Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Three positions adjustable mattress height makes it compatible with your baby.
- Kidz Geek
This crib has different height adjustments so you can lower the mattress as your baby starts to grow and learns to stand and pull up on the side of the crib.
- BoosterWP Reviews
Fully certified and best suited for a newborn, the mattress can be adjusted to 3 different levels and the crib can be converted to a toddler bed, daybed and full sized bed.
- Travel Crib Reviews
The baby crib features three adjustable mattress positions, and can be converted into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed with a beautifully designed headboard and footboard.
- Net Parents
The crib has three adjustable mattresses. The crib can support other mattresses designed for babies or toddlers, such as baby foam mattresses.
- Little One Mag
There is a three position, mattress height adjustment setting for even more convenience.
- Adversify
This convertible crib can be used on kids as early as newborn phase. You can take advantage of the four levels of mattress height so you will not have a problem getting your baby in and out of the crib during the first few months. As they start becoming mobile and learn to move around, you can lower the mattress height until the bottom most part and prevent them from climbing out and falling off of the crib.
- Parents Need To Know
With the Graco Benton, you get a sturdy, solidly constructed bed for your baby that won’t put a huge hole in your pocket.
- A Web To Know
This crib not only meets federal safety regulations, it also adheres to the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) standards.
- Parenting Pod
The bed has 5 conversion options. It can be a crib, toddler bed, day bed, and full-sized bed. The full-sized bed comes with the two options of either having a footboard or not. It also has an adjustable mattress.
- Best Mom Products
The mattress can adjust in three positions depending on your child heights
- Best Care Life Reviews
This bed meets all standards and is JPMA certified, so you won’t have to worry about the safety of your little one in this bed.
- top9rated
It meets or exceeds all standards of ASTM International and U.S. CPSC safety standards. It is also JPMA certified. All the finishes are non-toxic and the crib is lead and phthalate free.

What reviewers didn't like

Some of the parents reported that the baby’s leg sometimes get caught between the slats.
- Kidz Geek
It is very sturdy, but in use the paint can chip which reduces its life a bit.
- Travel Crib Reviews
Conversion kid not included and has to be purchased separately
- Net Parents
No wheels for quick transport
- Little One Mag
There were some complaints about parts missing during assembly.
- Adversify
Perhaps the only downside to this one is that it has very little space underneath to tuck any items in so the bottom is not ideal for storage. You might want to get a separate dresser which you can put at the side instead.
- Parents Need To Know
Does not include a toddler rail
- A Web To Know
You’ll need to purchase a bed frame for the larger beds.
- Parenting Pod
The crib does not come with a toddler rail or a day bed rail. Those pieces can be bought separately.
- Best Mom Products
Adjustable mattress sold separately.
- Best Care Life Reviews
Conversions require additional parts to be purchased, and this crib does not come with the mattress, so those will be additional expenses.
- top9rated
Sometimes crib arrived broken.
- Better Sleep Baby
