Cribs

Quality baby cribs should be constructed with sides that contain rails which are at least twenty-six inches higher that the top surface of the mattress.
Quality cribs are typically designed with multiple position mattress support systems which can be adjusted to accommodate your infant as he grows in size. Look for a crib that can be converted into a toddler bed. Quality baby furniture, including cribs should be made from mostly solid wood and shouldn't contain particle board or veneers.
