The standard width of such a transformer bed is 0.6 meters. A growing body will be cramped such a sleeper, even with the increase in length.
Standard mattresses for the crib do not take into account the possibility of changing the length, so the usual will be a bit short for the grown child. In this case, when changing the length of the bed, you will need to purchase a new mattress of the appropriate length.
The design may be disrupted due to hyperactivity of the baby. To adapt to the outside world, a child needs a periodic change of scenery. Many years of falling asleep in one bed quickly get tired of him.
