Delta Children Hayden 5-in-1 Convertible Crib review

The Delta Children Hayden W106140 is a metal full-size crib sold in Matte Black, Tea Green and Warm Grey. Its name counts five intended furniture arrangements: a full-size crib, toddler bed, daybed, sofa and a headboard-only full-size bed. The daybed and sofa are two descriptions of the same low-rail setup, not two separately documented crib sizes. This is a research-based assessment of Delta’s U.S. product record and its linked manual; I did not assemble or use a crib, inspect a seller carton, or independently test its safety claims.

One W106140 family, three finish codes

Delta’s U.S. crib collection snapshot identifies one Hayden 5-in-1 product record, ID 7719881834696. Its structured listing names three exact finish SKUs: Matte Black W106140-1394 (UPC 080213134068), Tea Green W106140-355 (080213137458) and Warm Grey W106140-1525 (080213134075). The manufacturer page presents these as color choices under one model. I found no sourced functional or dimension difference between them, so they remain one reviewed W106140 family, while their individual codes and images stay distinct. The frozen collection row makes Hayden a current-reference model here; that classification describes the observed source record, not live stock.

Check the actual footprint, not the styling

Delta lists the crib at 54.25 inches wide, 44.75 inches high and 30 inches deep, with a product weight of 52 pounds. Those are manufacturer-listed product values, not my measurements and not the extra space needed to carry the box through a doorway, reach the hardware or convert the frame. On this finder’s half-inch width grid, a 54-inch ceiling is too small for the listed 54.25-inch width; the first ceiling that admits it is 54.5 inches. That is only a comparison of the crib’s stated width. Check the room and access route separately. The product page also lists the shipping carton as 44 by 6 by 60 inches and 64 pounds; treat those as maker-listed shipping specifications rather than a promise about a particular retailer’s parcel.

The visual draw is a rounded metal frame with closely spaced vertical spindles and raised end panels. Delta describes the crib as durable steel, but that is the manufacturer’s material statement, not an independent materials analysis. The shape is more ornamental than a plain rectangular rail crib, while the open metal construction avoids the wood-and-drawer look of some storage models. The maker image shows the crib with styled bedding; bedding in a photograph is not evidence that it comes in the box.

Five labels, four distinct setups

The full-size crib is the initial sleeping configuration. Delta lists three mattress-support positions. The linked 44969-W106140 booklet specifies a standard full-size crib mattress at least 27 1/4 by 51 5/8 inches and no thicker than 6 inches. Delta says the mattress is sold separately, so the fit dimensions should not be confused with inclusion. The manual says the highest position is for a very small baby and requires the top of the front crib side to remain at least three inches above the mattress surface in that position. It directs caregivers to lower the support as the child grows and to use the lowest setting once a child can pull to standing. It also says to stop using the crib when the child begins to climb out or reaches 35 inches, whichever happens first. Follow the warnings in the instruction booklet that matches the frame’s own label.

A toddler-bed arrangement uses the manufacturer’s W106725 guardrail. The page identifies that rail as a separate purchase, and the product listing warns that its guardrail is not universal; the linked W106140 manual itself names W106725. The manual sets a minimum age of 15 months and maximum user weight of 50 pounds for this toddler-bed setup. These are mode-specific limits, not a reason to leave the crib in service past its crib stop conditions. Confirm the exact crib label, guardrail code, finish and seller package before assuming the rail is included or interchangeable.

For the daybed/sofa mode, the instructions show the front rail removed and a separate low conversion rail installed. Delta’s page says the Daybed/Sofa Rail is included, but I did not inspect a physical box or a seller’s offer; verify the parts list in the actual package. The manual treats daybed and loveseat sofa as one low-rail arrangement. It requires that conversion rail and the lowest mattress-support position, so a photo of a bare crib does not establish that the rail is present.

The final advertised arrangement is a full-size bed with the crib’s back rail serving as the headboard. Delta says a standard metal bed frame is separate. The manual likewise says the bed-frame system is not included and attaches it to the retained headboard using hardware from the bed rails. The reviewed W106140 instructions do not name a specific bed-rail style, and they do not document a footboard. Delta’s general conversion-rail pages tell shoppers to consult the crib’s own instructions for compatibility; I would not assume a similarly numbered rail fits without that bridge.

Where this model fits—and where it does not

Hayden is a plausible shortlist candidate if a family wants one full-size metal crib frame, values the three finish choices, has room for a 54.25-inch-wide product and is willing to buy the standard mattress separately. It is less convenient if the requirement is a complete crib-and-mattress package, a documented rolling setup, or a smaller sleep-surface stage. The reviewed listing and manual describe no mini, midi or bassinet crib configuration and no wheel-bearing crib plan. The advertised count is about successive furniture arrangements, not a compact bassinet-to-crib system. If the eventual full-size bed matters, budget and space for the separate frame and verify exact hardware before buying.

Delta states that the crib is JPMA certified to meet or exceed CPSC and ASTM standards and describes its paint as lead- and phthalate-safe. Those remain manufacturer claims in this review; I examined no certification file or independent test. The narrow SaferProducts.gov ProductName=W106140 query saved for this research returned an empty response. That is not comprehensive recall research, unit or lot clearance, or proof that no notice exists; check current official notices against the exact label before purchase.

Resolve the instruction version before assembly

The product page links a 44-page PDF titled for 44969-W106140(A)-R0. Its first cover has blank style, lot and date fields and asks the owner to match the information to the left crib-end label. The downloaded file also contains an internal English booklet cover dated September 7, 2023, while its first cover is dated December 5, 2023; both are marked R0. That source packaging does not identify the manual supplied with any particular unit, finish or lot. Before assembly or conversion, match the paper or electronic instructions to the actual frame label and use the exact W106725 part only as the manual permits.

In short, Hayden’s distinctive metal styling and documented furniture sequence are its strengths; the trade is a 54.25-inch full-size footprint and multiple separate-part checks. The three finish SKUs have separate identities but no documented functional distinction. The crib mattress and toddler guardrail are stated to be separate, the included-rail claim should be checked against the seller’s package, and the headboard-only adult-bed route needs a separate frame. This library records those boundaries rather than treating the “5-in-1” label as a complete box list.
