A crib is one of the biggest purchases you'll make for your nursery. There are a variety of options available whether you're looking for an elegant crib with a minimalist design or one that converts into a daybed or toddler Mini Cot Bed.

Before you buy, check for these characteristics:

1. Stokke Sleepi Bed

The crib is the most crucial piece of baby equipment that parents must consider when they are acquiring the first baby. It's the place where your child will sleep, and it should be functional, beautiful and, most importantly secure and soothing for your little one. Convertible cribs are great because they will grow with your baby from their earliest years until the time they move to the big kid bed. This will ease sleep changes and ensure your child has a safe and comfortable sleeping space throughout their childhood.

Stokke Sleepi beds are unique cribs with four-in-one design that grows with your child. It features a stunning curved design that's reminiscent of a womb-like space. The mattress is breathable to allow maximum air circulation and comes with a washable cover that's hypoallergenic.

This crib is also made sustainably and is compliant with all British and European safety standards. It's more expensive than co-sleeper cribs or small cots but it has the benefit of growing with your child until five years old, provided you purchase the Junior Extension Kit at the same time.

The only issue is that the Stokke Sleepi Bed doesn't come with a mattress, so you'll need to purchase one separately (which can be expensive) but it's worth it as this is among the top cribs for your baby.
