Combo Cribs That Will Save Space and Make Life Easier

By Kim Proulx

Working with a smaller nursery space doesn't mean your baby furniture has to suffer. You can still have the essential baby furniture pieces that will still give you enough space to nurture your precious little bundle. Many of us these days have been accustomed to living in small spaces, especially if you live in an urban area. There's nothing wrong with that. Many of us prefer the convenient and cultured city advantages. The only disadvantage is that the space has become more expensive and a luxury that many of us can't afford.

That is why so many families are wild about Combo Cribs. It's a great baby furniture piece that is a hybrid between a full size crib, although there are mini combo cribs available, changing table, dresser or shelving units. So instead of buying three separate pieces of baby furniture you can have a Combo Crib that has all three pieces built in one, saving you a ton of much needed space and money.

Aside from how much bigger your nursery will appear, the multi-functionality of a Combo Crib will really make the investment worth it. Many Combo Cribs are designed to convert to other types of beds, so when your precious angel outgrows the crib, you can easily change your beautiful crib into a daybed, toddler bed and possibly a full size bed. The changing table/dresser will often detach and can be used as a nightstand or dresser. You will often see extra storage space, such as an attached shelving unit or hidden compartment. Either way, you are guaranteed to find a Combo Crib unit that has the functions you need.

Another benefit of having a Combo Crib is the convenience of having the changing unit and storage attached. Especially during late night diaper changes, since you will only need to take a few steps to the changing table. The diaper change will be so quick your baby may not even wake up! Many of us try not to wake the baby during middle of the night changes and feedings, so turning on minimal lighting is desired, so you don't have to spend hours putting baby back to sleep. All your diaper changing items and clothes are within reach, which is also much safer, so baby never leaves your sight and care.

Here are a few popular Combo Cribs that parents seem to love:
