Convertible cribs are a practical addition to any nursery. When purchasing a crib you have the opportunity to think to the future. It is the only baby paraphernalia that you purchase that will be around for years to come. So when you are purchasing your convertible baby crib think of it as an investment.

Convertible baby cribs grow with your child. As your child gets older and gets bigger the crib changes to accommodate your child’s mile stones. As an infant your child will be in the crib with the baby crib mattress at its highest settings. Once your child begins to roll over and sit up you will drop the mattress down to the second highest mattress setting. As your child begins to bring him or herself to their knees you will once again drop the mattress to the third lowest setting. Finally, you will drop the mattress to the fourth and lowest mattress setting when your child is able to pull him or herself up on the bars of the crib.
Every child is different.

Most pediatricians and parents agree to keep your child in the crib until you either need it for a younger sibling or until the child figures out how to climb out. Once this happens you will have the opportunity to take advantage of the first stage of the crib conversion. You will be able to convert the crib into a beautiful toddler bed. The toddler bed utilizes the same crib mattress and the crib sheets fit wonderfully. You will be able to use the same quilt or blanket that came with your child’s crib bedding. The only think that you might want to add is a pillow. You should however speak with your pediatrician and also review online at your baby crib site, before putting a pillow in your child’s bed. Convertible baby cribs alleviate a lot of the stress of accommodating a growing child.
