Convertible Crib Reviews Continued (#6 - #10)

We continue with our convertible crib review.

#6 – Bratt Decor Venetian Crib

Here is another gem from the Bratt Decor house. If iron baby crib is your favorite, the Bratt Decor Venetian Crib has to be high on your list. The luxurious look is further enhanced with four posters and canopy cross bars. A soft fabric draped over will instantly show you to the focal point of the nursery...your baby!

It is a 3-in-1 convertible and will make a beautiful day bed at a later stage. Made of wrought iron/cast aluminum, it boasts a 'Hand-applied Pewter Silver finish with powder coating'. The only reason you might want to re-consider purchasing this beauty is the drop-side feature. Many parents today prefer a static side.

Enjoy Free Shipping with your purchase. Although there are no matching pieces created in this collection, we discovered a Changing Table and bathing station which is quite unique. A dressing station and hutch might also be a great addition as it allows changing the baby as well as tons of storage. And it's time to buy the Crib Mattress.

"This is a beautiful crib. We purchased this crib for our first child, a boy. We felt that the iron look is a classic style that will work for a boy and a girl. We like versatility and the absolute style that this crib represents."

#7 – Stokke Sleepi Crib w/ Mattress

The Stokke Sleepi Convertible Crib is expensive. That being said, it still finds a place in our top 10. That is because it has many favorable reviews. All parents seem to be in consensus that it’s oval shape, narrow sides and lockable wheels make it invaluable and easy to move around the house. Do keep in mind that it only converts into a toddler bed or into two chairs.

Made of beechwood, the cribis sturdy and durable. A beautiful finish ensures that it is scratch and teething proof. The 4 different mattress positions are lower than other cribs. If you are short or have a back problem, you might want to reconsider.

The crib mattress provided is not very thick. Also the unique shape of the crib means that you have to buy special crib sheets. Earlier reviews also reveal that some of these sheets shrink a lot. So do your research before buying the sheets.

Strangely though, despite all these seemingly unfavorable reasons, just about every parent recommend it to be a great purchase and say that they would go for another too.

With a mere 8% discount, Free Shipping and a 'Parent Favorite' tag attached, buying this crib is totally your call. Our recommendation - Check your budget before you purchase.

You could also purchase a Stokki Sleepi Complete Set or a Crib set with Changing Table.

"I looked everywhere for a unique shaped crib. I originally wanted a round one but found this oval one to be even better w/ it's function to convert. Assembly was extremely easy & we are impressed with the sturdiness of this crib."

#8 – Young America by Stanley MyHaven Crib

Are you planning a cottage theme for the nursery? The MyHaven Built to Grow Convertible crib is just what you need. This beautiful curved look is available in an unbelievable 20 finishes...which one will you choose? The crib has a 3-level mattress spring system and it transforms seamlessly into a double bed (you wouldn't guess it was ever a crib!). This design was a 2007 Pinnacle Award finalist and looks just as great today.

If you are keenly looking for objections, the soft pine does scratch easily. Also, it is not built to accommodate trundle or underbed storage. On the plus side, it is eco-friendly. This crib is built in the USA.

At a 24% discount and Free Shipping, the MyHaven Built to Grow crib definitely deserves a spot in your top 10 list too.

"When this product came it still smelled like paint. so we had to let it set a few days. even after we put it together it smelled like paint and scratched easy the first 2 weeks. I HIGHLY recommend this bed. it is Heavy and. one of the best furinture piece we own and we buy nice stuff. this piece will last hundred + yrs enjoy. we did intense research with all our baby products and this is up and beyond!!!!!"

Matching pieces include a double dresser, night stand and door chest.

#9 – AFGInternational Athena Daphne Crib

We love this designer's unique concept – providing a crib with changing table that ultimately converts to a youth bed and night stand! A great space and budget saver with a fabulous look too. Made of solid wood, the finish is non-toxic and easy to care for. The Cherry color is quite a best-seller.

Parents agree that it is a great purchase. It does require a special sized changing pad and cover, and not the standard changing pad size. So you should invest in their change unit pad too.

At a 25% discount and Free Shipping, this unique space saving convertible crib design is bound to serve you for many years to come.

"This crib is a GREAT space saver for a tiny nursery. It's three pieces of furniture in one! It was really easy to put together (my husband did it in an hour). The craftsmanship is not the best. Smudgy staining here and there. [...] Overall, great value for a space saving, 3-in-1 convertible crib."

Do you really need any other furniture piece to go with it? Well maybe just an armoire.

#10 – DaVinci Emily Mini Crib

If you have been researching baby cribs for long, you must have heard of DaVinci Emily 4-in-1 Convertible Crib. But here we have included their mini crib. Why? Because when 80 independent reviews give it 4.4 stars out of 5, we have to sit up and take notice. It is sturdy, durable and a great space saver. Parents rave about its craftsmanship and value for money.

But it is not without some disadvantages. Due to its smaller size, finding bedding and bumpers that fit is difficult. Some parents suggest purchasing standard bedding and securing it with sheet straps. The mattress pad provided with the crib is quite thin and insufficient. Purchase a mini mattress separately to make the crib cozier for your baby.

This is a 2-in-1 convertible and converts to a twin bed at a later date. It has 4 adjustable mattress levels

"Very attractive and sturdy. Easy to put together. I love the small size. I actually wanted the baby to sleep in bed with me but turns out she prefers her crib!!!"

With a low cost and Free Shipping, your nursery is practically done. Add a Changing Table and 4-Drawer Dresser to complete the decor.

This is our top 10 pick of the best of the best from a multitude of convertible crib flooding the stores. Would you like to have some more choices? Go ahead and check out more cribs. With the number of options available, our best recommendation is to decide on your theme, finalize the color or finish you plan to go with and then choose the crib that best suits your requirements.

Our second-best recommendation; just go for it. Don't waste your time going back and forth on this issue. All the big names in the business ensure all the safety standards are met. As long as your convertible crib is JPMA certified, you are set. Of course you need to check the actual item once it arrives at your doorstep.
