Adjustable Infant

Are “drop cribs” and convertible cribs (cribs that convert to toddler beds) the same?
My husband and I are having our first child. We’ve selected a crib on our registry which is a converter crib (converts to a toddler bed). It is also adjustable. I wanted to know if anyone knows if this type of crib is the same as the “drop cribs” which have recently been recalled by manufacturers because of infant deaths. I want to make sure that we don’t order the convertible crib if it’s the same thing!
A drop-crib is a crib that has one side which drops or lowers down to make it easier to reach the child in the crib. This is good for people who are on the shorter side, those who expect to be pregnant again while they still have a child in a crib (trust me, reaching a toddler in a crib while pregnant is a feat!), or those who have trouble reaching/lifting.
A convertible crib, on the other hand, is one that can be converted into something other than a crib. Often a convertible crib can be made into a daybed with the same crib mattress and then a full-size bed with the addition of a full-size mattress and bedrails (essentially the crib becomes the head and footboard.)
I don’t think that drop-side cribs are convertible, but there may be models out there that are both.
The recent recall did not involve all drop-side cribs, just certain ones. And I believe they were made by a company that no longer exists, if I remember right, so you wouldn’t be able to register for a crib from that comany anyhow. There have been recalls on convertible cribs as well, for a number of different reasons. Unfortunately it seems that cribs are recalled quite often. But any that are recalled should be immediately removed from stores, so you wouldn’t be able to register for one that’s been recalled.
