Certain cribs, like the Babyletto Hudson 4 in 1 and Delta Children Tribeca, can be transformed into a daybed or toddler bed.

The Storkcraft Equinox has one of the tiniest sitting mattress heights in our review which is a good thing when you're a little small or have a petite parent. However, the small height can be a drawback particularly when your child starts pulling herself up and crawling out of her crib. It also has a higher profile than the other cribs in the review, which may make it harder to reach your child at the night.
