Extremely popular today, these modern cribs conveniently match our desire for style with our need for economy. Depending on your budget and future needs, you can opt for 2-in-1, 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 convertible cribs. In other words, the baby cribs convert to toddler bed, advance to daybed, or even progress to full size bed, thereby growing with your child. How does this translate into a great investment? Not only will this convertible bed last your child from infancy to the teen years, the same baby crib can serve as a guest bed, long after your teen moves out. Now that is durability. Tip: Just remember to purchase the conversion kit at the same time as the crib. Else you might discover later that the model you bought has since been discontinued.

DaVinci Kalani Crib
The DaVinci Kalani Crib is a 4-in-1 convertible. It has a classic, curved sleigh design that looks beautiful in any nursery. It is extremely sturdy and safe. A 4-level mattress spring system ensures that you can be worry free even once your baby starts to stand in the crib. The Espresso color seems to be the most popular among customers.
We found two complaints against it; one that it scratches easily and another that the instruction booklet for assembling the crib is inadequate. Although some parents suggest that it is so easy to assemble that you don't need the booklet. It is being offered right now at a 38% discount...and with Free Shipping, this seems to be a winner. To complete the set opt for the
Kalani Combo Dresser / Changing Table "This crib is really beautiful and extremely sturdy. My husband had no problem at all assembling it, it took him at the most 30 minutes to assemble it. The crib looks fantastic and we couldn't be more happier. I highly recommend this brand and particular crib. It grows with your baby, safe and always looks wonderful." #2 - DaVinci Parker CribAlso from the DaVinci collection, comes the Parker crib. 4-in-1 convertible cribs with swooping front that is both elegant and practical, allowing moms easy reach for the baby. Like the Kalani, Parker too has a solid front with no moving parts. This gives it stability. Here you find a 3-level mattress spring system. The Oak wood finish is a popular buyer choice.
The best feature of the Parker crib is a trundle underneath allowing you more storage. That has got to be a blessing!! Since this is a wide slotted crib, most regular mobiles might not attach on it. The wood tends to scratch easily, so it has to be handled gently. One parent recommends installing a teething rail. "I am 6 months pregnant and I put it together quite easily with the assistance of my 12 year old son...Also this crib after assembling is the sturdiest crib I have ever seen. I also like the way it doesn't have the slotted jail cell feel like many other cribs have...Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase." With such great reviews, a 14% discount and Free Shipping, buying this crib seems to be a no-brainer. Complete the set with a 4-Drawer Dresser and a 2-Door Changer. Next stop, Crib Mattress. Another bestseller from the DaVinci collection is the DaVinci Richmond 4-in-1 convertible crib. #3 – Babyletto Mercer Crib SetThe Mercer cribs by Babyletto are 3-in-1 convertible cribs. It has a beautiful modern and sleek look. It has 4 mattress support levels. Since it is made of pine, it tends to scratch easily, so investing in a guard rail would be best.
The Espresso/White finish has a unique look but you could purchase a single finish crib too. You get a bottom drawer for additional storage. The only complaint seems to be of the changing table most have bought with the crib. The bottom of the drawers appears to be a little flimsy and seems to be made of soft pine. With a 29% discount, Free Shipping and a Free Mattress offer, the cost of the crib set does seem quite acceptable considering the high-end look. "I ordered the crib, changing table and dresser for my baby boy[...]It is sturdy and it even looks better than it did on the internet. I love it and would recommend it to others who are looking for this kind of products." A Modo 5-drawer dresser can help you complete the modern look. #4 – Babyletto Newhaven CribThe Newhaven crib also from Babyletto is one of the rare convertible canopy cribs. The unique look gives the nursery an added flair. Its 4-in-1 convertible feature allows it to be treasured for a long time.
Do remember to read the inclusions carefully since only the toddler bed conversion rail kit, full size headboard and foot board are included. The conversion kit to full size has to be purchased separately. The mattress adjusts to 4 levels. Another beauty of the crib is the hidden 2-compartment drawer underneath that provides additional storage without taking away from its looks. Although we were hard put to find many reviews of this crib, its distinct look, great features and company name give it credibility. With a 12% discount and Free Shipping, it would already be a heart-stealer for many, but with a total 27% discount on the crib set with Free Shipping AND a Free Mattress, shouldn't you be treating yourself to this one? A 3 drawer changer or a 5-level 7 drawer dresser will help complete the fantasy nursery. #5 –
