can i use as a crib for infant

My baby is 2 months old. She has slept in this every night so far. Right now I'm using it on stage 1 bassinet. But as she grows I will switch to stage 2, then take the bassinet out and use it as a crib that way until I feel like I can move her out of my bedroom. I would think you could use this up until 18 months old as an every night crib. But it is small, so after that I think you would want a bigger size for older infants to have more sleeping room.

No. That has proven to be unsafe and newer cribs are no longer using that design. I have 5 kiddos and I purchased this crib for baby #5. The front side is lower than an older style crib's front panel when it is up, if that makes sense. I have used this from newborn through toddler stages and it is super. You won't be disappointed! It's a bargain for the price...it is beautiful.

Very suitable for newborns, we use it in a portable crib.I don't believe you are supposed to use it for a pack n play, would not fit exactly as it needs to for safety.

Side rails are not necessary to convert the crib into a toddler bed. All you do is remove the side(s) of the crib.

We put it in our daughter's crib before she was even born. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be suitable for an infant... Our daughter is 7 and still has it hooked on her headboard b/c the music is so peaceful!

I have not tried, but I would think so. This is a standard size portable crib. The folding "mattress" that comes with it is pretty terrible, even for a folding mattress! It is basically several hard slats of wood/cardboard with a this piece of foam over them. Somehow my daughter slept great, but I also plan to buy a real mattress before we use crib again.

Probably ok for short term use as a bed although the pad on the bottom of the Pack and Play is not very thick. Also, you would have to lean over a good distance each time you put the infant down.

I'd say it would be difficult with a crib. It's better with a toddler's or twin size bed.

You can set the mattress on the high level for a younger baby and set it lower for a toddler. I just LOVE this crib for my grandchildren!!!

Any standard crib mattress will work (we used a Sealey orthopedic), but when you try to covert it to the toddler bed it requires a larger size mattress that is no longer made, and is impossible to find. I have looked all over the internet trying to find the mattress that this crib requires. I found one site that carried it, it was discontinued, and it had a list price over $200. As I listed in my other review, this a great crib until you want to use the convertible option.

Only if you can get it 3' above baby's reach. Some cribs have tall head boards. Make sure it is out of baby's reach once he/she starts to stand, reach, and crawl.

Yes, it can be used as a bassinet. The sides are breathable. I used it for all 3 of my children, as both a bassinet and cosleeper. It really is great.

you will need a mini crib or portable crib mattress (they are the same size)

absolutely...my great-grandson is 3 months old and does fine with it and i know of a 6 month old that sleeps on it all the time in place of a crib.

Probably that mattress can be placed at two levels....higher for an infant and lower for toddler. We keep this crib at our house for when my grandson visits. Collapses nicely when not in use. Very happy with crib.

Unfortunately, I don't know yet. We have only used it as a crib so far. Sorry!
