For parents of newborn babies, one of the most important things during the start of their baby’s life is to provide their little ones with a safe space where they can comfortably sleep and rest. As all parents know, babies start their lives in a nice and comfy baby bassinet. However, since babies grow fairly fast until they reach their toddler years, they’ll eventually outgrow their bassinet, for which they’ll then need to switch to a larger bed. When that time comes, parents then have to transition their babies out of their bassinet into a toddler-sized crib. This also means that, by that time, parents will have to go shopping for a new and larger bed for their toddler. That said, if you’re looking for a way to save some money during the first years of your child’s life, then the Silver Cross Slumber Travel Crib offers you a great way to do so.
The Silver Cross Slumber is a 3-in-1 transformable baby crib that can be set as a bassinet for newborn babies, as a toddler crib, and as a playard, giving your little ones a safe and comfy space to peacefully sleep in during their first few years, all the way from birth up to 3 years old or around 50 lbs.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Silver Cross Slumber Travel Crib and check out exactly how this 3-in-1 transformable baby crib is designed to work, and also talk a little about everything that it has to offer both parents and their children.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the unit’s size, the Silver Cross Slumber Travel Crib measures exactly 44 inches long by 31.5 inches wide by 26.4 inches tall when opened (meaning after setting it up), meaning that it won’t even take up too much space when set at the side of the parents’ bed.
Now, since this 3-in-1 transformable baby crib is designed with portability in mind, the Silver Cross Slumber Travel Crib also features a Foldable design, which makes the whole process of setting it up both quick and easy.
To set it up, all that parents have to do is to give it a little shake and the unit’s Foldable Legs will quickly open up and lock into place.
The Slumber’s Foldable design also makes it possible to re-pack the whole unit just as easily as setting it up. When looking this 3-in-1 transformable baby crib, all you have to do is to unlock its Foldable Legs (via the built-in Unlocking Buttons at their top-side), for which you can then easily fold down the Slumber Travel Crib into a fully-portable form.
When completely folded / closed, the Slumber measures just 35 inches long by 13.4 inches wide by 6.7 inches, which makes it easy to neatly fit it into its included Weatherproof Travel Bag.
The set’s included Weatherproof Travel Bag comes equipped with a Carrying Handle, as well as with an Adjustable Shoulder Strap, which make it easy and comfortable for parents to carry the Slumber with them at any time.
It’s worth noting that this transformable baby crib comes in a beautiful Dark-Grey Carbon color, which allows it to easily match just about any room décor.
Moving on to the Slumber’s construction, the unit’s internal structure is made of a combination of high-quality Aluminum, Steel and Plastic Pieces, which makes the whole unit fairly sturdy and extremely stable.
Not only that, but its outer side consists of a Fully-Padded Frame that ultimately makes this 3-in-1 transformable baby crib a comfortable and perfectly safe space for your little one(s) to sleep and play in.
It’s also worth pointing out that the Slumber’s Fully-Padded Frame is protected by a high-quality cover that’s made of a soft and stain-resistant fabric, which not only adds to the comfort level offered by this transformable baby crib, but also keeps everything protected from any “whoopsies”.
In addition, the Slumber also features Mesh Sides that provide great ventilation, thus ensuring that babies are provided with an optimal air flow while sleeping or playing inside it.
Last but not least, this transformable baby crib also comes together with a soft, yet sturdy Dual-Piece Expandable Mattress that’s lightweight and breathable.
Just like the Slumber itself, this Expandable Mattress grows with your baby, starting from the Slumber’s Bassinet Mode all the way to its Crib Mode and Playard Mode. On that note, know that the set’s Dual-Piece Expandable Mattress consists of two (x2) soft mattress pieces that can be attached to each other via a built-in zipper.
We’ll now talk a little about each of the Slumber’s different modes. Starting with its Bassinet Mode, the Slumber comes included with a Newborn Bassinet Insert that’s suitable from a bay’s birth up to 6 months old, meaning when your baby is starting to push up or roll over.
For setting up the unit’s Bassinet Insert, there’s a built-in zipper within it that’s integrated along its top-edge, which makes it easy to attach or detach the Slumber’s Newborn Bassinet onto / from its frame.
Additionally, there are also four (x4) Sling-Loops (one integrated on each corner of the Slumber’s Bassinet) that allow parents to attach one piece / one-half of the set’s Expandable Mattresses.
Then, whenever its time to transition your baby from the Slumber’s Newborn Bassinet and onto its Crib Mode, all you have to do is to remove its Bassinet Insert and re-attach the Slumber’s two (x2) halves of its Expandable Mattress back together, and then install its Dual-Piece Mattress at the bottom-side of its crib.
Once that’s done, you’re child can then use the Slumber as a neat toddler crib that’s both safe and comfortable for them to rest on.
Finally, at the front-side of its crib, the Slumber also integrates a Zip-Up Door Design that easily transforms its crib into a toddler-sized playard, thus giving your little ones a nice, comfortable, and safe play space where they can have some fun when they’re not sleeping.
