Convertible Crib Comparison - What Makes dadada Baby Different?

First comes the “baby on the way” announcement, then comes the registering, showering, nesting, and shopping! New babies need a lot of gear, and for first time parents, figuring out what to invest in, where to save, and what to skip can be quite an adventure. 

At dadada Baby, we believe that some choices should be simple. 

Out of all the hundreds of decisions you’ll make while getting ready for baby, there’s one simple decision we feel especially confident saying “Don’t you worry - we’ve got this!” -  choosing the right crib. We’ve spent years making sure our convertible cribs are baby safe, beautiful, and built to last, and we think they’re a clear and easy choice when planning your new baby’s nursery. Here’s why:

3-in-1 is better than Single Use

Each dadada Baby Convertible Crib, like our popular Soho 3-in-1 Convertible Crib, is designed to grow with your baby and serve more than one purpose. For newborns, you’ll start with the crib mattress set to the highest position for easy reaching that protects your back and supports postpartum recovery. As baby grows and learns to sit and stand, you can adjust the mattress lower to make sure they stay safe and secure.

And once your little one starts climbing, it’s time to transition to a toddler bed! With a simple attachment, our convertible cribs become toddler beds that utilize the same crib mattress while giving your toddler the developmentally appropriate independence they need. 

By investing in a crib that grows with baby, you’ll not only save money by not needing to purchase a new bed in just a year or two - you’ll also help keep more single-use furniture out of our landfills, which is an important way to care for our planet.

Which brings us to our second reason a dadada Baby convertible crib is the best choice for your nursery…

Natural Solid Wood > Particle Board/Fast Furniture

Listen, we love accessible prices and cute furniture as much as anybody. But when it comes to making furniture that your baby will spend a huge percentage of their childhood sleeping in, we aren’t willing to compromise or cut corners on quality. That’s why every dadada Baby convertible crib is made from solid beechwood, a strong, durable, and beautiful natural material that we trust to hold our own babies while they dream, as well as yours.

Made in Italy > Mysterious Manufacturing

Speaking of not cutting corners on quality construction, one of our values at dadada Baby is making sure we know exactly where, how, and by whom your crib is made. We partner with Italian craftspeople who have been in the furniture business for almost a century. With their partnership, every dadada Baby convertible crib is made in Italy according to the highest international standards for safety. Our cribs are designed to help everyone sleep easier - baby in comfort, and you in the comfort of knowing your little one is resting in a trustworthy bed.

Baby Safe Finishes & Breathability > Vintage Finds and Unknown Chemicals

Vintage nursery decor has been trending for a long time, and we love the look and the cozy vibes. But when it comes to choosing a crib, vintage and hand-me-down options have too many variables. If you’re going to invest in one new item for the nursery, make it the crib. That way, you can make sure your baby is surrounded by baby-safe finishes, plenty of airflow, appropriately spaced slats, and sturdy construction.

Heirloom Quality Investment > Buy, build, break, replace cycle

In today’s world of big box stores and major discounts, we’re all in danger of accumulating a ton of stuff. By stuff, we don’t mean necessary items or joy-bringing pieces. You know the stuff we’re talking about - cheap, impulse buy items that break quickly, or never get put together in the first place because they’re missing a few parts and pieces. The kind of stuff that comes into your house, never really gets used, creates clutter, and eventually gets donated or recycled. 

We’re here to help make sure your nursery is stuff-free, and full of curated pieces that bring your family lasting joy. When you purchase a dadada Baby crib, you’re purchasing a Made in Italy, baby-safe, grow-along-with-you, durable solid wood piece with timeless design intended to last through siblings, grandkids, and beyond. 

There are plenty of decisions to make as new parents, but this is simple. When you choose a dadada Baby Convertible Crib, you choose an heirloom that will collect moments and memories, that will add beauty and functionality to your nursery, and that carries the potential to be part of your family for generations to come.

What could be simpler than that?
