Should I buy a convertible Crib

Should I buy a convertible cot for my baby?

Having a baby is thrilling yet incredibly worrying. New parents have lots of concerns regarding their baby's safety. One of the things they tend to ignore is where the baby will sleep. While many parents opt for co-sleeping, many buy a crib.

One of the biggest hurdles in buying a crib is that the baby will outgrow it, and it's a waste. 

New parents are choosing convertible cribs to furnish their baby's dream room. They are more stylish, elite-looking, and have more advantages than traditional ones. 

 Convertible cribs are safe and convenient and ensure the child's sleeping needs throughout their young life. 

 Should I buy a convertible crib?

The answer is yes. What makes it worth it is that it is just a one-time buy. A baby can use a convertible crib between 18 months to 4-5 years, and later it can be used as a single bed. It cuts down on spending over time and is cost-effective. They are functional and comfortable. 

A convertible crib is a great option and a must-buy for the parents as it can transform with the baby from infancy through toddler years, preschool age and beyond. It can be converted into a daybed, toddler bed or full-size bed. It is attractive and a good investment for the baby's comfort and sleep. There are many advantages to purchasing it. They offer great space as mattress heights can be adjusted according to the baby's growth. Most convertible cribs are made of sturdy and durable materials like pinewood, ensuring prime condition even after several years of usage. 

Brownie points if they are made of eco-friendly and non-toxic materials to ensure maximum safety for the child. 

Is a convertible crib worth it?

Buying a convertible crib is an investment because the baby will eventually outgrow any standard crib. If you choose to buy a regular crib, you will have to buy a toddler bed and a regular bed as the child will outgrow that. Once the baby reaches toddler age, one can convert the crib into the next stage. While using it as a bed for toddlers, nobody can tell that it was once a crib. So essentially, the parents are saving money in the long run. 

 These cribs come in variations of 2-in-1, 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and 5-in-1. A 2-in-1 crib is a combination of a crib to a toddler bed. A 5-in-1 convertible crib can be converted into a toddler bed, day bed, child bed with/without headboard, footboard and guardrails. In contrast, the 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 cribs offer three or four of these benefits. The more conversions in the crib, the more it will cost, but it is a one-time or collective purchase before the baby is born. After purchasing the convertible crib, the parents need not worry about shopping for a bed again. Baby will eventually grow into a toddler and then a kid, so it is better to purchase it as soon as the baby is born. Instead of buying three beds for the child, the convertible cribs are all-in-one cribs. Many convertible cribs come along with a sofa, drawers and shelves for storage, or a trundle bed to sleep next to the baby.

Are convertible cribs safe? 

 These days' convertible cribs come with many safety features. 

• They are firm and come with tight-fitting mattresses. Always go for the mattress which comes along with the crib, and make sure the mattress is firm that fits snuggly in the baby's crib. 

• Every part of the crib is in the packaging and is not missing or broken. There are no cutouts in the head or footboard; they are fine and sturdy. The sides of the cribs are stationary, and the corners are not edgy or sharp. 

How long do convertible cribs last? 

 A good quality crib can be reused for the second baby, but always remember never to use a crib older than ten years. 

The reason is using a crib more than ten years old that has been assembled, disassembled and reassembled over time and may have worn out hardware parts, which can loosen and make the crib unsafe.
