What is a Convertible Baby Crib?

A convertible crib is a type of baby crib that can transform into a toddler bed, daybed, full bed, and sometimes even additional configurations as your child grows. Most cribs that convert from a crib all the way to a full bed are considered 4-in-1 cribs - some cribs have as many configurations as 6-in-1!

How does a convertible crib work?

• 2-in-1 convertible crib: Converts from a crib to a full bed.
  
• 3-in-1 convertible crib: Converts from a crib to a toddler bed or a daybed.
  
• 4-in-1 convertible crib: Converts from a crib to a toddler bed, daybed, and to a full bed.
  
• 5-in-1 convertible crib: Converts from a crib to a toddler bed, daybed, and to a full bed. In some cases the full bed has the option of a footboard, creating a 5th configuration. Clever!
  
• 6-in-1 convertible crib: Converts from a crib to a toddler bed, daybed, sofa (a daybed with pillows arranged supportively), and to a full bed with or without a footboard.
