If you have a reasonable area intended for your kid’s furniture in a separate room or going to share a large bedroom then a standard size crib can be a good idea. Full-size cribs provide a lot of room for your little one and they are more long-term value as you can use them until the baby is 2 years old.

One of the most popular options for modern baby nurseries are convertible cribs. These cribs are extremely functional as they can provide a smooth transition for a baby from a crib to a toddler bed and beyond. Aside from that they are able to be converted into day beds, toddler beds and some of them even full-size beds, which makes them a timeless option.

Another popular version of crib is a bassinet. They are lightweight sleeping options, much smaller than the other types of cribs. Due to their smaller size, bassinets are a good proposition for smaller apartments or lofts. They don’t take up much floor space and are easier to move from room to room. If you opt for this option it is important to consider that they are good up to 6 months of the age. Once your child starts rolling over, this facility is not quite safe any more.

Portable cribs are ideal for travel as they can be packed up and transported by car or other means of transport quite easily. Like bassinets, portable cribs tend to be very soft and lightweight, often made with breathable material. Most of them have an  additional storage bag. Travel cribs are not recommended for long use or as a permanent sleeping solution and they are outgrown by the children tremendously fast.
