DaVinci

We got a Davinci crib and I love it! Very sturdy, good quality and under $200. I'm sure something from Pottery Barn would look just a little nicer but I can't justify $500+ on a crib

Like carseats, all newly constructed baby cribs, and baby mattresses for that matter, have safety regulations they have to pass. A $1500 crib is just as safe as a $200. The $80 Graco crib mattress is just as safe as the $700 Newton one. We have a Da Vinci crib/ convertible to a toddler bed, and dresser and we like both, style looks good to us and both are very sturdy and well-made.

Strangely enough you have listed two brands that I know are Greenguard certified and are not supposed to have any VOCs. We have DaVinci furniture and I definitely didn't notice any smells when we first got it.

I have a Colby 4-in-1 low profile by davinci with open space underneath, and a davinci crib with a trundle storage thing under. Something I didn't realize is that it's kind of a pain(very minor) to not be able to have your feet under the crib when bending down to pick up baby. Like very very very minor, but I keep hammering my toes into the storage drawer on the new crib now.

They will both get nibbled on when those teeth come in. ;). I had a Babyletto with my first, but also had a Da Vinci mini crib in my room before I graduated him to his Babyletto in his own room. The Da Vinci had wiggly legs, and according to reviews I wasn't the only one with that issue. The Babyletto was definitely constructed more solidly. The toddler bed was included in the price, which I appreciated, some cribs the toddler attachment is purchased separately. But yeah, all cribs are going t

We ended up having to return our Davinci crib. The spindles were not flush with the top rail leaving rough edges. I didn't want my baby to get cut on it. They sent us a replacement but we had the same issue. We ended up getting a Dadada crib from Bambi baby. They delivered and put the crib together for us.
