Cribs
Delta Children Frankie 4-in-1 Convertible Crib
Our take
A sturdy, GREENGUARD Gold and JPMA certified crib for under $200, with adjustable mattress heights and a two-year warranty. The pine scratches easily and conversion kits cost extra.

Consider instead: Babyletto Yuzu if you want every conversion included.
Before you buy
Do you need it?Must-have A crib is the long-term safe sleep space, and a convertible model can become a toddler bed.
Cost per monthAbout $5.25 a month over a typical 36 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Secondhand?Secondhand with checks. Only if it was made after June 2011, when the current federal crib standard took effect, and has all its original hardware. Never use a drop-side crib.
