Sleigh Baby Crib
The sleigh crib is a more traditional style that remains extremely popular even today. In fact, the variety of these cribs available on the market continues to expand as companies get more creative with unique features that tailor the crib to each individual customer.
For example, you can now purchase sleigh cribs that are hand painted with designs and color schemes that match the decorations in your baby’s room. These of course will cost a little more than just purchasing a regular sleigh baby crib, but it shows the versatility that this style of bedding can bring into your home.
Since the end pieces of the crib are solid wood instead of the slats with spaces that other types of cribs have, great creativity goes into the style of these pieces. Even if it is not hand painted to your own unique design or theme, you will find that many sleigh cribs have unique stylistic features that set it apart from others on the market.
Also, sleigh baby cribs are no longer just for infants or small toddlers. It used to be that the crib was taken down or passed on to the next baby once a toddler learned how to crawl over the edge and get out on their own, but now you can purchase a convertible sleigh crib that remains with one child until they are grown and out in the world on their own. At that point it can even become a full sized guest bed for empty nesters.
The convertible sleigh baby crib will transition from an infant crib to a toddler bed and then to a full sized bed. Whether the 3 in 1 sleight crib has a full sized head and foot board depends on the make and model chosen.
One of the most popular brands is the Angel Line 3 in 1 sleigh cribs. It converts to a day bed perfect for toddlers and then into a full size sleigh styled bed. It is sold for a rather reasonable price, especially since it includes the guard rail for the toddler bed that comes as a separate purchase with most other brands.
The Emily sleigh crib collection is another popular choice that is sold within the same price range. Most of the models can be used as a crib, toddler bed, or full sized bed with header and footer included.
The sleigh crib may be one of the more traditional styles but it continues to keep up with the times and offer more advanced styling that keep the interest of modern day parents.
