Crib conversion kits are one of the most convenient, cost-effective and eco-friendly products to come onto the baby market in recent years. There are cribs with crib conversion kits that are made from eco-friendly materials in a sustainable fashion, as well as organic mattresses and bedding, so you can make it even greener if you want to. The best thing about these cribs with conversion kits is that they are flexible enough to last from infancy to the teen years with a few modifications and additions. But how do you use them?

Basically, cribs with conversion kits offer four distinct phases that follow your child through the stages of his or her developing life. The first phase is the standard crib phase with an adjustable height mattress to serve as a bassinet, which can be lowered as your baby develops more motor control and physical abilities. Then you can convert the crib into a toddler bed by taking off the front side of the convertible bed and adding the ¾ guardrail to keep him or her from falling out. At the third phase, it can then turn into a toddler day bed when he or she is old enough to sleep through the night without falling out.

The final phase with crib conversion kits will require the purchase of rails and slats to turn the daybed into a full-sized bed. You can even find kits that include drawers to add underneath the bed for storage. This is much more affordable than going out and buying a new bed every time your child grows into another stage, and it is much better for the earth because you don’t have to waste as much. The only additional items will be the rails, slats and full-sized mattress. Overall, transition cribs make excellent investments for parents who are both cost-conscious and concerned with protecting the environment.
