babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 Convertible Crib

The mid-priced crib that gives the most years for the money. Four mattress heights let you start high for easy lifting and lower it as your baby learns to sit and stand, and the kit that turns it into a toddler bed and then a daybed comes in the box, so there is nothing more to buy. It is solid New Zealand pine, GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions, and sells for about $400 to $600 depending on the finish. It does not convert to a full-size bed, so plan on a new bed eventually. At 54 pounds assembled, it is sturdy, but it stays in one room.
