Baby Cache Heritage Lifetime Convertible Crib by Munire
- Serves as crib, toddler bed and daybed
- Converts to full-size bed
- Solid mahogany wood
- Three mattress level settings
- Hand-carved details
- Expensive
- Finish scratches easily
- Two conversion kits cost extra
Both consumers and experts like the Baby Cache Heritage Lifetime Convertible Crib for its hand-carved details, durable mahogany wood construction and three beautiful finishes. It also features three mattress height levels, but many owners say it's difficult to obtain the two conversion kits (sold separately) needed to transform the crib into a toddler bed, daybed and full-size bed. A few also complain of scratches to the finish and color distortion in high heat and humidity, which reviewers find particularly unfortunate considering the crib's higher price. Convertible crib shoppers on a budget may prefer the best-reviewed DaVinci Emily 4-in-1 Convertible Crib (*Est. $215) or the Graco Sarah Classic Convertible Crib (*Est. $150).
We found expert feedback in the book "Baby Bargains" and at parent advice website Babble.com, and the crib is extensively reviewed by owners at BabiesRUs.com. Consumer review sites provide valuable information on how to set up the crib, how different mattresses fit in it and various issues that can occur over time, such as the finish warping and crib-to-bed conversion difficulties.
