How We Selected Cribs With Changing Tables
Congratulations, you’ve narrowed your crib search down to include those with changing tables. It’s easy to get confused by the sheer number of them.
At first glance they may all look similar and how can you easily tell what the differences are? While they are alike in a lot of ways, there are several differences that help them stand out against their competition. Here is a list of those things.
Bed Conversions
While all the cribs do convert into other types of beds, those options may not all be alike. For example, the Dream On Me Jayden and the Dream On Me Casco are both mini cribs that convert into mini daybeds and thinner twin beds, they don’t convert into toddler beds or full-size beds.
All of the full-size cribs convert into daybeds and full-size beds but not all convert into toddler beds. That’s why some are 4-in-1 and some are 5-in-1. For most of the cribs, the rails for the bed conversions are sold separately.
Drawers vs. Shelves
Storage is important when considering these cribs since babies need a lot of things. While some of the changing tables had only drawers or only shelves, we best liked the ones that had both for maximum storage. The Delta Children Princeton and the Dream On Me Brody both have the most with 3 drawers and 3 shelves.
The trundle drawers were also a favorite of ours because you can never have enough storage. Even if they don’t come with trundle drawers, several of the companies have an optional rollaway trundle drawer that you can purchase separately.
Size
We selected a wide range of sizes in our list of cribs. They range from small, unassuming mini cribs to giant, stately full-size cribs like the Strokcraft Portofino.
The mini cribs are a great option if you have a small space and don’t want it taken up by a full-size crib. A lot of parents who reviewed them said they loved the smaller size while their babies were small. As their children got bigger, however, some wished they had opted for a full-size crib instead because their children seemed to outgrow the mini crib.
The mini cribs were shorter and closer to the ground as well, so if you are shorter, this might be a good option for you.
Something to keep in mind when thinking about size is that a big, full-size crib won’t be able to fit through a standard doorway, so if you were to ever switch bedrooms you would have to disassemble the crib. Whereas the mini cribs can slide from room to room.
Another difference in size is the changing table. Some have a standard 32-inch changing pad but some have non-standard 24-inch changing pads. It’s difficult to find and purchase a smaller than standard size changing pad, so you’re essentially stuck with the smaller pad that comes included. It’s also difficult to find pad covers for non-standard sizes, so you wouldn’t be able to put a cover on unless you were handy and could make one yourself.
Mattress
The full-size cribs don’t come with mattresses included because there is such a variety that it’s better to choose and purchase your own. Any full-size crib mattress will fit a standard crib. There are all kinds, some mattresses are just made of thick padding, while others have springs. You can even get gel and memory foam crib mattresses.
The mini cribs come with a 1-inch mattress pad included. You can either use that by itself or on top of a purchased mattress. Although it’s harder to find a mini crib mattress than a standard size and you won’t have as many options.
Material
Most of the cribs we reviewed are made of solid wood, New Zealand Pine being the most popular. The next most common material is composite or pressboard.
The material is important to know because it affects the weight of the crib. The solid wood cribs are very heavy and will need at least two people to lift the box and assemble. However, they’re also very solid and sturdy cribs.
The composite cribs are more lightweight and can be carried and assembled with just one person with minimal problems. However, the composite cribs didn’t feel as solid and heavy-duty.
Both are completely safe, it just comes down to personal preference.
FAQs – Cribs With Changing Tables
What is the best-rated baby crib?
There are a few ways in which we determined the highest-rated.
Both the Dream on Me Jayden and the Dream On Me Anna are Greenguard Gold Certified, which means they went through and passed rigorous testing against VOCs.
The Storkcraft brand as a whole won the Women’s Choice Award for the best baby furniture. The Storkcradt cribs we rated are the Portofino, Pacific, and Steveston.
The most highly rated crib we reviewed was the Delta Children Abbey with 85% 5-star ratings by parents who have purchased and used this crib.
Can you take the changing table off the crib?
On some of the crib combos, the changing table is permanently part of the crib and is not detachable, even as it converts to a daybed and full-size bed. Although, on other cribs, the changing table is detachable and can be removed and used later as a stand-alone shelf or nightstand.
Is a crib/changing table combo better than a normal crib?
A lot of people prefer the changing table combo to a normal crib. It takes up less space since the changing table is part of the crib and costs less money since there is no need to buy a separate changing table. Others, however, prefer just a standard crib because they don’t use a changing table and don’t want to feel restricted in only having one space to change diapers.
If you prefer a normal crib, check out this list of the best baby cribs.
Something else to think about is the weight limit for the changing tables is 50 pounds. Your baby could still be in diapers after they reach that weight limit but the changing table no longer can be used to change diapers. However it isn’t a good idea to remove the changing pad and use it as a shelf until your child stops pulling up and grabbing things, otherwise, anything you put on that shelf will be within arm’s reach of your little one.
What about safety?
Safety is always the number one goal when we review anything for children. It’s important to make sure that current safety guidelines are known and followed. There are crib standards that should always be followed put out by the CPSC.
Also, all the cribs we reviewed have been tested to ensure standards for ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA are met.
All of the cribs we reviewed had adjustable heights for lowering the mattress which keeps your baby safe as they grow and start to pull up and stand. Keep in mind that whatever you keep on the changing table will be within reach of your baby once they can stand. So keeping that area clear is a good idea, even if you’re not using it anymore for diaper changes.
While it might be tempting to purchase a used crib, it’s not advised since not all cribs go through rigorous testing and become certified the way that these new cribs are. Also with older cribs the paint may start to wear a little and can easily be chipped or bitten off the rails by small children. The hardware might also start to loosen over time and can become a safety hazard causing it to be not as solid and sturdy as a newly assembled crib. Be sure to steer clear of heirloom cribs made before 1978 as ones made before then contain lead and lead-based paint.
With older cribs, you also have drop-sides which are not recommended. Those have all been recalled and are actually illegal to sell. The mechanism that allows them to drop is considered dangerous and even if you’ve used one before, you shouldn’t use it again and should destroy it.
It’s also important to look at the crib slats. Older cribs didn’t have the regulations that are in place today and they may not be as safe. Current regulations state that crib slats should be no more than 6 centimeters wide. This prevents getting their arms, legs, or heads stuck through them. If you can get your fist through the slat, then it’s not up to code and shouldn’t be used.
Another thing you may not have thought about recalls. While it’s not often, recalls do happen, unfortunately. No matter what crib you choose, it’s a good idea to keep informed through the years to make sure it hasn’t been recalled for some reason.
The last point I will make about safety has to do with teething rails. As soon as your child starts to pull up on their own to stand, their little mouths will be at the perfect height for chewing on the rails. With the wood finish or paint on there (while non-toxic), you don’t want them chewing on it, so I highly recommend purchasing teeth rails to slide onto your crib. Plus it helps keep the crib in its best shape.
