In a convertible crib it is essential to make sure the mattress's height is adjusted as your baby grows.

This feature is offered on a variety of cribs, but it is more prevalent in premium and deluxe models. We suggest you look for a model with this capability when shopping for a crib, as it will be helpful throughout your baby's sleep journey.
