Why a convertible crib in 2025

• One product, several stages: from nest/cradle and co-sleeper to classic crib, playpen and even junior bed or sofa.
• Long-term value: reduce subsequent purchases and maintain the coherence of the child's room.
• Quick adaptation: easily switch between configurations with your baby's real needs.
• Aesthetic integration: oval/round models use space efficiently and visually "sweeten" the room.

Common risks & how to prevent them

• Incorrect assembly: go through the manual step by step and periodically check all fasteners; use only approved parts and accessories.
• Inappropriate mattress size: the mattress should be firm and fit the module exactly; avoid side gaps.
• Unsecured co-sleeping: align the height correctly, use the dedicated kit and lock the wheels every time.
• Non-compliant accessories: breathable textiles, without elements that may obstruct breathing; comply with the standards in force.

Our methodology (2024–2025)

• Safety & materials: solid wood (alder/beech), water-based paints, rounded edges; references to standards such as EN 71-3 (paints) and EN 716 for cots.
• Real functionality: useful transformations, not just theoretical; ease of transition between stages.
• User experience: clear assembly, easy maintenance, mobility, ergonomics (slatted frame heights).
• Long-term value: total cost of ownership compared to years of use.
• Feedback: CameraBebelusului.ro internal evaluation (frequent questions from parents, returns, recurrence of recommendations).
