Although all cribs are compliant with strict safety guidelines set by the federal government, there's a lot of variations between cribs in terms of design and construction as well as overall function. The type of slats used and the mattress's height and other aspects all impact how easy it is to use the crib and the length of time you can use it for.
Some cribs, such as the Babyletto Hudson 4 in 1 and Delta Children Tribeca, can be converted into a daybed or toddler bed. Most require an additional purchase to complete the conversion. This could be a major drawback if your plan is not to utilize the conversion kit but you want a crib enough to last through multiple children.
The Storkcraft Equinox has one of the tiniest sitting mattress heights in our test which is a good thing if you're short or have a petite parent. However, the small height can also be a disadvantage, especially when your tot begins to pull herself up and crawling out of her crib. It has a higher profile than the other cribs in this review, which makes it harder to reach your child at night.
