We bought a convertible crib for #1 and I had never considered a drop-side one. Anything that has moving parts around an infant makes me nervous. I guess I was right in that worry. 32 infants have died since 2000 directly from the cribs, which can pose a strangulation or suffocation hazard. If you already have one, see if you can take it back (if it's older, it may have been recalled anyway). If you haven't bought a crib yet, then make sure to not get one with moving parts. And if you're short and are worried about being able to reach your baby, there are cribs that are lower to the ground :).

Convertible beds look so awesome! Why would you want to buy something that will only be good for the first year or so of your child's life anyway? You best hope you have lots of kids to get your money's worth. The convertible beds will be good for at least 13 years...unless your baby has a HUGE growth spurt. See, I learn something new every day reading your blog!
