Mini Crib vs Regular Crib

What is the main difference?  From what I can tell a mini convertible crib will covert to a twin bed and a regular convertible crib to a full size - so is the the only difference, the mini crib is a little smaller?

    I thought mini cribs were just that -- smaller cribs.  Like the size of a small playpen, but made of wood and semi-permanent/not collapsible.

    I don't think any crib converts to a full sized bed!  That would be HUGE.  Kate has a regular convertible crib from PBK and it is not even full twin sized.  My parents have a mini crib, and it is more the size of a pack n play.  Kate barely fits it in anymore at 19 months (she is TALL though...35 inches).

    I think that convertible cribs usually do convert to full - you use the headboard and footboard and buy a full mattress. ?I don't know how big a mini crib would convert to, but you would probably have to look for the correct size sheets since they wouldn't be standard size.

    Oh!  I get it now.  I thought you just swapped out the railings on the crib for bedrails but used the same mattress. I think they call that the "toddler bed" and that is all we were planning on using her crib fora nd is all the conversion kit does).  I'll just buy a regular headboard/footboard when she's ready for an actual bed.  I don't even get how the one we have would work....it is not full sized so a bigger mattress would stick out the sides.
