Mini Cribs Aren't Just Cute, They're Practical

Many parents don't know about the many baby crib options that are available to them these days. When it comes to buying baby beds, your first instinct is to look at traditional, standard baby cribs. Although having a baby crib is completely necessary, a full size crib may not be as practical for families with limited space or rooms, and may be too expensive at the time for their nursery budget. Instead of burning a hole in your bank account, you can easily find a baby bed that is less expensive, but will not sacrifice the quality, safety and style.

Today, more and more parents are opting for mini/portable baby cribs. Built exactly like a standard size, mini/portable cribs have fairly smaller dimensions that provide the same level of care and safety. There are many benefits that parents prefer when purchasing a mini/portable crib. Here are some advantages of mini/portable cribs that may make this baby bed option a better fit for your family than a standard size crib.

• Cost-Effective: You can spend 30-50% less than what you would normally spend on a standard size crib. Use the money that you save from purchasing a less expensive crib and use it on diapers, necessities and clothes. You will need a lot of them!
• Saves Space: This is the case for many families that need to conserve space or decide to place the baby crib in their bedroom. Mini/portable cribs are lighter and can be easily moved or transported.
• Convertible: Many mini/portable cribs will convert to a toddler bed and even twin bed when your child is ready, which will save you money since you will not need to buy another bed for 2-3 years.
• Portable: You can find mini/portable cribs that have wheels on the bottom, making it incredibly convenient to move around the nursery or throughout the house. You can also find ones that fold easily for small storage spaces and are also fabulous for travel.
• Baby Bedding: Since the mini/portable cribs are smaller, the baby bedding will be smaller and less expensive. You can find several collections of mini/portable baby bedding sets online for a boy or girl.

Mini/portable baby cribs are a fantastic alternative to standard size cribs. Your best bet is to assess your space, finances and needs to see if a mini/portable crib would be a good fit for your family. Your nursery will have a fantastic nursery furniture piece and your precious little bundle will literally "sleep like a baby."
