As a rule, modern cribs for sale, which are recommended for children from 0 to 3 years old, consist of detachable parts.

Then you can attach everything back and it will seem that the baby cribs Miami (as well as the other variants) have always been a whole unit.
But such constructions can’t be considered to be the reliable ones, as their strength usually depends on bad connection elements.
All components of the kid’s bed as well as a portable crib should have a rigid fixation. In assembled condition the parts do not have to move. Unsteady segments are rather dangerous for the kid’s safety. Please, mind that after the changing of height position the adjustable bottom should be fixed properly, otherwise it will move aside.
RULE # 1
Kids cots , especially for the babies aged from one to three years old, should be constructed in a proper way, which guarantees the situation, when some parts as well as the sides can be removed by adults only.
