Review on ☕️ Espresso Rocking Crib: DaVinci Alpha Mini with Removable Wheels, Greenguard Gold Certification by Lisa Simmons

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If only it were in a darker espresso. Sticker removal takes 3 minutes

Was looking for an alternative to bedding as my baby will soon be up and out of them right away. I was happy to know that this is a mini crib that he can fit in for quite a while and it's amazing! If only I had found this before we bought a Jolly Jumper brand rocker for a low quality Badger Basket Moses basket that a 98th percentile kid outgrew way too quickly. This crib is great, the included mattress is more like a thin 1" super soft playground mattress (playground sheets will do). To do this, instead of using the supplied mattress, we bought a 3-inch Babyletto Pure mattress (organic maybe?) which is available through Revain but not through Revain Prime. Someone in another review mentioned that the stickers are very difficult to remove and that they tried a lot of things to remove them, we bought them in March 2016 and the production date is listed as February 2016. Stickers are easily removed with a razor blade. from the bottom of the sticker by swinging the blade up at an angle of about 5° to remove it. It was very difficult to separate when trying to remove it from top to bottom, but no matter how you apply it seems stickier on top than bottom. Excess sticker residue was easily removed with a paper towel lightly dampened with Goof Off/Goo Gone, and then I wiped away the oily sticker remover residue with a soapy cloth. It took about 3 minutes to remove both stickers. Not a big deal considering they're doing this for liability reasons, assuming it's not removed. This crib is very comfortable, allowing me to stay in bed half asleep while my child, who wakes up every two hours, falls back to sleep.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • No power
