Planning on converting your convertible crib??

Munire Urban Convertible Crib

It is no doubt that the crib market is flooded with convertible cribs, 3 in 1 cribs, or grow with me cribs. What ever name you want to call it…the crib you buy today is an investment piece of furniture that will be with your child well in to their teen years or even beyond. Therefore, you want to make sure the crib you are buying is made to withstand your child’s childhood! When selecting a convertible crib make sure you really like the styling of the head and foot boards. It is these two pieces that will make the full size bed you will use later. Most retailers will have a picture of what a crib will look like made into a full size bed. Some crib manufactures will include the full size rails in the purchase price of the crib. However, the majority do not.  Most rails are quite affordable and run well under $200. It is not uncommon for manufactures to discontinue a style or finish with very little warning or notice to the retailer. I have seen it happen so many times when a customer purchased their crib in the hope of making it into a toddler or full size bed just to be disappointed to find out that the rails are no longer made or the finish has been discontinued. Make sure you ask your favorite store what part, if any, of the conversion pieces are included in the price of your crib.  So please consider ordering your toddler guard rails or full size rails with your crib.
