A few of the cribs featured in this review offer the possibility of converting into an infant bed or a daybed such as the Babyletto Hudson 4-in-1 and Delta Children Tribeca.

The Storkcraft Equinox has one of the lowest sitting mattress heights in our review which is a good thing when you're a little small or have a petite parent. However, the small height can be a problem, especially when your tot starts pulling herself up and climbing out of her crib.
