The Delta Children Archer 4-in-1 Crib can grow with your child. It starts as a crib, and then can be converted into a toddler bed. When your little one has outgrown the toddler bed, you can then transition this bed into a daybed, then finally into a full-sized bed. The crib dimensions are: 55.75”(W) x 43.75”(H) x 30.50”(D). The weight of the crib is 68.8 pounds. The maximum weight for this crib is 50 pounds.
The arch-shaped headboard has a three-position mattress height adjustment. Some parents liked to lower the crib as their babies grew. As with most cribs on the market, the Delta Children Archer 4-in-1 Crib sells the mattress separately. When picking out a mattress, make sure to get one that will fit this crib snugly. Do not skimp by accepting a hand me down or garage sale mattress that does not fit tightly. Even the smallest gap between the crib sides and mattress, can pose a severe safety hazard for your baby.
This crib is JPMA certified and and has tested at the highest category standards established by ASTM through annual independent laboratory testing. The Delta Children Archer 4-in-1 Crib has passed all safety standards. It has been tested for lead and other toxic elements that meet or exceed government and STTM standards. You can sleep soundly knowing your baby is also safe while he or she sleeps.

Ease of Assembly
According to parents, this crib is very easy to put together. When directions are hard to understand or pieces are missing, parents are quick to comment so that others can be forewarned. But with the Delta Children Archer 4-in-1 Crib, parents had high praises for the ease of assembly.
The Style
Parents overwhelmingly liked the look of the simple and clean lines of this crib. Some were even more impressed with the crib upon seeing it in person. One parent wrote,
“This thing looks even more chic than you can appreciate in the picture. Very sturdy and well built. Classy piece that can fit into various color schemes. Reasonable price tag. Would definitely recommend.”
Durability
According to parents, this is a durable bed that will last. Most of the parents who purchased this crib had positive things to say about the durability. One parent said this,
“Sturdy, good directions, and better quality than the cribs in the store in my opinion.”
Most of the comments were a reflection of what this parent said.
Mattress
As stated above, the mattress is not included. Make sure to get a mattress that fits tightly. One parent wanted other parents to know this when searching for a mattress,
“Okay, first off… get the right size mattress!! I had TWO toddler/crib standard mattresses and NEITHER ONE FIT!! Apparently this crib is a bit roomier than I am used to. THE CRIB MEASURES 52-1/8″ from side to side, and 27-1/2″ from front to back, inside measurements. You only want to have a gap of two fingers max so keep that in mind when you pick out the mattress. Especially since I don’t use a bumper anymore this is critical… this crib only has a metal mesh and frame on the bottom. So any gaps are direct air gaps. Not a problem with a perfect mattress though.”
