\n \tFixed Side Crib <\/span>\n <\/td>\n\n \t8\/10<\/span>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\"Stork
\nThis sleigh style convertible crib has a large drawer at the bottom for easy storage of diapers, baby wipes, clothes, toys and anything else a new mom would need to keep off the floor. Buying a Stork Craft will save having to buy a child bed later on, as it converts from a standard crib to a day bed, then eventually into a regular twin sized bed. To convert it into a full sized bed with a headboard and footboard, metal bed rails will need to be purchased separately. <\/p>\n

It can be used from newborn through age 2. The crib and all its part are made of wood, and the side is fixed for additional stability. The price ranges from $259 to $382, but if any problems occur it has a one-year warranty.

    \n Strengths<\/span><\/p>\n

    Nobody likes scratching their heads in bewilderment trying to assemble something, but the instructions are permanently attached and this crib is designed to be easy to assemble.<\/p>\n

    The fact that it converts from a crib to a child\u2019s bed is a major money saver for parents on a budget who don\u2019t want to have to shell out several hundred more bucks for another bed.<\/p>\n

    This crib is JPMA certified, and it meets or exceeds all U.S. and Canadian standards.<\/p>\n

    The Stork Craft Aspen Stages crib comes in a variety of finishes. <\/p>\n

    Weaknesses<\/span><\/p>\n

    The metal rails to convert the crib to a child\u2019s bed must be purchased separately, so that\u2019s extra money spent when the baby outgrows the crib.<\/p>\n

    The mattress is sold separately, and some parents reported difficulty in finding the right size mattress.<\/p>\n

    Once converted from a crib to a child\u2019s bed, some consumers complain that the guard rail is nonfunctional and does not prevent the child from rolling out of the bed at night.<\/p>\n

    The one-year warranty offered is not as good as those on some other cribs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
