Question on cribs

SweetBijou

Good morning!

 We are starting to look at cribs and other baby furniture, though we won't be buying for a couple of months.  Has anyone heard of these cribs?  They are 'mini' cribs from Buy Buy Baby that convert into twin beds.  The twins' bedroom is on the smaller side and a window takes up much of one wall while the closet takes up much of the other.

Here is the link:  https://www.buybuybaby.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=121231&RN=7156& (hopefully this link works).  Try this one if the first one doesn't work:  https://www.amazon.com/Ethan-Convertible-Cherry-Nursery-Smart/dp/B002JXASAI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1270736073&sr=1-4

We are going to go to BBB this weekend and check it out as well as other cribs, but thought I would check here to see if anyone has these, or has done any research on them.  The reviews I've read said that babies sleep from 2-3 years comfortably, at what time, the crib can be converted to a twin.

Should I not even bother looking at this and just go for the full size cribs that convert into full size beds?  I certainly want what is best for my babies. 

 Thanks so much!

i think that crib looks great. we ordered the stokke cribs for the same reason, because they are lower profile and wouldn't look overwhelming in the nursery.

Thanks for the feedback!  The stokke cribs look really nice.  I'm looking forward to seeing the furniture in person this weekend!

 The only thing I have heard (negatively) about the mini cribs is that bedding is tough to find....??

 Good luck!

My concern would be trying to find bedding and since I love my ultimate crib sheets, I probably wouldn't be a happy camper.  We decided to go for cribs that don't convert to double beds (IKEA Gulliver cribs) because I couldn't see the need to having two of them.  I figure we'll just get new twin frames or bunk beds when we get that far.  Our cribs convert to toddler beds so we'll hopefully have a little bit of time to decide.
