Truck Crib with Changing Table

Sure there are cribs that come with a changing table. But have you seen one that is also a truck? It doesn’t only look cute and awesome, it makes the job easier too. This is definitely the number one on our list!

This will make life easier for all the bleary-eyed parents. And when the kids outgrow the crib it makes a great yarn storage and knitting chair. Before starting the project find a mattress and cushion of your choice and adjust the plans dimension accordingly.

Now this is a DIY Crib that makes the perfect bedroom decor, too! But that’s not the only thing we love about the moon-shaped cradle – it makes picking up or laying down your child easier and it’s very inexpensive to make since you can build one using reclaimed timber!

Cardboard Cradle

OK – this is not a DIY crib. It’s Album di Famiglia’s Customizable Cardboard Cot that costs $255. How is it customizable? Well since, it’s a cardboard box, you can decorate it anyway you want – paint it or simply write your baby’s name on the side… What are your thoughts on this unusual crib?
