When it comes to choosing a crib for your baby, it seems that the choices and constantly changing varieties increase by the day. What may start off seeming like a fairly uncomplicated task of getting a bed for your baby ends up getting more and more confusing the more you search and read various product descriptions that the individual models can offer you.

If you intend to use the convertible crib after your child outgrows his or her toddler bed, you will want to make sure the crib will convert to the right sized bed with the optional side rails. Some cribs will convert to twin-sized beds, while others convert to full-sized. Many children’s bedrooms will not have room for a full-sized bed, plus a dresser, a desk, and other furniture needed by older children. For this reason, you should look beyond the style and make sure you will be able to use the crib as long as possible.

And now – the fun part. Convertible cribs come in hundreds of different styles and colors. Choosing a style that fits with the baby’s nursery dcor will be easy – but will it also fit into a toddler’s bedroom, or even a teenager’s? Are there other pieces of furniture available that will match? Does the style look right with the crib bedding that you have in mind?

Once your baby crib has been correctly assembled, whether that be a specific infant only crib or one of Da Vinci’s more popular convertible baby cribs, such as the Emily cribs or the Anastasia cribs, giving the crib a sturdy shake will prove how strongly fitting the structure is. This should be a test you should do with any crib that you buy for your baby, whether it is Da Vinci or any other brand. If the connecting parts on the crib move upon shaking or the crib structure looks and feels unstable, then ensure that the fittings are correct and tightened adequately, or if they are, then the crib itself just may be of poor quality. A Da Vinci crib does not feel unstable

The New Haven crib by Bassett looks very Shaker style in appearance. All four sides are straight with simple, thin elegant slats on three sides. The headboard has narrow wainscoting. The rails are square edged, with the rails on the sides having the slightest of curves. This Bassett crib is made from solid beech with beech veneers and comes in two finishes; cherry and natural – in my opinion the cherry is definitely the better finish.
