5. Union 3-in-1

Parents seeking a fashionable sturdy, robust crib at a reasonable price should consider Union 3-in-1. The crib is constructed of eco-friendly New Zealand pine with non-toxic paint and is compliant with all safety standards. This crib is easily convertible into a daybed and toddler bed using a conversion kit (sold separately). It fits a standard crib bed mattress sold in most stores. It also goes well with other furniture for the nursery.

While all cribs adhere to strict safety guidelines set by the federal government however, there is a lot of variations between cribs in terms of design and construction as well as overall function. The style of slats, the height of the mattress, the overall dimensions and more all determine how easy a crib is to use and how long it can be used.

A few of the cribs in this review include the option of turning into a daybed or toddler bed like the Babyletto Hudson 4-in-1 and Delta Children Tribeca. Most require an extra purchase to complete the conversion. This could be a major disadvantage if you plan not to utilize the conversion kit but still want a crib durable enough to last for a number of children.

The Storkcraft Equinox is one of the mattresses with the lowest heights of sitting we've examined, which can be beneficial if you are short or have a parent who is small. The low height is a benefit but it could also be a disadvantage, particularly if your baby starts to get up and out of her crib. It has a higher profile than the other cribs reviewed in this review, making it harder to reach your child during the night.
