Delta Children Ellie W137160 5-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changer review

This desk-researched assessment compares Delta Children’s Ellie W137160 with the exact U.S. product page, structured model and finish data, the frozen Delta crib-catalogue row, the linked W137160 booklet and two official finish images. I did not assemble or use a crib, inspect a seller carton, test the changing surface, or measure a room. Manufacturer descriptions and dimensions below are source statements, not hands-on findings.

A full-size crib-and-changer with a dimension conflict worth resolving first

Ellie is sold as one full-size crib joined to a changing table. Delta describes a changing pad and two open shelves; unlike nearby Alice W136660, the inspected Ellie record does not describe a drawer. The listed setup includes three mattress-support positions. The maker’s photographs show the changing unit on the side of the crib, but neither a staged room image nor the product title establishes how much access space a nursery needs.

The exact page labels the assembly 30.75 inches wide, 38.5 inches high, and 42.25 inches deep. That set of axes does not reconcile with the linked W137160 booklet’s crib-mattress requirement: at least 27 1/4 by 51 5/8 inches, with thickness no greater than 6 inches. The 42.25-inch listed depth is shorter than the mattress’s required long dimension, and the reviewed source does not explain the orientation or conflict. I therefore do not treat the page’s 30.75-inch figure as an established assembled full-size-crib width or a dependable footprint. Measure only from a compatible source for the exact unit, and confirm the discrepancy with Delta before relying on a narrow-room fit. The product-width finder consequently does not match Ellie at any numeric width ceiling; it is safer to leave the width unknown than transfer an axis or guess.

There is a second source conflict: the page lists product weight as 58.52 pounds, while both variant rows in the structured product record list 72 pounds. I do not use either number as a settled shipping or handling fact. The package, delivery path and assembly access should be checked with the specific seller rather than inferred from those conflicting values.

Five named furniture arrangements, but not five crib sizes

Delta presents five stages: full-size crib, toddler bed, daybed, sofa and full-size bed with headboard. The first four names describe the product’s advertised sequence; the full-size bed is adult furniture, not a later full-size crib configuration. No mini-crib, bassinet or midi-crib sleep arrangement is documented on the exact page or in the reviewed booklet.

The manufacturer page calls the changer removable. The booklet’s changing-table warning says never to use the crib without the changing table attached. Its full-size-bed instructions do remove the changer during that separate conversion, but that does not establish a crib-only arrangement after removal. Follow the directions for the exact mode rather than treating “removable” as permission to detach it during crib use. The page names a Daybed/Toddler Guardrail Kit, model W137725, and a standard metal full-size bed frame as separate purchases. The booklet says a W137725 guardrail is used and calls the toddler/daybed rail available; seller package contents were not inspected, so check the exact offer and parts before planning a conversion.

The page lists a sofa stage, but the W137160 booklet reviewed has instructions for a toddler/daybed rail and a full-size-bed conversion, not a separate sofa assembly section. The marketing label and the reviewed assembly pages are not identical evidence. Ask Delta for the applicable sofa configuration and parts if that stage is important; do not substitute another model’s conversion instructions. The booklet cover is dated July 19, 2024 (45646, R0), while an interior page shows May 23, 2024 with the same document number/revision. It tells owners to match the style/date/lot information on the left crib end before contacting the maker. Use the booklet version matching the physical unit.

Mattress and changing-table limits belong to different uses

Delta says the standard crib mattress is sold separately. The minimum dimensions and 6-inch maximum thickness in the W137160 booklet are more useful than “standard size” alone, but the conflict with the page’s 42.25-inch depth means I cannot use the listed frame dimensions to settle the mattress orientation. Verify that a particular mattress fits the exact crib and follow its matching manual; do not use extra padding to fill a gap.

The booklet says to move the support to its lowest position once a child can pull to standing. It sets the crib stop condition at the first of climbing out or reaching 35 inches tall. For the changing station, its warning sets a 30-pound maximum recommended child weight, requires the supplied pad and its strap, and says the caregiver must stay within arm’s reach. These are different station and crib instructions; none is a general approval for another mode or child. The manual calls for adult assembly and warns against use with missing, damaged or substituted parts.

Two finish variants, one evidenced model family

The frozen Delta Children U.S. Cribs row and current product data identify Bianca White W137160-130 (UPC 080213161934) and Chestnut W137160-836 (UPC 080213163259), both under manufacturer product ID 14637449183600. The recorded finish names and UPCs identify the observed variants; the sources reviewed do not establish a functional difference between them. Their listed structured-record weights agree at 72 pounds, but that conflicts with the page’s 58.52-pound statement. The two official images are mapped to the exact model and finishes; the pictured room styling does not prove a seller’s included bedding, contents or finish-specific hardware.

Delta makes GREENGUARD Gold, JPMA, materials and safety-standard statements on the product page. This review records those as manufacturer claims; it does not independently verify a certificate, perform a chemical analysis, or test a crib. A narrow SaferProducts.gov keyword query for W137160 returned an empty response. That is not comprehensive recall clearance or a conclusion about any specific unit. The manufacturer page marks the model as exclusive to Walmart, but that label is not evidence of current stock, a package’s contents, or current price.

Who should compare Ellie—and what to confirm

Ellie may be worth examining if an attached changing surface and open-shelf storage are appealing and the household has room for a full-size crib-and-changer. Its conversion list is broad, but the standard mattress, W137725 rail and adult bed frame are not all the same package; its sofa instructions and the removable-changer wording need clarification. Most importantly, the published dimensions do not reconcile with the manual’s required mattress length, so I would not use the nominal width as a narrow-room match until Delta resolves the axes for the exact style.

Before choosing it, confirm the complete model code and finish, ask the seller what is in the box, check the exact manual against the crib label, and resolve the dimension and weight discrepancies with the manufacturer. Check the mattress against both the manual and physical crib, verify W137725 and the separate adult-bed frame if later stages matter, and allow room for safe access and assembly. The reviewed sources do not document wheels in the full-size crib arrangement. Open the finder with full-size start and later full-size crib selected; the numeric width condition intentionally remains unknown for Ellie. No exact Amazon ASIN has been established; any central destination is a clearly labelled full-model search, not an exact listing match.
