Discount Baby Crib By Da Vinci

The "Emily" discount baby crib by Da Vinci is definitely a great convertible crib. I will discuss the features in a second, but first let's look at the price. I found that this Emily crib model (#M4791E), typically retails for around $279.

So you're probably asking yourself - why is this crib in the discount cribs category?

Answer - I found it for half price ($140) at planet overstock, which is an Ebay store.

Yes, the exact same model, with the same features.

Ok, so let's look at some of these features:

• It is ebony black in color
• The mattress height may be adjusted to 4 different levels (this is important as your baby grows)
• The assembly is quick and easy
• Made from fine pine wood
• Engineered in the manner so that parents may lift baby from the crib with ease
• Convertible to toddler bed (guard rail included)
• Convertible to full size bed with the addition of bed rails that are sold separately - model#M4799
• A 1" mattress pad is also included (I would personally not use it, instead invest in a better mattress/pad)
• The guard rail, headboard, and footboard are all included (used for conversion)

If you look at the crib itself, it does not look bad at all. In my opinion it looks stylish enough (which shouldn't matter).

With this discount baby crib expect to save money in the long run. Since it converts to a full-sized bed, a day bed, and a toddler bed.

What about SAFETY?

• It is certified by JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacturer's Association)
• Meets or exceeds all U.S. safety standards
• contains no moving parts
• The finish is non-toxic
• 100% formaldehyde free

The manufacturer (Da Vinci) obviously recommends using this crib with the Da Vinci M5324C 2-in-1 Emily Crib Mattress. I don't think that's necessary. As long as the crib mattress that you choose is of high quality and fits tightly inside this crib.

The wood that is used is from sustainable forests. This is important, since we all know that we need to do everything possible in order to minimize our ecological footprint.
