What Is The Best Convertible Crib?
Like most other manufacturers Bassett now makes convertible cribs. The company’s latest collection owes much of its design inspiration from older American country styles. For, those who love simple, Cottage, New England or Shaker styles, Bassett Convertible cribs will pull at the heart strings.
Harking back to traditional American furniture styles seems to sit well with this Virginia based company. Unlike many baby furniture manufacturers, the company still makes its cribs in the United States using only the finest hardwoods and craftsmanship. Inevitably, many parents won’t be buying a Bassett crib, but for those who like or yearn for good-old-fashioned, simple American furniture they will appreciate the designs of many of the Bassett convertible cribs.
Using traditional designs and good materials is one thing, but Bassett convertible cribs are also made using the latest technology. Not only does this help to make a Bassett affordable whilst still being of the highest quality, it also means that each piece of nursery furniture meets and exceeds industry standards. All its convertibles have Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification, which helps to ensure a baby sleeps safely and that parents can sleep safe in the knowledge that no harm will come their little one.
A personal favourite of mine is the Sorelle Cottage 4-in-1. Its overall look and restrained styling means that it could fit just as equally well in a modern nursery or one that harks back to previous times. The spindles are plain and square-edged. Likewise, the foot rail is straight and the headboard is crafted of simple wainscoting. The rail on the headboard is curved which softens its overall appearance. The finish is either in white or French white.
The names used in the various collections give an idea of what to expect. The Cottage Pine collection is based on American country designs. There’s a wainscot panel on the headboard. The legs are curved but simple which is reflected in the gentle curve of the back. The slats are also simple affairs. This is a 3-in-1 crib so it can be converted to a day bed – with this model there’s only a headboard; no footboard when made into a bed.
