Hubby and I are trying for numero dos at the moment (well, not this exact moment, how unseemly) and having a bona fide toddler, I would advise you on the convertible crib deal, however, to not put too much stock in the toddler bed. If you find a convertible you love, great! But if you find a crib that you love that doesn't convert, I'd buy it anyway. My son was all about the regular twin at 18 months, and most of my girlfriends' kids skipped the toddler bed phase and went straight to the twin as well. It's sort of a manufactured extra step that a lot of kids don't really need, IMO. If you really have a roller, you can always put on side rails or just leave the mattress on the floor for a few months! Good luck!

Some of the rooms feature the rather expensive but fabulous Sleepi bassinet/crib/toddler bed (it converts to all three, and then can become two chairs when you're done with babies) made by Stokke. http://www.stokkeusa.com/index.html All of Stokke's products look awesome and interesting.
