i [...] was able to see pictures of this crib in all its forms and it looks great as a toddler bed and a full size bed as well.
the crib looks gorgeous put together and it's amazing that it is convertable into so many different beds-- it will last our daughter years and years and years!
our babies bedroom is a very contemporary retro-modern theme and it fits very well so i think that this crib is very versatile.
it's not like when u walk in the room ur like "omg nice off white crib"...i think it's a great crib...it's really elegant-looking...and gorgeous with nice crisp white bedding!
it is impossible to fit standard crib toys on the longer sides of the bed where they are easily seen by the baby.
this is the perfect toddler bed - it's inexpensive, it's sturdy, and it's absolutely adorable!
this is a great tottler bed, my daughter loves it.
my son just loves this bed!
the bed is perfect for a toddler.
the bed itself is cute and fairly well constructed.
all of your pieces and compare them to the instructions (some of them are not used for the crib, but only for the bed conversion), then it doesn't take too long to figure out which pieces go where.
it was a little hard to read off a board that you are building the crib with (the instructions are glued to it) but i guess its good because when you convert the bed you never have to worry about
the rochester crib by storkcraft is a good value, it's a stages crib and will convert into a daybed then a double bed, so far i've only use it as a crib and it has been great, the only thing that i
i wanted this crib because it was sized between the gigantic sleigh beds i have seen and the smaller ones that look a bit rickety.
we've loved it so far but have only used it as a crib, not the toddler bed or the double bed.
the one thing that impressed me over other cribs we looked at, is it comes with the conversion kit to turn the crib into a daybed or full size bed.
i am sure this crib will get many years of use because it is very well constructed and can be converted to a toddler bed once the baby is older.
the only thing i didn't like about it was the bumper that goes with the crib bedding can't tie around the back of the crib because of the wide bar in the back.
the crib is nice, the ad kind of confused me and my wife into thinking it had everything (minus the matress) to turn it into a daybed, but in reality it comes lacking the bed rails (sold seperately).
luckily it's in the back part of the crib so it's not noticeable.this crib is prefect, it has all of the features i wanted like the teething guard, drop side and turns into day and full size bed.
when my little one outgrew the family basinet, i was presented with the option of moving the crib up a flight of stairs (temporarily) or moving our bed down a flight of stairs (temporarily).
all in all it's a fantastic travel bed and we are very glad we spent the money and got the best on the market.
i purchased this travel bed from amazon back in oct 2008 for $169 and have used it several times.
pros: comfortable, easy to assemble, fits anywhere, roomy, sturdy best uses: infants, newborn, preemies, toddlers describe yourself: first time parent bottom line: recommended it's
this bed is so simple to set up and take down.
it has been a sturdy crib for us even though my daughter likes to grab the rails and shake the bed.
is a good crib for the price but still i don't find the 3-in-1 from its tittle, i hope i guess it by the time my baby turns into a toddler or i will have to look for a new toddler bed because this
although it doesn't convert to a toddler bed like the other (more expensive) models, i rationalized that by the time our daughter is ready to have a bed, we'll be ready to redecorate her room...and
she is not ready for the toddler bed yet but it is nice to know that this crib converts to a day bed when she is ready.
once i put the bedding inside it was just perfect.
it is not made of real wood like the crib itself but it seems fairly sturdy and could certainly be used to hold extra bed linens.
for well under $300 we now have a crib that converts to a toddler bed that can also be converted to a larger bed later on when our child outgrows the toddler bed.
*its a convertable crib, and can be used as a toddler bed, daybed and full size bed.
-you can order parts to convert to a full-sized bed, further extending the life of the crib.
we are two months away from baby jack joining us and i am sure he will love his new crib and alphabet soup bedding!
it is very convenient for her to place the baby in the bassinet close to her bed leaving the side down so that she can view the baby.
the bottom line: this is a great product for breastfeeding parents who don't want to have the baby sleep in the bed with them.
it pushes up right next to your bed and allows you to reach over to pick up your baby easily, or just look at them to make sure they're ok without getting up and walking into another room, and it
not sure why people are saying this tilts, we had no problem at all...we didnt attach it to our bed though and had no problems, we had a preemie and kept the side down for a few weeks with no
if you are like me and get the whole crib ready and set up thinking you dont need a bedside sleeper, once that baby comes, think again!
this crib is perfect in our bedroom and the only drawback is the flimsy mattress that comes with it and the lack of bedding for this size of crib.
i would also caution that buying bedding for a mini crib is a bit of a pain--- there's not that much decent quality stuff out there.
i was using it when my average-sized baby was 5 months, and he fit nicely, but i'm guessing it may only fit him for one more visit and then it will need to be converted into the regular bed.
we live in a condo and couldn't fit a regular sized crib in our bedroom.
it is a good size and since we live in a tiny ny one bedroom it's a good fit...however it is a pain to put together.
convert it to a daybed as my son will be ready to move up soon ( this one replaced the old crib in july and he wasn't ready for a toddler bed yet, plus we plan to have another child in the future).
otherwise it went together while watching tv and the finish is great and goes well with the rest of the bedroom furniture.
and consumer reports even rated it as tied for 2nd with pottery barn's "dana" ($500) and second only to bellini's "bella" ($930), which doesn't even convert to a toddler or day bed as this one does.
or maybe the bedframe/mattress will cover those..
i bought this baby bed for my first granddaughter.
it is a good buy for what you pay and i like that you can't loose the instructions because they are attached to the bed, and i like that i will grow with my daughter.
so far i love this bed, my daughter sleeps great in it and it was easier than i thought it would be to put it together.
this bed is actually for the nursery i am putting together in my home home for my first grandchild..we put the bed together last week-end and we love the color which is "cognac" and we fell in love
i have not used this bed yet but will soon.
i ordered this bed for my grand-daughter.
i am very pleased with this purchase not just b/c of the quality but also for the price and the fact that it transforms from crib to toddler bed to day bed to full size bed.
it is a gorgeous piece of furniture that will be functional from the day she is born until the day she is ready to leave home for college, since it converts from crib, to toddler bed, to full size bed
now that's taken care of, i think it's going to make a great crib, seems very sturdy and will easily convert to toddler bed.
my only complaint is that we changed it to a toddler bed thinking that there was some sort of board to prevent her from rolling out of the bed and there isn't.
once i put the bedding on, it looks really beautiful and like we spent alot more money than we actually did.
we are very pleased with this bed.
we haven't used the crib too much for our 3 month old, as she usually sleeps in bed with us, but she does nap in it and it's still a good size for her at 12.5 lbs.
the other reviewer is right, you can push it up to your bed if you want a co-sleeper type of bed, and you could even lower the side down for easy reach of the baby.
it is great to move from room to room and you can pull it up next to your bed similar to a co-sleeper.
we have 2 kids in a 2-bedroom apartment.
other than that, i'm very happy with it and can't wait to see how the toddler bed versions look through the years.
i would definately recommend this crib to anyone.i am having a little trouble finding the rails to convert the crib into a bed.
this crib looks great with the classic pooh bedding.
when we first converted the crib to the toddler bed, my daughter told her daycare teacher that i broke her bed.
i didnt want to turn my sons crib into everything, becuase the bed is going to get messed up and scratched and i just wanted a crib, although this one will convert if you want it to.
cried the whole time she was in it) then we tried our evenflo playyard with bassinett and she would wake up and cry when we lifted her out of our bed into it.then we ordered this and it works well.
this is a great product to use if you are nursing, since you don't have to get up out of bed multiple times a night.
it's big yet was able to fit into our bedroom, you can actually fit 2 babies in it, it's great gives me peace of mind knowing my baby will be sleeping right next to me =)
bought the product for my neice and she didnt want the baby in the bed with her but also as a first time mother didnt want her baby in the other room she loves this product fits right up to the bed i
this product does what it says - it remains by bedside - is sturdy - saves you getting out of bed when feeding and is comfortable enough for my baby who has been sleeping there for over three months.
i would agree that it takes about 1-2 hours to put together, you will need a bed skirt to make sure the contents of the drawer don't show, and while the bottom of the drawer is particle board and not
just a suggestion for all who go for this crib; when you order the bedding, make sure it has a bed-skirt/ruffle so that it hides all your stuff in the drawer.
i also love that it comes with the rail to convert to a toddler bed.
i use it to store the baby's bedding and any small toys.
the only thing i recommend is that you have a bed skirt, or else you will see straight into the drawer, but i do not find that a downside at all.
she still sleeps just fine in this crib and hasn't climbed out once.
i am a single father with twin infants who spend most of their time with mom and the rest with me in my 1 bedroom apt.
we have very little space in our bedroom since our son, 2, has his crib in our room, it is a convertible and it takes up a lot of space.
we were able to drag it from bedroom to bedroom as we moved the baby into our bedroom and then out again.
we bought this crib for our little girl because we live in a one bedroom apartment and did not have too much room for a big crib.
(click anywhere inside this popup to close it) awaiting baby girl i have seen many baby beds of all shapes and sizes in my 50 years, 4 children and 3 grandchildren and this bassinet is
went together nicely and the bedding is very soft.
and they actually sold me an additional bedding set!
the bedding is cotton white eyelet and again, the quality is well above average.
washed the bedding and we are set for our new baby now---2 more weeks to go and i am going nuts.
it is very easy to attach to your adult bed and is very snug against your mattress with absolutely no dangerous gaps.
keep the baby safe from roll over in your bed but next to you in a safe mini-crib.
i had visions of it being level with the bed, an extension of the bed that i could slide the baby across.
i use it next to my bed as a buffer just in case now when i bring her into bed with me sometimes.
baby is snug by our bed and it doesn't take up much space.
