Convertible cribs are the economical choice for parents who don't want to replace their child's bed every couple of years. Convertible cribs often go from crib to toddler bed, to daybed and finally to a full bed. Instructions for converting each crib vary between styles and manufacturers, but the basic steps remain the same for most beds.
When your baby becomes a toddler and is ready to transition out of the crib, your Delta Concordia converts from a traditional crib to a day bed or a full-sized bed. The toddler bed assembly of the Concordia does not include a safety rail. Add an aftermarket safety rail to keep your little one from rolling out of bed.
Many mothers enjoy nursing their baby, but few enjoy having to get out of their cozy bed every couple hours to feed their baby. Co-sleeping, a sleeping arrangement that puts baby in or near the mother's bed, is practiced around the world as a way to help moms get more sleep while giving babies the comfort and nourishment they need at night. A mother who wants to enjoy the benefits of co-sleeping without giving up space in her bed all night can attach, or sidecar, baby's crib to an adult bed to add more sleeping space.
Cribs, like many other baby necessities, are only used for a short period of time. As a parent, you may be looking for a way to extend the life of this pricey baby item. When your baby has become too big for her crib, a convertible crib allows you to convert it to a toddler bed. Some convertible cribs will also allow you to convert the crib to a daybed and then a full-sized bed when your child is ready. Convertible cribs are also sometimes called "transitional cribs," since they transition through various stages with your child.
JCPenny sells The Tori Convertible Crib by Savanna exclusively through its department stores or online. The crib converts from a crib to a toddler bed and to a full-sized headboard and footboard. The crib includes stationary rails and three positions for the mattress, allowing for adjustment as the baby grows. Follow safety instructions when using the Tori crib to protect the baby against potential injury hazards.
The Christie convertible crib is sold by retailers as a crib manufactured by the ABC Co. JCPenney is the main retailer of the crib sold under the "Christie" label. The ABC Co. is the Million Dollar Baby Co., which sells the Christie convertible crib model under the "Parker" collection name. Assembling the Christie, or Parker, crib is similar to putting together other cribs and is usually easier to accomplish when two people are working on it.
Converting a crib to a daybed depends on the type of crib that you have purchased. Some cribs can not be converted because of the way the manufacturers made it, while others can convert three or four times until it becomes a twin or full-size bed. With the right tools and materials, you can convert your crib in a relatively short time.
