Good Luck.. I was reading up on them & it appears as though their service isn't great.

Preferably I would want a convertible crib that goes from newborn/infant to toddler to a full size bed and one with a side changing table attached. I'm kind of afraid which one to choose because I've been reading all kinds of recalls because of death.

What kind of crib do you have and do you feel safe with it?

I agree with blessed. No drop down rails, they can dangerous. Unless you're really really short, it shouldn't be a problem to reach in and get your baby out. When he or she is really small, you can put the mattress up higher so you don't have to lean down so far, and once baby gets bigger, you move the mattress down and they stand up and hold onto the sides when they want out anyway!

We have a Delta crib and I'm very happy with it. It converts to a toddler bed and a full size bed very easily. for a toddler bed, you just remove the front rail.

It doesn't have the changing table attached on the side, but they make ones that do. Honestly, I think changing tables are a waste of money. We never use ours. I set a changing pad on top of my son's dresser and we have a little changing station there to use for nighttime diaper changes.

We are going to buy a davinci emily convertible crib. My husband doesn't like white and I don't like black. We both don't like natural. So it is between oak, coffee, and amber. Here is a link so you can see if you want. I was just curiouse what color you think would go good! I got sugar plum bedding too!

I love the oak, It's not to dark, and it's a nice soothing colour for the baby's eyes

I found a crib that I love at Babies R Us. The crib is called the Storkcraft Rochester Convertible Crib W/Drawer - Oakhttp://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3643611. (yes I know it's currently unavailable but I'm not due till march). So this is by far my favorite crib; with other cribs at Babies R Us they will include in the listing that is part of a collection so you know what changing table, and dresser will match. With this crib the page doesn't have that. So has anyone purchased this crib, and if so will any Storkcraft Oak pieces match this crib or is there a certain collection that I need to order? I don't want a room of furniture that doesn't match.

Thanks!!!
Thanks to everyone who has answered so far. I am going to be a first time mom, so all your advice is greatly appreciated it. I have just started looking at cribs, and this one was my favorite so far.

All you gotta do is go to your local Babies R Us and they usually have full collections together. You may not even like it in person, so that's always best to check it out first.

You can do it the same time you plan on registaring

I got this convertible crib for baby: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5640155

I bought the Baby Looney bedding set and matching mobile for this crib. I cannot fit the mobile on the back or the sides of the crib. I don't want to fit the mobile on wall as I will be moving crib sometimes. The only place I can fit mobile is in the front rail which drops to pick up baby. That's seems weird to me if I fit it over there because I will be using the drop rail alot.

What do you think I can do? Are there any other mobiles which can fit these types of cribs?

It does seem weird to put it on the front rail, but that's what we did, too. I had a similar problem with my crib not fitting a mobile right. The mobile we ended up with was a Tiny Love Symphony-in-Motion, which attaches between the vertical slats rather than attaching over a horizontal rail.

Has anyone found a mobile that will fit on a convertible crib that has thick rails? I have tried 2, and had to return both. It doesn't matter the theme or pattern, I just want one that is secure and won't fall on baby.

there is a crib which converts to toddler bed. is it good idea to buy that or one which stays as crib only??

what did u guys buy??

My son has a convertable and think they are the easiest!
Why not pay a little more and get a crib they can use even when they are married!
Mine goes from a crib, to a toddler bed, to a head board and footboard!

Save money and the hassle of having to go out and get a new bed everytime he needs to upgrade!

If you are going to get a convertable I would but the twin bed rails for it now, incase the crib goes discontinued so you will have the pieces together!

This is my sons crib:

Although you may not remember it too well, you were once a little child yourself. And in that time, you caused a lot of mess, a lot of breakage and a whole lot of chaos. Simply put, it is what kids do. They are walking – crawling, initially – destruction areas who love to explore, to try things out and to make noise. This can make things difficult when it comes to buying them things that will last, that will endure exactly what a young child will throw at them throughout life.

If you want to ensure that there will be something left to pass on to your children’s children, a good bet is to buy an oak convertible crib. A baby grows very quickly into a toddler, and a toddler into a strong infant before you know it, and in that time not only will they outgrow a crib and require a real bed – hence the convertible aspect – but they will explore, and experiment. This experimentation can take the form of some fairly destructive behavior – just think back to your childhood – so it is important to make sure their crib is hard-wearing.

Oak is one of the most durable types of wood available, and as such is a very good material from which to make a baby’s crib. Whatever your young terror may wish to throw at it – sometimes literally – an oak convertible crib will be ready to take it. This makes it an ideal investment in the future.

We are expecting our 2nd baby in September & have a 16 month old daughter. They will be sharing a room. Should I put my toddler in a twin bed, or should I buy a convertible crib & convert her when I feel she is ready.
I am really scared she's going to climb out of her bed & get into trouble. She has no problem in her crib now, and has never tried to climb out. Im wondering if buying the convertible crib will be a waste of money.

get a 3-n-1 or 4-n-1 crib. they go from cribs to toddler beds, than you can use the sides to use as headboards for a regular bed. my friend has one and loves it. i put a link to one they have a walmart. i also have a gate on my son's door so he can't wander around at night. i started that after he woke me up around 1 am with every light on in the house, and every roll of toilet paper i had unrolled across the floor.
