10 Best Full Size Folding Cribs: Our Expert Reviewed Top Picks

Customer Review: We got this because our 21 month old grandson was visiting and he had outgrown the Pack N Play he slept in before. The instructions said it would take about 25 minutes to put together. And after having done it once, I can see how you could definitely do it the SECOND time in 25 minutes. But the FIRST time, unless you’re a genius at putting things together, allow a lot more than that.The instructions are not clear. It’s better to look up videos on YouTube. You’ll save yourself some time and effort. However, it does not require any tools, which is nice. Everything snaps together, but firmly with those metal spring loaded rods and holes.Once it was assembled, the crib felt very secure and strong. I felt safe having my grandson sleep in it. We did have trouble with the top padding. It was hard to get on, as it was very tight, and once it’s on, you’re supposed to zip it to the outer cover of the crib. We tried and tried and finally gave up and left it unzipped. It was just too tight. Maybe we did it wrong. But it didn’t interfere with the use of the crib.I’m very glad we chose this one and it worked out very well for us. To be perfectly honest, though, it’s still sitting in our guest room long after our grandson has left. We just are not looking forward to taking it apart. It took so long to assemble, and I’m afraid those metal rods and holes are not going to be fun to undo. But who knows? It might not be too bad. When I work up the courage to try, I’ll update this review and let you know how it goes.But it is a very good crib.

Customer Review: Purchased for regular visits from my one year old grandchild (an active sleeper) who was waking herself up in her Graco pack n play.Assembly was simple once I got the over-all idea. The one complexity was that the fabric parts seemed very hard to meet easily into the zippers and Velcro around the skirted corners. However, I found the zippers non-essential for my purposes because the fabric was so tight, no child could pull it off the frame. On the other hand, it feels light and easy to move to adjust locations in the same room, which is what I do need.It looks great and is sturdy. I haven’t traveled with it yet. Might be heavy to transport as the frame is such good quality. Crib mattress fits perfectly, no safety concerns.A preference would be for more padding to the tops of the guard rails, however it’s a minor issue, as the rail is completely protected.I am 5’8” tall and I have no issues bending over the side of the crib to lay her down without disturbing her. She always sleeps well here, which was my goal, so I think this will serve our needs for as long as it’s needed!I highly recommend this product.

Customer Review: This Dream On Me crib is a lifesaver for our small nursery! It was surprisingly easy to set up, and the fact that it folds flat is incredible. We can tuck it away when guests are over, and it doesn’t feel like a permanent fixture. My baby sleeps soundly, and I appreciate the sturdy build.

Customer Review: As new parents, we were looking for a practical crib that wouldn’t break the bank and offered flexibility. The Quinn delivered! The wheels are smooth, making it easy to move between rooms, and the mattress height adjustment is perfect as our little one grows. Highly recommend for its value and functionality.

Customer Review: This is my second time purchasing the Dream On Me 3 in 1 Portable Folding Crib, and overall, I’m still very happy with the quality. The crib is sturdy, compact, and easy to fold and store—perfect for smaller spaces or for use as a portable option at a grandparent’s house. Assembly was straightforward, and it feels just as solid as my first one.However, I did notice that this newer one didn’t come with the teeth guards on the rails like my previous purchase did. That was a little disappointing since they were a nice feature to protect both the crib and baby’s gums during teething. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I wish Dream On Me had kept that detail consistent.Still a great product overall, but just a heads-up if you’re expecting the same features as earlier versions.

Customer Review: I’m very happy with this purchase! This mini crib is good quality, and of strong and durable materials. It was easy to assemble, took about a half an hour and was stress free. It looks like a much more expensive piece. It comes with a mattress however I purchased a separate one thinking it couldn’t be of great quality to have come as a package deal, as the price was so good, but to my surprise – it was as good as the one I’d paid a good price for separatel!! This mini crib and mattress set was truly as good as it says, and maybe better. I’d spent much more on others over the years (as I have many grandchildren and am a great-grandma now too) and this one surpasses!! I recommend without hesitation!!

Customer Review: Really high quality for the price. Solid wood and easy to put together. Looks lovely IRL

Customer Review: Used this as a second crib to keep my son in the living room. He has a neuromuscular condition that keeps him somewhat immobile so he spends a lot of time in this crib. We wanted something that would sit quite a bit higher as his condition also requires that we keep his airway clear (bronchial hygiene as they call it). It can be time consuming and you spend a decent amount of time bent over him. The higher he is the better on our backs. This crib is perfect. He’s just grown so much I wish I could find one like this that is longer and able to hold more weight. This crib has been a lifesaver for us. He’s nearly outgrown it and it saddens us to know he only has a couple months left of being able to use it. There was a bit of trial and error in putting it together but after scuffing the paint job up I figured out what I was doing wrong and it’s not too hard to put together. You just have to look very carefully at the instructions. Maybe even do a dry run if you want to get it right on the first try.

Customer Review: This crib has been a lifesaver for our family! We live in a small apartment, and being able to fold it up and put it away when guests visit is just incredible. It feels very sturdy, and our baby sleeps great on the mattress. Assembly was a breeze too, which is always a bonus.

Customer Review: I bought this for my grandchild’s visits, and it’s perfect. The fact that it folds flat without any fuss means I can set it up in minutes and then store it in the closet. The mattress feels really supportive, and knowing it’s GreenGuard certified gives me extra confidence in its safety.

Customer Review: I love this crib because it was literally the only one that did what we needed it to do, which in our case was have soft sides and fit a full-sized mattress. The mesh sides keep my baby from wrapping his legs all around the wooden slats, as well as from falling over as he likes to do and banging his head on the wood. Using a full sized regular crib mattress obviously allows for more comfort and a bigger space. Set up was honestly a breeze for me and probably took all of ten minutes, and no tools.In case you’re wondering:- the mesh does stretch a little bit so it may create a small pocket to try and stick your face into. The crib is JPMA certified for safety, and our baby slept in a bassinet when he was smaller, so I am okay with it for those reasons. The walls are stretchier than solid wood, but much more taut than our mesh play yard.- Is this thing portable? Yes and no. It fits into a duffel bag. If you’re in between babies and need to store it, you might lose it in your closet. If you want to transport it, you don’t need a u-haul. Heck, you could hop on the bus with this thing without getting so much as a second glance from anyone. With that being said, would I want to travel with this? Probably not. It’s lighter than most regular cribs, but heavier than tons of travel cribs. It’s also more annoying than other travel cribs to put together. Set up was easy, but not I-wanna-do-this-every-night easy. Most importantly, the biggest advantage of this thing over other mesh cribs is that it fits a full-sized crib mattress, and those are usually not very portable at all. The crib does come with a thinner mattress pad that conveniently folds into the duffel bag as well, but I doubt it’s much better than other travel cribs out there. My advice would be: if you want to bring your child’s actual full sized crib somewhere with you for whatever reason, this is the crib to do it with. If, however, you’re looking for an easy-to-set-up crib to travel around with, I would look into bigger play yards as an alternative.- The crib sits up off the floor, which I like, so the baby is not on the floor directly, but it does only have the lowest mattress height setting, so you have to bend down pretty low to pick up and put down LO.- The crib is not easy to climb out of. Depending on your child, they may or may not get out, but the mesh gives way more than wood, and climbing out is a challenge.- The top and bottom parts are metal. That makes the crib extra sturdy, although the carcass is pretty hard. In our case though, the walls are high enough where my baby does not chew it or hit his head on it.- As every other reviewer said, instructions are there, they’re inside a dedicated crib pouch.Overall, it’s been a great crib for us, and I would recommend it.

Customer Review: Absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Baby Delight Horizon Full Size Mesh Crib! As a new parent, finding the perfect crib was a top priority, and this one ticks all the boxes. What impressed me most was the safety-focused design. The mesh walls are a game changer – they not only provide fantastic airflow, ensuring my baby sleeps soundly, but also give me peace of mind knowing there’s no risk of tiny limbs getting stuck.The sturdy metal frame is another standout feature. It’s robust yet doesn’t compromise on aesthetics, fitting beautifully into our nursery space. I was also pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up. I’m no DIY expert, but the tool-free assembly was straightforward and hassle-free, almost like setting up a playard.What’s more, the crib’s portability is a major plus. It folds compactly and slips into the included storage bag, making it perfect for travel or when we need extra space. And although it didn’t come with a mattress, it fits a full-size one, which was exactly what I wanted.All in all, this crib is a standout product – well-designed, safe, stylish, and practical. A solid 5 stars from this happy parent!

Customer Review: I have three married children who all have babies between the ages of one month and 2 years. I bought this crib because it was portable as we wanted to be able to move it from room to room, depending on who was sleeping over with the baby. The newborn parents want their baby in their room but the older children’s parents want the babies nearby, but not in the room. Thus, I didn’t want to go with a large crib in a fixed room, even though a normal size crib is larger and you can use it for a longer period of time. So I wasn’t sure that I was going to keep this crib if it wasn’t sturdy. We got the Cherry crib and love it. It holds my 30 pound grandson easily, and works great for the two smaller babies. The mattress lifts up for the newborn so you don’t have to strain your back putting down a smaller child. The crib itself went together fairly easily and the directions are actually glued to the top of the board that holds the mattress in place, so you can’t lose it unless you lose the entire crib. There is a stabilizer bar at the bottom and the crib does not shake or wobble as I was afraid it might. I called customer service to have a screw sent out which I stripped and they answered the phone quickly and took down the information without a hassle. The crib itself fold up easily for transport from room to room. I bought the three inch mattress as an add on item and was glad I did. The mattress which comes with the crib is literally useless because it’s so thin. I looked at it and threw it out. However, the extra $25 for a better mattress is minimal considering the low cost of this crib to begin with. Glad I bought it and don’t forget the buy a mattress pad with it in case the baby’s diaper leaks.

Customer Review: I bought this folding crib for my grandson who is now 16 months and is considered long for his age. It has worked great and I appreciate the depth of the of the crib floor so no chance of him climbing out (thus far) when he stands up. He is not cramped in any way while sleeping which was a concern of mine as he grew. This crib moves easily and fits into many rooms in my house so it gives me plenty of options. Very easy to store. I would highly recommend this product.
