Once upon a time, a tiny human and their beautiful convertible crib lived in a magical bedroom. This amazing crib was the ultimate sleeping haven for little ones as it could grow and change with them through the years.

1. The Great Escape

The first sign the beings of the crib world told the doting mother was a milestone known as “The Great Escape.” This moment arrived once the little one exerted independence by attempting to climb out of their crib. Brave and daring as it may be, this tale warns the parents: once “The Great Escape” begins, they should know it’s time to convert the crib. That way, their little ones can continue exploring their “big kid” space in a new way.

2. Dreamland’s Houdini

Another being from the crib world whispered about another sign called “Dreamland’s Houdini.” “Oh no!” said the mother. But the being from the crib world reassured and informed the mother it was okay; this tale is one to know and sure is fun to tell!

The “Dreamland Houdini” tells a tale of growing limbs and rolling motions. As the little one stretches and rolls in their slumber, their arms and legs may press against the crib’s railings, perfectly imitating the legendary Houdini. Their crib kingdom might have fallen, but the brave queen, Mom, and the brave knight, Dad, saved the day. They repurposed the convertible crib into an expanded empire so their little one could continue dreaming of fun adventures.
