So, I'm going to be a grandpa! It's about time.

But that means I need to make something of wood and have it done by
early August!

I'm thinking of a crib that will convert into a bed and when I
search
for one, the Rockler "3-in-1 Transitional Bed Plan" seems to
dominate.
It looks doable and, with some modifications, like something I'd
like
to make for my grandchild. But are there other, better designs out
there?

Any crib/youth bed unit will have a relatively short service life
unless it gets passed along.

Think I'd consider a dresser, chest or similar case goods piece.
