Emily Davinci Crib Multiple Reviews

-I love this crib. I original bought this crib for my daughter. She is now temporarily grown out of it. Now my son is using it. Ones he is out of it I will then give it back to my daughter to use as a double bed. I love how long it has lasted and that it converts into a day bed and then into a double

-We just bought and assembled this crib and we are really happy with it. It was a bit difficult to put together, but once it was done we were impressed with how sturdy and gorgeous it looked. Great quality!

- After doing a lot of looking around, my husband and I decided to purchase the "Emily" crib from the Million Dollar Baby Co. One of the things I liked about the crib was the nice flowing lines and the lack of spindles and harsh corners. Looking back, I realize that I might have sacraficed a bit of practicality for appearance's sake. In the picture that accompanies this review, they show the crib after it has been converted to the full size bed (doesn't make much sense for a crib review, huh?) A better picture of the "Emily" crib is available the manufacturer's website URL:

First off, this crib is super easy to assemble. It comes with very easy to follow directions and my husband had the crib together in under 45 minutes. The crib does not come with a crib mattress, but you can purchase a sturdy one for under $50. This crib, unlike many you might remember from past years, does not have any moving parts. Everything is connected and solid, with the exception of the mattress "frame" which is lowered as your child gets older, essentially dropping the height of the mattress to prevent your child from crawling out. I loved this, because I hated having to lower the side of cribs when I used to babysit as a teenager, because they would seem to always get jammed or stuck on their track. The mattress frame is easily lowered, for your convienience.

One of the selling points of this crib was that it is considered a "convertible", meaning it goes from a crib to a toddler bed, to a full size bed (as seen in the picture above) with minimal work. Since we are most likely having only one child, I wanted to have a crib that we would continue to get further use out of and not just wind up selling it or keeping it in the attic. I know that we will be able to get years of use out of this "crib", well into her teenage years when we can convert it into a full size bed for her room.

There has been one downside that we have noticed so far. As with most babies, you'd like to be able to hang a mobile on the side of the crib to entertain and relax your child. Or you might want to attach one of the popular items like the Fisher Price Crib Aquariums to the side to soothe the baby with ocean noises and sights. Due to the size of the cribs side frame area above the slats being too big, I have yet to find a mobile that can attach. Additionally, I can't attach the aforementioned crib aquarium to the side because the same reason. It looks like the only place I can safely it to is the foot of the crib. I will let you know though if I can find a good mobile that fits this crib with ease!

Overall, this is a beautiful crib at a very reasonable price. Aside from a few decorative issues, I'm thrilled that I bought it...

Angel Line Jenny Lind Crib

Baby Bedding Reviews

When I was expecting my second child eight years after the first, I needed to purchase all new baby furniture. After five years, I didn�t think I would have another baby and gave all my stuff away. Well my mother-in-law made my baby furniture shopping easy because she bought me my son�s crib. When she found a crib she liked, she asked me to go look at it before she purchased it. She wanted to make sure I liked it first. The crib she picked out was the Oak EvenFlo Jenny Lind Crib.

To the store I went to check out this crib. I first did some research on the internet. I read many positive things about the Jenny Lind Crib but it is always the bad that sticks in your mind. I read that one person had problems with the side staying up and that it was cheaply made. Well of course I didn�t want a crib that my new baby could possibly fall out of. I made hubby come along so we could make the right decision.

At first sight, I liked the look of the Jenny Lind Crib. It didn�t look cheaply made. It looked like the more expensive models but with a cheaper price tag. Of course I was not willing to take any chances so hubby went over it with a fine tooth comb. We both were satisfied that not only was it a nice looking crib (hubby could have cared less about that part) but also a safe environment for our new baby and we gave Grammie the OK.

About a week later, the box was in my nursery and hubby was ready to set it up. Hubby had it set up in about a half an hour (with no cursing) so it must not have been that difficult or contrary to set up.

The Lind Crib is made of wood with stabilizer bars. It measured 55 inches long by 31 inches wide by 45 inches high. The crib has a five-position, posture-perfect mattress support and childproof rail release. It has four wheels on each leg for easy mobility. The one side of the crib lowered for easy sheet changing.

When hubby set up the crib, he put the mattress setting on the lowest setting and we never changed it. We never truly tested the five mattress positions. So we have no experience on if it is easy or not to change the settings. If you would use the mattress settings you would want to keep it at the highest setting when the baby is first born and move it down as your baby gets older.

As I stated earlier, the one side of the crib lowered for ease in changing of the sheets. There is a child proof rail release on it that you need to press to lower the side. I never had any problems with the rail coming down when my son was in the crib. He even tried crawling over the rail a few times and it held up to his weight.

The Jenny Lind Crib can be purchased at Babies R Us. I don�t recall what the price was since we weren�t paying for it. With searching online, I did find it on sale for $79.99.

This is just silly but I can�t believe that this crib didn�t come with a mattress. Maybe all cribs are like that but I just found that odd. I assumed they would come with a mattress. Grammie had to go out and purchase that separately. This was not an issue, she was able to find a standard crib mattress that fit perfectly.

The crib came in three different colors. There was White, Cherry and Oak (which is what we got). This makes it easy to purchase for any nursery.

My son used this crib for a year and a half. The only reason he moved into a big boy bed that early was because he wanted to be like big brother. He could have stayed in his crib for a few more months if needed, but he didn�t want to. Now his cousin uses the crib. (We are definitely done having children!) It withstood my son and still looks like new.

The only bad thing I can say about this crib is that I did have problems with crib toys. There were a few crib toys that I could not get to stay on this crib. I don�t know if it was because of the design or what, but there were a few toys that wouldn�t stay on the rails.

The Jenny Lind Crib is easy to clean. I would wipe it off with a swiffer once a week and it stayed bright and shiny.

If purchasing the Jenny Lind Crib, they do have a whole line of baby furniture. This is was an important factor for us since I needed all new furniture. I wanted my furniture to match. Grammie bought us the crib and the changing table. In my opinion, the line is attractive looking and not too costly.

The Jenny Lind Crib is made by EvenFlo. EvenFlo is a name that I have known for years. EvenFlo to me means baby. I have many other EvenFlo products and have always been pleased with them. They make quality baby items.

Our Jenny Lind Crib has been around for over three years now and is still going strong. Maybe I will get some more nieces and/or nephews that can use the crib in the future. (I can hope!)

Let me put your mind at ease- the few bad things I heard about the Jenny Lind crib before I purchased it were not true in our case. Our crib was a quality crib that I was confident would keep my child safe.

If you are in the market for a quality crib that wont hurt your pocketbook, I highly recommend Evenflo�s Jenny Lind Crib. You and your baby will get a good nights sleep with a Jenny Lind Crib.
