Build Quality - in the past this was one of the biggest issues, but today it is less so. A baby crib may be discounted in price, but it stills needs to stand up to its intended use and be fit for purpose. If at all possible, shake the baby crib.

A nice benefit of convertible baby cribs is that you don't have the added expense of buying new furniture to accommodate your growing child.
The convertible cribs usually features static sides with no moving parts. At first the convertible crib is probably more costly than a drop side crib, but because it can be converted to a toddler, daybed, twin or full size bed in the long run you will be saving money as you will not have to buy a new bed and can still use the other pieces of furniture. - 30224
