Baby Cribs: Reviews

IKEA makes inexpensive cribs that reviewers say are safe and stand up well to everyday use. The IKEA LEKSVIK is made of solid wood and veneer and has two mattress height settings. Other than the fact that it converts to a… toddler bed, the LEKSVIK is a basic crib without additional features. The LEKSVIK baby crib doesn't have a drop side, but some critics say stationary sides are safer overall. Parents who prefer an upscale look or a wide choice of finishes may want to opt for a more expensive crib, but for those who don't mind IKEA's minimalist styling, the LEKSVIK is a good choice. A mattress isn't included, but any standard crib mattress will fit.

Delta's Fold-a-Way crib gets good reviews both as a portable crib for travel and as a permanent crib for apartments or smaller rooms. The Delta baby crib comes with casters which parents say makes it easy to move from the… crib room to room. The included mattress adjusts to two heights for newborns and older babies. One side drops down for easier access to your baby. The Delta crib also folds flat for transport in larger vehicles like SUVs and vans, making it a good choice for parents who want to take their baby's crib with them for naps or overnight visits. It doesn't convert to a toddler bed, however, and a mattress isn't included.

Although it's expensive, the Stokke Sleepi is a flexible system that can be used as a bassinet (with separately purchased kit), a drop-side crib, a toddler bed or two chairs. The Stokke baby crib has a distinctive oval… shape that makes it roomy enough to be comfortable for toddlers but narrow enough to fit easily through doorways. Although there are less expensive convertible cribs available, the Stokke gets excellent reviews from parents who like its modern design and need a crib that fits well in a small room. The Sleepi has lockable casters and four mattress height settings, and comes in six finishes. A mattress is included.
