DaVinci Kalani 4-in-1 Convertible Mini Crib in White | Greenguard Gold Certified

When we were expecting our son in 2012, we decided to buy a mini-crib for a number reasons: 1) Space - we wanted to keep the baby in our room for a while, but could not accommodate a larger crib. Further, we didn't feel the desire to convert his crib into a full-size bed later. Twin size was preferred, which is possible with this model. 2) Continuity - We wanted a baby bed that would last a while. Son is 16 months old now, tall-ish, and still fits pretty well. I think we have at least a few more months. We plan to transition directly to a twin bed/mattress. Our situation was also a little unique in that we were moving to a new home approximately 3 months after the baby was born, but wanted to keep our son in a bed he was used to, even if everything else changed. We were afraid a bassinet or ArmsReach would be outgrown before the move, and that we'd have to get another crib anyways. 3) Thrift - mini-cribs are way cheaper than full-size ones. Note: we did replace the included pad with a better mattress. The crib was a good deal with or without the pad. We went with this particular model due to its style, price, non-toxic finish, and sturdiness. The natural wood color is very nice and barely shows scuffs, unlike some of our other "espresso" furniture. Assembly was pretty easy. We actually took the fourth side off and "sidecarred" the crib to our bed for the first 8 months, using bungee cords. The height matched nicely since there are four settings on the crib, and we were able to adjust it to match a platform bed, or mattress and box spring on the floor. We started on the highest setting, and pretty much moved it down as our son got older and potentially more able to fall out. When the crib was first side-carred, there was a gap of a few inches between the mattress and the bed. So we cut a piece of masonite a couple inches wider than the crib and put it on the bottom of the three-sided crib. Then, we moved the mattress over towards the bed and rolled up a towel to put in the gap between the mattress and the crib side opposite the bed. Put a sheet over everything, and voila, gapless cosleeping arrangement. (My definition of cosleeping here is to have the baby at the same level as the bed and close enough to reach out to, but in his own space for the majority of the night.) We used this arrangement for naps too, and just put a body pillow on the bed/crib seam where the 4th side would have been to prevent rolling/crawling out. This setup lasted about 7-8 months for us (until baby was able to crawl over the body pillow) before we put the 4th side back on the crib and moved it a little further from the parental bed. The setup in general was very convenient for late night feedings, rather than having to zombie-walk around the room/house multiple times a night. Anyways, I recommend this crib, especially if you are looking for a potential longer-term (to toddler age) cosleeping arrangement but don't want to share your bed or have room for something larger.

My 14 month old is an escape artist... I bought this crib because of the height. These are the pros: -Highest crib I found to make it harder for my little one to climb. - Great price for the materials. - Materials are strong, it feels very firm. - Very easy to put together with clear pictures and instructions. - Great for small rooms, it is not a full size crib so make sure you are ok with measurements before buying. - Great colors selection to choose from. - Simple, clean and yet elegant design. - legs are lower to the floor incase you need to lower the mattress' base to the floor for extreme jailbrakers. 👌 (Buy this one) My little one failed to climb it, and I can still lower it even more... ;) - Very well packed and wrapped to prevent damages during shipping. Cons: I'm yet to find one... FYI: - It comes with a thin waterproof matress.. If you buy a regular size crib mattress it won't fit in this crib. Check the size if you are planning to buy a thicker one! I bought a memory foam mattress for portable play yards once it was safe for my little one. He loves it and he sleeps like it is meant to be!

After much deliberation (my son is 6 months old and we still hadn't purchased a crib!) I decided to buy a mini crib. It was a great price and I thought it would work better in my son's tiny nursery than a regular full sized crib. I am SO glad I bought this crib! It's small enough so that I was able to have it next to my bed as sort of a "co sleeper" but then when we moved it into my son's room it looked perfect in there. A full sized crib would have been way too big. This crib was fairly easy to put together - I did most of it by myself until the end when I needed my husband's help. It is well-made and the finish is beautiful. We love the espresso color. We love that we can use it as a head and foot board later on when he's in a twin sized bed. I bought the CRESCENT MINI CRIB 50 COIL MATTRESS by Da Vinci to use instead of the ridiculously thin mattress that came with it. The mattress I bought is the same thickness as a regular crib mattress and fits perfectly. The ONLY place (that I have found) that sells crib sheets that will fit this particular mattress is [...] (they are 25 dollars a piece! But very well made, and I think worth it). We also bough the breathable bumper in white for mini cribs. FITS PERFECTLY! All and all, we are extremely happy with this purchase. No disappointments. We were able to find accessories that work with it as well.

For the money, this crib is excellent. The assembly wasn't too hard, it is solid and really looks way more expensive than it is. The color is very nice if you like the dark stained wood look. It is a darker shade than the picture here seems to show. Our 6 month old (he is about 15lbs and 20 inches tall) outgrew his bassinet and this crib is perfect. The ONLY negative thing I found is that the finish scratches very easily and will not hold up well to normal use unless you are really careful. I only wish I knew of a non-toxic clear coat spray to coat the rails with because they will see the most use. I disagree with many of the reviews about the stock plastic coated 1 1/2" mattress. It is the appropriate thickness for a smaller baby and is firm, but not hard. If you read anything about SIDS, you'll know you don't WANT a thick, plush soft mattress. It breathes fine when covered with a mattress pad and sheets and our baby sleeps fine on it. Others here didn't like the MDF board that supports the mattress--I think it's fine. It is not designed to hold a tremendous amount of weight and it has a cross member in the center that makes pretty strong -- *within reason* -- no, it will not bear the weight of an older child jumping in it or a sleepy parent falling into it. I took a picture of the under side.

La cuna es muy bonita. Mide 100x70cm, sólo unos 10cm más ancha que el colecho Next2Me de Chicco. De manera que quedó exacta para el espacio limitado en mi recámara y aún así le servirá al menos hasta el año y medio o dos años, espero. Es fácil de armar (sí requerí la ayuda de mi esposo para sostener los lados en algunos momentos). Importantísimo leer todo el instructivo antes. Como leí que en algunos casos la madera olía, decidí sacar las piezas en la sala unos días. Lo que más olía era la base de mdf del colchón, pero muy poco. En realidad, la cuna grande que compré en Liverpool tardó mucho más en quitársele el olor a pintura para madera. Tiene 4 alturas, siendo la primera para recién nacido. La compramos cuando mi hijo empezó a sentarse a los 6 meses y el colecho ya no era seguro. Lo pusimos en la segunda altura, pero empezó a pararse y tratar de alcanzar cosas a la semana y tuvimos que bajarlo un nivel más. (Update: tras cumplir el año, hemos llegado a la altura más baja). El cambio de alturas es relativamente fácil, pero se requiere desarmar el panel frontal. En cuanto el colchón, trae una colchoneta suave de hule espuma de unos 3cm de ancho recubierta de vinilo que va sobre la base de mdf. No encontré un reemplazo que no tuviera cubierta de vinilo, así que iInicialmente usamos hule espuma de 7cm de grosor (cortado a medida de la colchoneta, 95x60cm, aunque de largo le faltaron un par de cm, porque queda un hueco), forrado con pellón y funda de popelina. Encima de la funda, un protector waterproof y sábanas, ambos de American Company, de 38x24x5" que usaba en el colecho. (Update: a sus 16 meses, conseguimos al fin un colchón propiamente, el Slumber Time Naturally de Simmons, de 4”/10cm y con cubierta de algodón, para mini cunas. Es firme y queda justo al tamaño de la cuna. Aún lo estamos probando).

El producto es hermosa y de excelente calidad, fácil de Armar h llego más rápido de lo estipulado. Sin duda lo recomiendo 100%

La compré con descuento pero ya teniéndola en persona, vale totalmente el costo normal. Buena calidad de pintura, bastante firme y se ve muy bonita. Después comprare el kit para convertirla en cama individual y tenerlo guardado en caso en que desaparezca el producto de Amazon. Excelente compra.

Tal como se muestra en la imagen, muy bonita, buen material y cabe en cualquier espacio.

Excelente calidad de producto, buen acabado y considero el tamaño ideal para bebes, sin embargo un detalle, no he logrado conseguir el colchón con las medidas correctas, si alguien sabe cual es el colchón correcto para comprar en esta misma plataforma o en la competencia agradecería me pasen el vínculo.
