Convertible Cribs

 

Developed to adapt to changing circumstances as your child matures, convertible cribs can adapt to become a toddler bed as your infant grows. Buying a convertible crib can save you money over time, as well as providing your child with an extended sense of comfort by utilizing the same bed as he or she grows up. By investing in a top quality convertible crib you can save thousands in potential bed replacement costs and ensure continuity in your child’s sleeping quarters. While the cribs are somewhat more expensive at first glance, the small premium more than pays for itself over time as your child graduates to new bed options.

Daybed Configuration


Convertible cribs have become increasingly popular since they offer the ability to convert from a crib into a toddler bed and then a full adult day bed. As a result, you only have to make a single investment in your child’s bedroom furniture rather than worrying about replacement costs over time. Lifetime convertible cribs are designed to fold out into complete twin sized beds, making them ideal for your child’s entire lifecycle stay in your home.


Double Bed Configuration


Round Baby Crib


Designed to save space and provide a more secure environment for your child, round cribs provide a comfortable, complete enclosure for infants of all ages. A growing number of parents in Toronto and throughout North America are opting for premium round cribs which can fit in a wide variety of room layouts and are often safer in certain circumstances. While the round styles tend to be more expensive given their construction, they can provide an effective enclosure for a wide variety of children. Round cribs generally have a single drop opening, and are ideally suited for smaller space environments.



Traditional Infant Cribs


The most common form of infant cribs on the market today is made from durable wooden materials, including the birch wood cribs from our inventory . Even the finest homes in Toronto would welcome our birch wooden crib selections, which offer contemporary styling, safe designs and reinforced materials that make for long lasting durability. These cribs come in two general styles depending on the way they open. The most common form of traditional crib is known as the single side drop where only an individual compartment opens, in contrast to the dual sided drop which is more expensive and ideal for open spaces when both parents need access to the child. For most parents, a traditional infant crib more than suffices to provide a complete solution to keep your baby safe and secure.


Canopy Cribs


Many parents prefer canopy cribs to provide their baby with extra comfort, shade and security over traditional options. Canopy crib sets can be applied to nearly any type of standard style, providing an extensive set of choices for parents who want to add more style or protection to their child’s bedroom setup. The decorative canopy sits atop four posts, adding a unique aesthetic element to the room. In fact, most canopy cribs are produced from traditional cribs with added visual flair so you can upgrade any traditional crib into a canopy with just some minor modifications.


Rocking Baby Crib Sets


Infants are attuned to the natural rocking motion from their mothers, and a rocking baby crib can help them rest, fall asleep and remain at peace during their naps. The cribs utilize either a manual hinge or an automated rocking motion to help soothe your child. While they can be more expensive, the added benefit for the child’s comfort and ease more than makes up for the premium price. Automated rocking cribs can help ensure you child gets a solid night’s sleep, while manual rockers provide an opportunity for you to soothe your child while you read to him or her at night. For infants who have trouble sleeping alone, a rocking crib might be just the solution you’ve been looking for.


Portable Infant Cribs


As more Toronto area families have shifted to smaller home spaces, many parents are opting for smaller portable cribs. These cribs take up less space and provide the flexibility to take on the road for business or family trips. For those who want to be able to take an infant in a trip, having a portable crib can help facilitate the process. The best part about portable cribs is that they can easily move around your home so you can work, cook, clean and do household daily tasks with your child close at hand. For busy parents, portable infant cribs provide an ideal solution to working at home. Combinations of portable cribs feature wheels, foldable frames and collapsible structures which make it significantly easier to move them to new locations.
