The style of slats used, mattress height levels, overall dimensions and more all determine how easy a crib is to use and how long it can be used.


Certain cribs, like the Babyletto Hudson 4 in 1 and Delta Children Tribeca, can be converted into a daybed, or toddler bed. But the majority require an additional purchase to complete the conversion. This is a major disadvantage if you're not planning on using the conversion kit, but may nevertheless want a crib that lasts through many kids and beyond.

The Storkcraft Equinox has one of the lowest heights for a sitting mattress in our test and this can be beneficial if you're tall or have a small parent. The low height is a benefit but it could also be a drawback, especially if your baby starts to climb up and crawl out of her crib. It has a higher profile than the other cribs reviewed in this review, which makes it harder to reach your child during the night.
