Nestig Mini Crib to Full Crib Build Review

Join us as we transition the Nestig Mini Crib into the Full Crib for our boys. We will tell you what we love about this crib system. We are so excited about the boys sleeping more. This means it's time to move from the basinet into their room. The mini cribs were great for being able to move the cribs into our bedroom, the living room, or in their room. Allowed us to lay them down to sleep and be able to keep an eye on them.
While they could still fit in the mini crib, we noticed they were starting to move around a lot. They started running up against the sides and it was waking them up. It was time to break out the full cribs.

Omg!! Off subject but you guys have the baby blanket that I had as a baby 30+ years ago and kept for my daughter! ❣️

Once converted to full size crib - about how much would need to go into storage? Concerned that we only have limited space...

What mattress did you use for the mini crib? Did you use the included one or purchase a separate one? Thanks!

@KillebrewKrewe 2 жыл бұрын

We used the included mini crib mattress. We had to custom size the sheets we wanted. Mostly the boys slept in their bassinet with us and just used their cribs for day time naps.

Hi! Would the mini crib work well as a bassinet next to the bed for night time feedings? The mattress seems pretty deep in the crib, so I am wondering if the leaning over the edge and lifting baby out in the middle of the night will be a pain.

Absolutely can be used as a bassinet. We had a separate bassinet but that’s only because we had the twins and our bassinet was able to spin so we could get to whatever baby woke up. If we had a single baby we would have utilized the mini crib and saved the expense. Bassinet time goes by fast. Save the money and use the mini crib.

@@cocoo342 we utilized a second hand halo twin bassinet for the first 2/3 months before moving them to the mini cribs. Definitely not worth buying new for such a short period of time. The bassinet was helpful in that it allowed us to keep both babies next to mom, which she wanted. Really, we just didn’t have the space to be able to fit both minis in our bedroom. If we had the space we probably would have made that work.

If you’re still answering questions here… did you find the the full size crib moves too much on wheels. Concerned that as baby gets bigger the wheels might be an issue with more motion and eventually standing in the crib.

@KillebrewKrewe 2 жыл бұрын

As the boys got more mobile and large enough to wiggle the crib, we did take the wheels off the full cribs and now it sits firmly on the floor. It’s super easy to take off and they come with little plastic feet that you can add to protect the floors from a wild child trying to shake the crib like ours haha.

Thank you! Can I ask how old the boys were when you decided to convert to full sized cribs?

@KillebrewKrewe 2 жыл бұрын

We converted to the full bed definitely before we needed to but at 3 months old is when we made the transition. They started sleeping through the night and we wanted to stop moving the cribs around and leave it in their room so we went ahead and built to the full bed.

@MeliMel277 Жыл бұрын

Did you still buy a bassinet or did you use the mini crib to roll it where you needed it? I’m trying to decide if we need a bassinet or if we just stick with the wave crib only.

@KillebrewKrewe Жыл бұрын

We did buy a used bassinet and we are glad we did for the first month or two during night time. Don’t spend a ton of money on it though if you plan on sleep training (which we highly recommend taking cara babies) because they’ll be in their own room after a couple months. We used the wave cribs for all day time sleeping though because it was so easy to wheel them around.

Question, did you guys take the mattress all the way down???? We have ours in the middle and can't find the holes to take the matress to the Lowest

@KillebrewKrewe 2 жыл бұрын

We did eventually take it all the way down. Out of curiosity does it appear that the side is upside down? Are there holes maybe near the top? That’s the only thing I can think of.

Do you have to order more material to build the full crib? Does it cost more?

The only thing you have to purchase is a mattress and sheets. The entire crib wood frame was included with the purchase.

Does the full size crib roll easily through standard hallways and standard door frame? We would love to move the cribs easily from room to room .

@KillebrewKrewe 6 ай бұрын

The full size crib does not fit through our bedroom doors. We removed the wheels once we transitioned to full size because the kids tried to move them all the time. Wheel locks didn’t stop them.

@KillebrewKrewe 2 жыл бұрын

To my knowledge, the nestig only comes as a 3-feature set. Meaning you can’t buy the mini crib on its own. You have to buy the mini crib, full crib, and toddler bed all in one package. Does mean you need to store all of that somewhere so keep that in mind.

@HCharleron1218 Жыл бұрын

Just to clarify - does it come with the different mattress sizes?

@KillebrewKrewe Жыл бұрын

It does not come with the crib/toddler bed mattress. Just a mattress for the mini crib. We chose the Newton bed for many reasons. One being it’s 100% breathable. That’s what we have for crib and are about to transition to toddler bed.
