mini vs. standard crib

Hi Ladies! I just ventured over here from the 2nd tri board to ask a question that I'm sure has been asked before, so I apologize!

What, exactly, is the difference between a mini crib and a standard crib?  I found a mini crib that says it fits a standard size crib mattress, so what would be "mini" about it?  I assume that if a standard mattress would fit, so would the bedding, right?

TIA!

I'm not exactly sure...I do know that mini cribs can convert to twin beds while standard cribs can convert to full size beds.  Hope that little bit of info helps.  If the mini crib you found has a standard mattress I would assume that it fits standard bedding too.

I'm curious to see the mini crib you found that fits a standard size mattress and sheets.  Could you attach a link?  TIA!

I found it at Target.com.  It's the Riley Mini Crib.  Here's the link:

Hmm... I just looked up the same crib at BRU and it says it comes with a mattress, and that only "mini-crib" bedding should be used.  I guess Target just doesn't know what they're talking about.
