A cot transformer is a good option for small apartments
Our apartment is one-bedroom, but not large in size. We live with my mother and there is not enough space all the time. When they were waiting for the birth of their daughter, the crib was chosen based on this. I wanted to spend a minimum, get a quality product that does not take up much space. We chose a transformer bed with a chest of drawers and a pendulum (this is all together, as a single unit) from birth to 7-10 years. The bottom of the bed is adjustable in height, and if you remove the partition, you get a bed for an older child. I am satisfied with the purchase, but for the baby she was practically not used for the main purpose (she slept with us).
Now she is sleeping separately (2 and a half, no matter how) in this very bed, she likes. Conveniently, all things are always at hand. Under the bed are two spacious drawers for linen. For swaddling, the countertop specially provided there was constantly used. Now on it are toys and books, because from the crib easily reach. Of the minuses, I can note that there is not enough space in the dresser for everything. And if the bottom of the crib is raised, you can see everything that lies in the drawer. The protective grill lowers poorly (requires the application of force and dexterity), but I did not have the opportunity to lower it with one hand. The upper part of the crossbar is not covered with silicone (as is often done in other beds) - my daughter constantly nibbled her and I was afraid of a splinter.
pros
low price, takes up little space, there is a changing table and chest of drawers
