Moab 3-in-1 Convertible Crib
Babesta Pick | Statement Piece for Loft Living | Crib + Toddler Bed + Daybed in One
The Moab 3-in-1 is a stunner. The arched front and back panels paired with tambour side paneling give it a two-toned, sculptural quality that reads more like a design object than a piece of baby furniture. It’s the kind of crib that stops people in their tracks when they walk into the room.
That matters especially in New York, where the nursery is often visible from the living room in an open-plan loft or studio — parents here aren’t hiding the crib behind a closed door. The Moab holds its own aesthetically even in a design-forward home. Hidden hardware means no exposed screws breaking the silhouette. The two-toned finish — natural wood grain against painted panels — is striking and genuinely hard to find at this level of quality.
It’s also GREENGUARD Gold certified, FSC® certified, and made with solid American poplar and ash wood. And when the time comes, it converts to a toddler bed and then a daybed — so you’re buying one piece that takes you from newborn through age 4 and beyond.

Best For / Not For

How It Converts: 3-in-1 Stages
|
Stage |
Configuration & Notes |
|
Stage 1: Crib |
Newborn through ≈ 2–3 years (or up to 50 lbs). Four adjustable mattress heights — start high for newborn access, lower as baby learns to pull up and stand. |
|
Stage 2: Toddler Bed |
Requires Toddler Bed Conversion Kit (sold separately). Transitions when baby starts climbing or reaches the 50 lb crib limit. |
|
Stage 3: Daybed |
Removes one rail to create an open daybed configuration. Works as a lounge, reading nook, or transitional sleep setup. |
Adjustable Mattress Heights
|
Position |
When to Use It |
|
Position 1 (highest) |
Newborn — easiest to lift baby in and out without bending deeply |
|
Position 2 |
Younger infant — baby is moving but not yet pulling up |
|
Position 3 |
Baby is sitting and pulling to stand |
|
Position 4 (lowest) |
Baby is standing and may attempt to climb — most safety-critical position |

Frequently Asked Questions
|
What does 3-in-1 mean exactly? |
It converts from a standard crib to a toddler bed (with conversion kit, sold separately) to a daybed. It does not convert to a full-size bed. |
|
Do I need to buy anything extra to convert it? |
Yes — the Toddler Bed Conversion Kit is required for the toddler bed stage and is sold separately. Ask our team about bundling it. |
|
What size mattress does it take? |
Standard crib size: 52” × 27.75”. Box spring not required. Babyletto recommends their Pure line or the Babyletto × Avocado organic mattress, and we also love the Naturepedic. |
|
How many mattress height settings does it have? |
Four adjustable positions. Start at the highest for a newborn; lower progressively as baby learns to sit, pull up, and stand. |
|
Is it GREENGUARD Gold certified? |
Yes — tested for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs. Critical for a crib, where baby spends 12–16 hours a day. |
|
What wood is it made from? |
Solid American poplar and ash wood for the frame, with TSCA compliant MDF and veneer for panel components. |
|
What makes it two-toned? |
The arched front and back panels have a painted finish, while the tambour side paneling showcases the natural wood grain stain — the contrast between the two creates the distinctive two-toned effect. |
|
Will my piece look exactly like the photo? |
Close, but not identical — natural wood grain variation means each Moab is unique. Color and grain will vary slightly, which Babyletto considers a feature of the material. |
|
Can I see it in person at Babesta? |
Contact our Tribeca store at 56 Warren Street to confirm current floor availability for the Moab Crib. |
|
Can I put this on my baby registry? |
Yes — the Moab Crib is a popular registry piece. We can help you pair it with the dresser, changing tray, and mattress for a complete nursery registry. |
|
Does Babesta price match? |
Yes — Babesta offers a price match guarantee. Contact us with the competing offer. |
|
What’s the maximum weight for the crib? |
50 lbs. Once your child reaches this weight or begins climbing out, it’s time to convert to the toddler bed configuration. |
Babesta Pick — Why We Carry It
The crib is the centerpiece of the nursery — and in a New York home where the nursery is often open to the rest of the living space, it matters enormously what it looks like. The Moab earns its place on the floor at Babesta because it’s one of the few cribs that genuinely holds up as a design object. The tambour side paneling is a detail you don’t see anywhere else at this price point. The hidden hardware gives it a clean, uninterrupted silhouette. And the two-toned finish — painted arches against natural wood grain — is the kind of thing that makes the whole room feel considered.
Beyond the looks: it’s GREENGUARD Gold certified (essential for a sleep space), FSC® certified, and made with solid American poplar and ash. It converts to a toddler bed and daybed, so you’re not buying another piece in two years. Pair it with the Moab Dresser and Changing Tray for a fully cohesive nursery that you’ll still love the look of when your kid is five.

A Note about Lead Times
Some furniture is handmade just for you by expert craftsmen. That being said -- good
things take time. Typical lead times are about 8-12 weeks from most workshops,
and white glove delivery can add between 2 weeks to the lead time, depending on
the distance the pieces are traveling. Lead times are estimates only. We quote
lead times to the best of our ability, but a number of unforeseen issues can
delay orders. Lead times are not guaranteed. Shipping times are not included in
estimated standard lead times.
******Important Please Read*******
Receiving & Inspecting Your White Glove or Curbside/Threshold Delivery
On the day you receive your furniture, it is important to remember to take the
time to inspect your delivery carefully. You are responsible for properly describing any and all damages on the shipper's waybill or delivery receipt. If
you don't note the damage, it gives us very limited recourse to assist you afterwards.
Our shippers go to great lengths to avoid damage, but it's possible it can occur. Please review the following guidelines to inspect your furniture while
the shipper is present:
-Whether your order has been specified for white glove delivery or curbside delivery, it is important to open all packaging and inspect every piece before signing the waybill/delivery receipt and the delivery team leaves your home.
-If your furniture has been boxed, inspect the boxes for damage. If the boxes show
any evidence of damage or heavy wear, note this on all copies of the shipper’s
waybill/delivery receipt. A damaged box could be a sign of hidden damage.
-If the delivery driver refuses to wait while you inspect the furniture, note on the waybill/delivery receipt, “driver refused to wait for inspection of
contents. Final inspection for damage will be made when packages are opened.”
-Document any issues or damage (no matter how minor) in detail on the shipper’s waybill
and ask the delivery driver to co-sign the waybill/receipt.
-Minor damage like a scratch or even replacement of a door or drawer, is best handled
through repairs which can easily be done at your home or performed by furniture
medics on behalf of the shipper.
-If the damage is substantial, refuse the item and have the shipper return it to the sender for repair or replacement
-If your shipment is missing any pieces call us immediately at 646 290 5508 and have the driver note the shortage on the waybill. Advise us of any missing
pieces and we will trace the shipment. If the missing items cannot be located within a reasonable time, the missing items will be re-ordered.
-If your shipment is missing any hardware call us immediately and have the driver note the missing hardware on the waybill. Hardware can be sent directly to your home.
***Not sure what to do?***
-If you need assistance with damage at the time of delivery, call us at 646 290 508.
-Email us digital photos of any damage so that we can best determine how to resolve
for you. Email photos to support@babesta.com
-If you do not inspect your furniture on arrival and do not note any damage on the
delivery receipt/waybill, we do not have recourse to assist you with repair or replacement. Please take the time to document any issues.
-If you sign the delivery slip without any written comments you are indicating that your delivery arrived in perfect condition
