When it comes to buying a bed for your new baby there are several crib options. The best choice by far is a convertible crib. There are several reasons why convertible cribs are the smart choice.
Long Lasting
Instead of just working for your child for the first couple years, a convertible crib changes into a toddler bed or even to a full size bed. A toddler bed can last up until the school age years around 4 or 5 years old. If the bed converts to a full size, it can last forever. This type of crib offers a bit of stability to your baby’s life. When things are changing every day for them they will always go back to the bed they’ve had since they were born, and that can be comforting.
Sturdy and Safe
Some babies begin trying to climb out of the crib shortly after they are a year old. Convertible cribs are great in that as soon as the child is ready, the crib can instantly become a toddler bed, making a fall to the floor a few inches rather than a couple feet. While some toddler beds may be a little more flimsy, a toddler bed that was converted from a crib still has that supreme stability it did as a crib.
Convenience
The typical parent has a hectic schedule. Constantly running to and from work, the daycare, the store, and visiting. It is nonstop! Just think of the convenience of those that own convertible cribs. There will be no shopping involved because when the time is right you will be prepared. Just be sure the parts to convert the crib are included with the package and not sold separately.
All in all, its hard to justify not buying a convertible crib. It may cost a little extra now, but adding up the price of a crib, toddler bed, then a full size bed later on is definitely much more costly and time consuming.
