The style of slats, the height of the mattress, dimensions of the overall design and more contribute to the ease of a crib to use and how long it can be used.
A few cribs in this review have the possibility of converting into a daybed or toddler bed, like the Babyletto Hudson 4-in-1 and Delta Children Tribeca. Most require an additional purchase to complete the conversion. This could be a major disadvantage if you plan not to utilize the conversion kit, but you still require a crib that is durable enough to withstand the rigors of multiple children.
The Storkcraft Equinox has one of the tiniest sitting mattress heights in our review and this can be a good thing for those who are short or have a petite parent. However, Baby Cot Bed can also be a disadvantage particularly when your child starts pulling herself up and climbing out of her crib. It also has a more elevated profile than other cribs with a minimal design in the review, which may make it more difficult to reach your child at the night.
