Delta Children Essex W113160 4-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changer review

This is a document-led assessment of the Delta Children Essex W113160, not a hands-on review. I did not assemble or use a physical crib, inspect a carton or unit label, measure a room, test mattress fit, or perform materials, emissions, durability or safety testing. Delta’s product page links W113160 Booklets A and B, but I could not verify those manual documents in this assessment; exact mattress limits and age, height, weight or stop-use thresholds are therefore left unstated. I have not carried those values over from the separate Essex W103150 crib-only model.

W113160 is the crib-and-changer, not the older Essex crib alone

The name Essex applies to more than one crib in the observed Delta Children library. This page concerns product 7984623288520, model W113160, titled “Essex 4-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changer.” Delta’s U.S. Cribs collection record lists two finish variants for this one product ID: Bianca White with Natural W113160-123 and Ebony with Natural W113160-1482. The exact product page currently displays the Bianca White with Natural finish and identifies W113160-123 with UPC 080213156879. No finish-specific functional difference is established. I have not verified a separate Ebony UPC, and the pictured finish should not be read as an exact photo of Ebony.

Do not confuse this with the older Essex W103150, assessed separately in this library. W103150 is a crib-only product family; W113160 is a larger combined furniture unit with an attached changing station and two shelves. The model code is the useful identity check when a product title merely says “Essex 4-in-1.”

The attached changing station is the practical distinction—and a footprint tradeoff

Delta describes a changing surface attached to the crib, with two storage shelves. The page lists each shelf at 28.25 inches deep by 17 inches wide by 9.75 inches high. That joined setup may help when a household wants a changing surface and nearby storage in the same furniture piece instead of a separate table. It also makes this more than a standard crib frame: leave room to approach the changing side, reach the shelves and move around the full assembly. The maker lists product dimensions of 71.25 inches wide by 34.25 high by 29.75 deep, with a listed product weight of 62.3 pounds. These are product-page specifications, not a measured room plan or access-clearance requirement.

For the finder’s half-inch width steps, 71 inches is below the listed 71.25-inch dimension and 71.5 is the first selectable ceiling that admits it. A width match only compares the maker’s listed product dimension with the answer; it does not establish that the whole unit, changing area, delivery path or assembly workspace fits a particular home. Measure the wall, doorway and circulation space, and verify which edges the manufacturer dimension spans before committing.

Four named arrangements are successive furniture modes

The exact page describes a full-size crib that can later become a toddler bed, daybed or sofa. Those are changes to the setup, not four simultaneous sleeping spaces or evidence of a mini-crib, bassinet or midi-crib mode. Delta says the daybed/sofa rail is included and names toddler guardrail W100825 as sold separately. Treat those as manufacturer listing statements, not confirmation of a seller’s carton, a used crib’s completeness or the hardware supplied with any particular unit.

The manufacturer page does not settle whether the attached changing station stays in place in every later arrangement. Nor was the W113160 assembly booklet checked to verify its specific parts list, conversion steps, age or weight warnings, or exact mattress fit limits. If you intend to convert the crib later, ask for the W113160 instruction booklet and confirm all required parts against the physical frame label. Do not buy by the Essex name alone or assume that rails and instructions for W103150 fit W113160.

Mattress package and crib-use details need an exact manual check

Delta’s product page presents a “No Mattress” choice and separately selectable standard and breathable mattress additions, so the base crib listing should not be treated as a mattress-included package. A seller may offer a different bundle; verify what the exact order contains. The page describes three mattress-support positions and says to start high and lower the support as a baby grows. That is not a substitute for the W113160 instructions: the document-specific mattress dimensions, support-position warnings and stop-use limits remain unverified here. The visible product image includes a styled mattress, which is not evidence that one is in the box.

Claims and limits of this assessment

Delta states that the crib is JPMA certified to meet or exceed CPSC and ASTM safety standards and makes material and finish claims on its product page. Those are attributed manufacturer statements; this review did not independently audit a certificate, test emissions or analyze materials. A narrow SaferProducts.gov query for W113160 returned no records, but that single empty keyword response is not a comprehensive recall search or clearance for a particular unit. Check the exact model, date/lot label and manufacturer notices for the crib you are considering.

W113160 is worth comparing when the sought setup is a full-size crib with an attached changing station and built-in shelves, and the larger published width works for the room after access and assembly space are considered. It is not a documented option for a mini, bassinet or midi start, and its base listing does not establish an included mattress. Before ordering, confirm the precise W113160 finish, mattress package, guardrail contents, W113160 manual and total assembled footprint. This assessment reports source-supported product details and specific unknowns; it predicts neither seller stock nor performance in a home.
