Babyletto Modo 3 in 1 Crib with Toddler Rail Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife bought this crib for our second baby recently, even though we were both a little skeptical about buying a crib online "sight unseen". As with most parents, the first baby crib buying experience is filled with countless hours of research, visits to Babys'R'Us and other specialty baby furniture stores, and highlighting through the latest Baby Bargains book. With the second baby, however, its all about convenience of shopping. Since the high reviews of this crib, we decided to give this a try.
The crib arrived in 1 flat carton, a little larger in size than a baby mattress. Upon opening the carton, the contents were well packaged. Most of the pieces (side panels, base) are pre assembled. The finish is a nice dark Espresso in a pleasing tone. As with similarly priced items though, the finish is a little easy to get dinged, so have to be a little careful in the assembly. The assembly instructions are a little sparse but since there are few pieces to assemble, it's easily doable.
Assembly requires attaching the 4 bottom posts to the base using 1 dowel and 1 screw each. Next attach some metal strips to the side walls for the mattress base spring. Each side panel is then attached to the base with 3 dowels and 2 screws and to the adjacent panels with 2 screws. The mattress rest (wire spring base on which the mattress rests) attaches to the walls with 4 screws. That's it, you're done.
The mattress height adjustment has 3 (or maybe 4, can't recall) height levels to progress from infant to toddler stages. The included toddler bed front panel is a great must have to extend the use of this crib.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Take heed that the words "convertible" for cribs can mean one of 3 things. It can either mean that a crib can be modified to have a lower/half front rail for the toddler stages OR that the crib can be converted to a full size bed using the two long sides of the crib OR both options are available. This crib ONLY HAS the first option available of a half height/half length front rail. IT CANNOT BE CONVERTED TO A FULL SIZE BED. Just so you know.
Overall construction/finish is good. Assembly is easy. And the convertible aspect earns this crib a 5 star (bang for the buck) rating in my book.
