Bottom Line

The Delta Portable Crib folds flat for storage and sets up by simply unfolding the crib to its full size and then hooking a latch. The mattress adjusts to two heights. It can be used as a playpen as well as a crib. Consumers praise its small space-saver size. Though it is heavy (38 pounds), the hooded wheels make it easy to move. Some owners say the mattress is too thin.

Safety

Certifiably safe. The Delta Portable Crib is certified to meet or exceed all safety standards set by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association and Consumer Product Safety Commission. The sturdy wooden crib has a non-toxic finish and casters that do not lock. It is appropriate for babies up to 35 pounds. Its sides are stationary (no drop rails). The open slats on all four sides maximize air flow.

Ease Of Use

Easy to set up and store. The Delta Portable Crib is easy to assemble and fold down to a 6-inch width for storage or travel. Because it is on casters, it can be moved from room to room. The mattress can be adjusted to two heights and it's simple to do.

Lifestyle Features

Good looking. The Delta Portable Crib's two-position height adjustment gives users the opportunity to use it as a crib, bassinet, changing table, or playpen, according to the manufacturer. Consumer reviewers praise its good looks; it comes in white, natural and dark cherry finishes. They also say it is a good value for its attractive looks, versatility and durability.

The thin mattress gets a thumbs-down almost across the board; owners recommend getting a thicker mattress. It carries a one-year warranty.
