They come in a variety of shapes and sizes with a larger variety of features. In a nursery, the crib has the longest life span because of its durability. Some can even convert to toddler beds using the same mattress. A good crib, you will find, is a place where you can keep your baby safe while sleeping or taking some time for yourself. Cribs come with bars to make sure the baby does not climb out. You can also do this by lowering the floor. They should be kept sturdy and intact prevent it from rolling over.
