Convertible Baby Cribs And Crib Safety Tips!Convertible baby cribs function like traditional cribs for newborns and then as the child grows older and larger the base of the crib can be dropped to keep the top rails a safe distance above the top of the mattress. When the child is tall enough and old enough for a conventional toddler bed the sides of convertible baby cribs can be dropped to form a toddler or day bed.
Safety Tips!Some convertible baby cribs are really toddler beds with side rails added almost as an afterthought. When deciding on which one to buy keep the following crib safety tips in mind. The gap between the vertical bars should be 2-3/8 inches or less. The distance measured from the top of the crib mattress to the top of the side rails in their highest positions should be 26 inches or greater.
Measurements For Safety!As soon as the distance measured from the top of the crib mattress in its lowest position, to the top of the side rails in their highest positions is less than ¾ of your child’s height the crib can no longer effectively contain your baby. It may be safer to convert it to a toddler bed at this time and make sure you buy a good quality mattress that fits the crib properly. Purchasing convertible baby cribs could be the most economical baby bed choice for most people but it does take a bit more organizing, monitoring and measuring than simply buying a crib and replacing it with a toddler bed later on.
