Different Crib Types

When choosing a new crib for a baby's nursery space, there are lots of options to consider. The different types of baby cribs include classic cribs, fixed side cribs, convertible cribs and cribs with storage. Select a type of crib that meets your personal taste, wants and needs, and start decorating the room with style and function.

Classic cribs

A classic crib features a simple construction and design. It has four sides of equal height, width and length, and cribs are available in different styles and finishes. A crib is made of either wood or metal and ranges in different finishes, such as glazed cherry wood, matte walnut wood, black metal or silver iron.

Fixed side cribs

When planning on utilizing as much space as possible, opt for a fixed side crib. A fixed side crib lines up against the wall, saving on space in the center of the room. Fixed side cribs are available in different designs, whether you are looking for a classic, country, vintage or contemporary design.

Convertible cribs

Convertible cribs are used in two ways, as cribs for babies and as beds for small toddlers and children. When babies graduate to their young toddler years, simply transform the crib into a bed. This versatile design enables parents to use it for many years to come.

Cribs with storage

There are cribs with storage space, whether on the sides of the crib or underneath. Popular designs include cribs with shelving on the sides or drawers on the bottom. Place and organize everyday items, such as diapers, toys, clothes and bottles.

Shop for the right crib that provides both style and function. Create a space that is warm, cozy and comfortable.
