recommendation on deciding baby crib model and nappy changing area

Hi mummies, I am an FTM currently in week 29. I am renting a 2 bedroom HDB flat and planning on putting baby crib in my room, a bit of space constraint. I am still confused what baby crib to buy. Some sellers recommend buying models that can cater until the baby are toddlers or 4-5yo. Or should I buy bedside crib instead? What about changing area, I dont think I can have a dedicated changing area. So what are the pros and cons? #Needadvice #firsttimemom

Hi mummy! I use Joie Illusion Cot - has a pull-out changing table and can be converted into playpen. I used the built in changing table until about 3-4 months then before baby start rolling I switched to using a waterproof mat on the bed. For the cot itself I feel like I preferred the mesh side because now that my baby is 7 months old and pulling up to stand, I lower the bed to the playpen level and he practises inside the cot so that when he falls he doesn't hit anything hard 👍 For the first 7 months I also stored all his stuff under the cot 🤣 so I feel it works pretty well. Only thing is some parts of the cot fabric isn't removable so cannot wash just the fabric - need to take out the entire piece. And for the first few months my baby sometimes peed when we open diaper LOL so it was a bit troublesome
