Are convertible 4-in-1 or 5-in-1 cribs actually worth it?

Reviewers are split. Verified-purchase customers and Reddit parents who actually converted their cribs to toddler or full-size beds report real long-term value, but many also point out that the conversion rails are sold separately and can cost $80-$150 extra. If you're confident you'll convert later, the math works; if not, a simpler crib at a lower price may be a better buy.
