A sleigh crib- an exquisite convertible crib

A sleigh crib looks really elegant in a nursery, especially at Chrustmas. This convertible crib saves you hundreds of dollars because it easily converts to a toddler bed when the toddler is old enough to start trying to climb out over the rails. When you have this baby crib for an infant, you can really take advantages of the fact that the mattress has four adjustable heights. Use the highest height when you first put the infant in the bed, and as he/she grows, you can keep lowering the mattress down.

The rails of this designer baby crib are such that you only have to use one hand to lower the drop side. This lets you keep the infant or toddler in your arms when you want to put him/her in the baby crib to go to sleep. The rounded design of the baby crib, such as the Da Vinci or Pali baby crib, gives it the appearance of a sleigh.

Childcraft and Storkcraft are other manufacturers that manufacture convertible cribs. These cribs have the standard size mattress, so you don't have to look for custom bedding. Choose sheets, a quilt and a baby blanket in exciting designs that match the gender of the infant or unisex designs, such as Noah's Ark bedding with many delightful little aninals all over it. You can have the matching covers for the bumper pads as well as the toppers for the window and the wallpaper border for a fully coordinated nursery.

Whatever bedding you do choose to compliment your convertible baby crib, you have to make sure it fits the mattress snugly. Make sure you have the ends tucked right in around the mattress. This is why a sheet set for a baby crib has elastic all around the edge and there are many designs that have velcro to keep them in place. The same thing applies to the quilt and baby blanket. This, too, needs to be tucked around the bottom edge of the mattress so that it only comes to about the chest of the infant or toddler. This keeps the infant or toddler from being able to pull the blanket up over his/her head.
