Have you noticed how baby furniture holds such sentimental memories that we’re sometimes loath to give it all away? But imagine if you could use some pieces of furniture for a few more years! Something like a crib can be reused for many years to come and you never need to buy another bed set for your toddler. Take a look at how you can do that:

4-1 cribs

A 4-1 convertible crib with some adjustments can become a toddler bed and be used as a day bed. A 4-1 crib like the Harlow crib from Babyletto comes with a toddler rail that makes it safe for the baby. With different mattress height positions, you don’t have to stretch too much to take of your baby’s needs. It’s easy to assemble and is lead-free with a non-toxic finish.

4-1 cribs have adjustable heights to accommodate your baby’s growing needs. With the toddler rail, you don’t have to worry about your baby falling off or rolling off when he begins to sit up, crawl or when he tries to pull himself up to a standing position. The cribs have rounded safe panels like the Jay 4-in-1 convertible cribs that have an arched back design. You can even pick out a crib that looks like a traditional sleigh. Conversion rails are available separately if you want to buy them later.

Butterfly bedding for babies

Check out baby bedding, butterfly prints from Jo Jo Designs for when your toddler starts demanding his own bed. The butterfly bedding 5-piece set includes a pillow sham, a pillow case, fitted sheet, flat sheet and a comforter. They all have an appealing quilted design with embroidery and appliqué accents.

If you don’t want to go for an entire set, you can choose mix and match butterfly fitted sheets in crisp white poplin. Or go for soft, Argington Organic twin bedding cotton sets. Kids will love the environmentally friendly sheets and pillows that have butterfly prints done with low impact dyes using a low impact printing process.
