A 3-in-1 converts from crib to toddler bed to day bed - many also have storage drawers. A lifetime does this but will also serve as a full size bed.

Look for quality of materials and construction when deciding on the best baby crib to buy. A good one is made from solid wood - usually pine, beech or birch. Some brands further employ veneers for certain finishes. Also, the best have hidden hardware - moving metal parts, nuts and bolts etc.

Any well made baby crib will carry some sort of warranty. The industry norm is a 1 year limited warranty with some companies offering a longer period. Before you buy, ask about spare parts. Does the manufacturer provide them in case they should break? If not, this is a sign of a lack of commitment to customer care, so don't buy their products.

The best baby crib is the one that best suits your needs; once you're sure of what these are, you'll be able to make the right decision on your purchase.
