Baby's Dream Furniture has reinvented the concept of convertibility, with the introduction of the Cube — the first crib to not only become a toddler bed, but two full-size platform beds as well.
The modern and sleek collection offers a clean and straight appearance, with a geometric design twist.
The crib converts to a toddler bed with the removal of the front panel, and the optional addition of a guard rail.

| The Cube Collection from Baby's Dream features a crib that converts to two full-size beds, 800-835-2742, babysdream.com. |
When it converts to two full-size beds, the crib's two longest sides become headboards — one with slats, the other solid. A bottom drawer that comes with the crib can also roll under the full-size bed.
"The amount of possibilities this collection offers is very exciting," said Kelly Kuch, Baby's Dream marketing executive. "The first crib to convert to two separate full-size beds makes this a perfect choice for twins who will use both beds, or it gives the customer the option of which headboard she wants to use. It's definitely one crib with two personalities."
The Cube collection also includes a Convertible Changer/Desk with a 3-in-1 design. The 32-inch dresser can be pulled out to a 65-inch changer or desk. A quick slide of the top panel reveals a sunken cubbie that works as a changing pad and later for desk essentials. The top panel can pivot at any angle, making the piece compact and multifunctional.
"This collection was made specifically for Gen Y consumers," said Kuch. "It's perfect for the young couple living in an urban loft, because at the end of the day the Cube Changer can slide closed to save space."
The Cube crib with drawer retails for $549 and the changer/desk for $689. Other pieces in the collection include a guard rail to use when the crib converts to a toddler bed, $89, a nightstand, $249, and a wardrobe with one tall door and three drawers, $749. The conversion kit for making the full beds retails for $169.
The collection is available in glacier and espresso finishes.
"Recent reports and style articles show that future home spending (furniture, accessories and art) will focus on simplicity," Kuch said. "It seems at these times when people are scaling back with their checkbooks, their styles are simplifying too. Simpler spaces, with more clean and calm appearances are key in current trends. Cube fits right into that and shows economic consciousness by its low-maintenance appearance."
