This crib grows with your baby! Our grandchild is only 5 mos right now. We will simply lower the bed in it as needed and then it can also convert into a head & footboard for a youth bed. We love it so far!!! Made well!

My little girl was only able to stay in the cradle till 5 months after that she had to go to a crib since she kept hitting her head on the bars in her sleep from tossing and turning. Many babies like the extra space to move around in their sleep and for a eight month old it may be a little too cramped even though the length would not be that bad. You would be better off getting him into a crib then a cradle.

Hi Matilda, My twin boys slept in this for approximately 3-4 months (alternated them nightly).

I used this until my kids were around 12 weeks, but they could have used it longer based on size. I generally transition to cribs around that time.

I believe its toddlers 18 months to 3 years. My daughteris 2 years old and tall for her age so she kind of out grew it.

My daughter is 6. We've had this bed for her since she was 5. And Im hoping she's still in this bed until she's at least 10.

My baby slept in a PeaPod Deluxe (exclusively) until 20 months old. We will use it for travel up until he is 3-4 years old, but it's good up to age SIX! We will probably use this camping and at the beach from now on, as well as inlaws house. We have several videos of him being very independant and going to bed on his own, because of the PeaPod. I would never put any of my babies in a crib or playpen, just because we had such an awesome experience in this. He absolutely loved going to sleep in it every night and for naps. http://youtu.be/CyTcsd_kjVM?t=11m40s This is just one of our videos, there is about a years worth - as he is 21 months old now and just got into a big boy bed!

My son is 2 and in the97 percentile for his height, he still has a decent amount of time to use this bed. Highly encourage it for the switch from crib to a "big boy bed" he loved it so much he didnt get out of it at night for the longest time! !

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

I always had my baby sleep in her crib at night, but for the daytime for naps she slept in the podster. She did not have too much trouble transitioning to the crib for naps around 5 months.

I don't know. Measure and see. We use the crib for our 2 year old grandson when he is here visiting about once or twice a month. He is a big boy and this crib has worked out just fine.

Our son is 7 months and we still use it. I am sure he will grow out of it in another month or so.

This is a very sturdy crib. You would have to look at the manufacturer's weight limit yourself but I think it would be safe to say that a child would use this crib bed till he or she is 3 years old. The crib can turn into a twin bed.

I think even up to 3 years old child can be in in, it wont be comfortable to lay down in it or sleep, but ok to nap . Sitting will be fine . My son is 13 months I can see using this stroller for about 2 years still, like going shopping , zoo, parks, travel, I have bigger one for everyday walk around the block .

I bought this for my new born. Till 6-8 months , infant feel comfortable sleeping in it. Besides, it highly depends on baby.

My daughter in-law has used this for approx a year. Eventually you'll need a crib when the child is older.

It depends on the baby's length. Weight-wise, I am sure it will be ok, but both of my twins kept pushing their heads into the headboard of the crib by around that age. And they are not tall, actually probably on the shorter side at about 30-31" at the time. We didn't realize how crowded they must have felt in the mini-crib until we put them in the regular-size crib and the first thing they did was lie on their backs and stretch their arms up and out, as it to enjoy the extra space. That being said, they would probably be ok in the mini-crib for a few nights, but not as a regular sleeping arrangement. It depends on the baby's length.
