Crib and Changer Units
Updated March 08, 2014.
In light of new standards for crib safety, parents may be looking for some safer options for their nursery. Combination crib and changer pieces are becoming more popular for several reasons. Many parents appreciate the practical design, while others may be looking for furniture for small nurseries. Here are some great options for crib and changer nursery furniture that meets a wide range of budgets.
The Delta Dakota Crib and Changer features clean lines and a warm cider colored wood. At a reasonable price range, this crib and changer can be good value for the money.

Though similar to the Delta Dakota, the Shelby Crib and changer has a few differences. It has curved lines rather than the straight lines of the Dakota. It also is much bigger than the Dakota, so may not be the best choice if space is an issue. Also, it is available in three finishes: cherry, expresso, and white. With the added options, comes a slightly higher price-tag, but not by much.
An advantage over the Dakota is that parents may have an easier time finding matching furniture pieces such as baby dressers and armoires. Refer to the Delta Dakota's list of pros and cons for insights into the Shelby.

The BSF Austin Convertible Crib 'n Changer Combo has a modern design. It has clean lines and sits lower to the ground (possibly great for shorter parents who no longer can use drop-side rails).

Slightly more expensive than the above 3 selections, you should be able to find the sleigh-style Sorelle Tuscany Convertible Crib and Changer Combo for about $350 to $500. And perhaps there is something to the increased price, it seems to receive more consistently positive reviews than the others.

The Sorelle Cape Cod 4-in-1 Crib and Changer is beautifully designed and very well constructed. I love the bun-feet and sloping camel-back style. This crib is of higher quality, and because of that, you'll pay a higher price ($400-$550).
