6 Stylish, Sturdy, and Space-Saving Baby Cribs

Some parents like bassinets but these baby cribs might be a better investment since our babies grow quickly!

Babies grow quickly and before we know it, they’ll be crawling and climbing all sorts of things! But that’s what baby cribs deal with; they offer new parents some peace of mind with the adjustable walls and gaps among the bars to make sure we can see if they’re okay or not. But once they outgrow these baby cribs, they don’t just end up stored away. The brands we picked are usually the ones that are made of such sturdy material, that we can pass them down to our kids when they become parents!

But do take note: the mattresses for these baby cribs are usually sold separately.

1. Cuddlebug Vernon 3-in-1 Convertible Crib

Made from solid Pine wood, the Cuddlebug Vernon 3-in-1 Convertible Crib can handle babies and toddlers up to 50 lbs. This baby crib offers long-time use with its accompanying conversion chart and guide, showing parents how they can transform this baby crib into a day bed or a place to sleep for their toddlers. It also has three adjustment heights for us to make it easy to pick up our babies if they need anything from us. And if our babies are in their teething phase, don’t worry — this has a teething guard!

2. IKEA Myllra Baby Crib

Perfect for small spaces, the IKEA Myllra Baby Crib comes with its own drawer where we can store their sleeping clothes, favorite linen, etc. inside to keep the dust away. The best part is that this crib comes in various colors: mint green, pale pink, and traditional white, making it easy to pass down to the next generation and their homes. It also comes with various fence heights and designs to grow along with our babies as their needs change.

3. Chicco Next2Me Air Crib

Although it looks more like a bassinet, Chicco’s Next2Me Air Crib offers new parents the convenience of being mobile with its built-in wheels and lightweight material. This baby crib’s material is also sturdy enough to handle machine-washing which is a godsend, especially for two fatigued new parents. It also offers a lot of ventilation due to it using more fabric, unlike others that focus more on sturdiness by using wood.

4. Graco Hadley 5-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changer with Drawer

The Hadley 5-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changer with Drawer is truly a great investment especially when we need a lot of storage space for the things we bought during our pregnancy’s nesting phase. Not only does it come with three drawers, but it also comes with two shelves in the back to store bottles, milk formula, and many other things. It keeps messes to a minimum which is something new parents will appreciate especially when they’re living in a condo.

5. Apruva PP-710 Co-Sleeper Playpen

Besides being foldable, it also comes with its own set of wheels, making this baby crib perfect for parents who want to be within arm’s reach of their baby when moving from room to room. But what we love about this one is that it comes with a mosquito net which keeps those pesky bugs away from biting our babies during the rainy season. One of its sides can also slide down and become a co-sleeper!

6. Joie Allura 120

Joie Baby has always been known for their lightweight and easy-to-transport cribs. The Joie Allura 120 is no different with its minimalist design and comes with a detachable bassinet. Its one-button mechanism to fold it up and store it in its carry bag is perfect for parents who are constantly traveling for work or leisure.

Some baby cribs, especially the sturdy ones, become heirlooms to pass down!

Although baby cribs are not cheap, it’s a long-term investment for the family and for the generations after. Some of us even learn later on that the crib our baby is using is the same one that our great-grandparents used for our grandparents, and so on and so forth. Besides, we’d like to think of this as an investment for our babies’ health and safety. Baby cribs are supposed to be the safest place for babies because that’s where and when they are their most defenseless: when they’re fast asleep!
