What is a Convertible Crib?
A convertible crib is any crib that turns into one or more beds. Depending on the type you choose, it can convert into a toddler bed, daybed, twin-size bed, and even an adult bed.
Almost all convertible cribs are stationary models made of wood! However, there are few exceptions made of iron or acrylic. And that is not all! Other convertible crib types (convertible cribs on wheels, convertible cribs with an attached changing table, mini convertible cribs, etc.) provide even greater versatility in an already large group of cribs.
Depending on the number of their conversions, we divide convertible cribs into three subtypes.
Subtypes of convertible cribs:
- A 2-in-1 convertible crib can convert into one bed.
- A 3-in-1 convertible crib can transit into two beds.
- A 4-in-1 convertible crib can convert into three beds.
A convertible crib grows with your child. There is no need to buy a new bed every couple of years, which saves you a lot of time and effort. Not to mention the money you will save!
Best convertible cribs of 2023
Best overall:
Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 convertible crib
Why we love it:
This is one of my favorite convertible cribs. Not just because of its quality craftsmanship and high functionality but also due to its beautiful design.
The Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 convertible crib is a retro-modern-looking crib with an open design. Such a design and broad selection of different finishes allow it to match almost any nursery decor.
I also really appreciate its Eco-conscious design. The Babyletto shows its concern for the environment by using sustainable New Zealand pine wood (one of the most renewable woods).
Hudson grows with your child from infancy through toddler age. It is a solid, safe, and durable crib, which won’t wobble after conversions. It has four-level mattress support, allowing you to start at the highest setting for a newborn and gradually lower it down with the baby’s growth.
Short moms will welcome the Babyletto Hudson’s low profile and minimalistic frame.
And the best part? Everything for its conversions is in the price. You will get a toddler bed safety guardrail with the crib! This will save you a lot of trouble finding the matching safety rail and save you some money.
Best farmhouse convertible crib:
Evolur Waverly 5-in-1 convertible crib
Why we love it:
The Evolur Waverly 5-in-1 convertible crib could be easily a no.1 on this list. The only reason I have put it in the second place is its higher price.
Yes, you will pay more, but if you can afford it, consider it!
You can notice its luxurious appearance from afar. Its finishes alone are on a higher level. The crib is not just painted with a regular no-toxic finish but also textured. This gives the crib a much-loved rustic farmhouse charm. However, it is far from the only element that makes the Evolur such a great crib.
The fine craftsmanship, a full-panel headboard with a shiplap design, and a straight frame with curved accents are just some of Evelur’s design elements I want to point out here. I am genuinely impressed by its look!
The Evolur Waverly is a 5-in-1 convertible crib, which is designed to work effortlessly throughout the years. However, do not the 5-in-1 number mislead you thinking you are getting lots more than with 4-in-1 models.
Evolur’s 4th and 5th conversions are just a full-size bed with a headboard and optional footboard.
Anyway, the Evolur Waverly convertible crib is absolutely worth your consideration! It is a luxury yet simple and highly functional convertible crib that fits various nursery designs (rustic, farmhouse, modern, etc.).

Best budget buy:
DaVinci Union 4-in-1 convertible crib
Why we love it:
The DaVinci Union 4-in-1 convertible crib might not leave such a memorable first impression as Evour’s Waverly, but it is a reliable crib with everything you need. And it costs a lot less!
The Union crib boasts all the features a convertible crib needs. It has four-level mattress support and converts into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed with a headboard and footboard.
You will have to buy a toddler bed safety rail separately. But all together (crib + safety rail) won’t cost more than $200, which is very affordable.
The DaVinci Union is a minimalistic convertible crib, which has its advantages. One of the most notable ones is that it does not take up a lot of space in the room. Sometimes every inch counts, therefore, a small footprint might be vital for someone’s decision.
The crib is stable and sturdy, yet it doesn’t weigh a lot. It is available in various finishes, including a unique Lagoon shade of the Union crib above.
This convertible crib offers a lot for a low-budget crib!
