\"Carter
\nCarter\u2019s is already well-known as a manufacturer of baby and children\u2019s clothes, and the Carter Manchester 4-in-1 is a good bargain. This crib has four mattress heights, and can be converted to a toddler bed, a day bed and a full size bed using the headboard and footboard. Conversion kits and bed rails are sold separately. It\u2019s made of solid pine and wood veneer, and weights 53.9 pounds. <\/p>\n

The price tag for the Manchester 4-in-1 is $183.99. Some consumer feedback is that it\u2019s sturdy, easy to assemble and wash and it\u2019s a convenient height for shorter parents having to lean over the rail to pick up their baby. As an added convenience, the assembly instructions are online and can be downloaded if they are missing from the package. The instructions point out that when the crib is converted into a toddler bed, it should not be used with children younger than 15 months old. The maximum weight the crib can hold is 50 pounds. The Manchester 4-in-1 is sold at more than a dozen major retailers, including Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Wal Mart, Target, BuyBuy Baby and K mart.
