space is perfect to start with, because it is there, empty and unutilized. Use it for your own benefit! Your baby won’t have more room if you don’t decide on a drawer, but you can have great extra storage space.
