When you need to purchase a crib for your little one it is important to look for the features you need. Does the crib have an adjustable mattress height? Is there a teething rail? Is there a changing station or space to store the baby’s essentials? Am I looking for a portable crib? How much space do I have available?
The safety of your baby is the most important fact to consider. The amazing design of the Stork Craft 4 In 1 Convertible Crib means that the crib grows along with your baby. It features three different mattress height settings. The crib converts to a toddler bed as your child grows, then into a day bed, and then to complete its transformation into a full-size bed.
