We’ve written the Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib review based on our comprehensive research and actual experiences of parents who already have this timeless baby crib.

Dream on me ashton 5 in 1 convertible crib

I recommend the Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib to anybody looking for a safe and functional, low-budget convertible crib.

The Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib is a solid and durable convertible crib that can grow with your baby until youth and beyond.

Baby’s Little Place Reviews

Crib’s price fluctuates due to different finishes, which is not unusual in this industry. However, I prefer manufacturers selling a crib of a particular type at the same price, regardless of its finish.

Design and Specifications

A price is certainly a factor in the Dream On Me Ashton’s popularity. But I don’t think people would buy it just because of the affordable price!

Those who decide on the Ashton want a safe and solid crib that looks good but doesn’t need to be perfect in all the details.

And that is pretty much what we were expecting, and the Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib review later confirmed. We expected a few visible holes where the bolts go together; after all, it is a low-budget crib.

Honestly, that doesn’t bother me at all. Firstly, you can see holes only from really up close. And more importantly, the crib’s safety, functionality, and solid construction are not compromised.

As for the dings and scratches, the Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib is like any other low-budget and midrange convertible crib, made of Pinewood.

Pinewood belongs to softwood, which is solid but more liable for dents and scratches. What I want to say is; you will have to spend $500 and more on a hardwood crib to avoid this.

The Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib has a classic, timeless design. It is available in eight different finishes, which is a lot, and it makes it easier for you to match it with your other furniture.

It is a traditional-looking crib, so it is usually not the first choice for those who like modern style. If you like the contemporary style but are limited by the budget, you might like the DaVinci Union 4-in-1 convertible crib.

Anyway, except for the minor imperfections described above, this is a beautiful crib.

Many do not know you can opt on a slightly different Ashton crib. While retaining all significant features of a regular Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib, the Dream On Me changed the design of a headboard for this model.

It features a full-panel headboard, with a sleight style and vertical slats with routing lines, perfect for those who like cottage and farmhouse style.

Dream On Me Ashton’s Convertibility Review

The Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib can transform into a toddler bed, a daybed, or a full-size adult bed. This is great, but you will have to buy the conversion kits for the transformation into a toddler bed and full-size bed.

Except for some exceptions, such as Babyletto, this is common to all convertible cribs, so I do not consider it a drawback.

What I don’t like is the number 5-in-1 in the crib’s name. It can be misleading to someone, thinking he will get more than he actually will. The Dream On Me Ashtons’s fourth and fifth conversions are both full-size beds (a full-size bed with or without a footboard).

We’ve seen such a conversion in almost all 4-in-1 convertible cribs we’ve reviewed so far, so it would have been better if Dream On Me had changed the name of the Ashton crib.

Anyway, the transformations are not complex and shouldn’t take too much time if you follow the provided instructions. Furthermore, the crib stays stable and doesn’t wobble after conversions!

Ashton crib’s convertibility:

  • NUMBER OF CONVERSIONS: 4
  • CONVERSION TYPES: crib, toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed
  • TOODLER BED SAFETY RAIL: DOM Toddler guardrail (Style# 692), which is not included

Does it have room for under-crib storage?

The Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 convertible crib sits pretty low compared to some other convertible cribs we’ve reviewed so far. You can slide smaller storage bins under it, though I would not rely on this space. If you need extra storage space, I recommend you think about a convertible crib with a trundle drawer under it.

Is this crib suitable for short moms?

The stated height is the height of the back of the crib. The front is slightly lower. Our measurements show it is about 36.6 inches high, which is higher form convertible cribs that we consider the best for short moms. Nevertheless, low-profile cribs are only an inch or two lower than the Dream On Me Ashton, so it is your choice if that makes a significant difference for you.

Is it hard to assemble?

I find the step-by-step instruction guide pretty easy to follow. Follow the descriptions, and you shouldn’t have significant problems with the assembly. All crib parts are labeled; there are many pictures for a more straightforward idea of putting it together.
