New For Babies

Why pay for a toddler bed and a crib when you may purchase both with a DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib?  The Davinci Kalani convertible baby crib is one of the newest in the collection of quality baby cribs from DaVinci, an innovator in convertible baby cribs. Comprable to the other cribs in the line, the DaVinci Kalini convertible baby crib can be changed from a baby crib to a toddler bed.

A child needs to be in a crib until he or she reaches about 2 years old.  At that point, you should try to move a baby to a bed. Some parents are concerned that regular beds are too large for toddlers so they elect to move babies from cribs to toddler beds. Toddler beds are lower to the ground and use railings to prevent children from falling out. The DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib easily converts to a toddler bed after your baby is the correct size to come out of the crib.

When your baby is brand new, you should have the mattress on a DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib on the top level. That will make certain that your baby is protected by the bars of the crib but is at the same time easy to reach. Quite a few new mothers use the baby crib as a place to change the baby, which the crib will accommodate when the mattress is properly adjusted, enabling you to reach in.

The DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib enables you to reach in and touch your baby, without being required to bend over and lift him.  There are no movable parts in this  crib which is remarkably easy to put together.  Virtually anyone can assemble this crib in less than half an hour.  When it is set up, it is a snap to use.  You can configure the mattress for several practical levels that are needed as baby gets bigger. 

Although you need to have the mattress as high as possible while you have a newborn, you should lower the mattress once that baby grows older and starts scooting around his crib.  Just before a baby will sit up without your help, you will want to adjust the mattress to the lowest rung in the crib.  Growing babies routinely try to haul themselves up using the crib railings so that they are able to watch mama.  You naturally prefer to have the mattress low so that the child can stand but not get out of the crib and to the floor.

As the little one starts showing you that he is trying to actively climb out of that crib, that child is too talented for a crib and ought to be moved into a bed.  At that very moment, you may not feel comfortable placing him in a bed, so you could transform the DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib into a toddler bed for him.  As your child gets older and outgrows that toddler bed, you may transform the DaVinci Kalani convertible baby crib into a daybed or a youth bed.

Having a baby girl is a wonderful experience, and one of the best parts is designing that perfect, adorable nursery for her. One of the most important considerations will be the girl’s crib bedding. No matter what style you’re looking for, you’re bound to find something you like - the selection is huge.

Boys’ nurseries are cute, but they simply cannot compare to the level of cuteness you find in a girl’s room. A boy’s nursery will never look right filled with frilly, lacy bedding and accessories, so having a girl will finally give you the excuse to buy that bedding you’ve always wanted.

Pick a very light color (or even white), with lots of embroidery, if you’re looking for a traditional nursery. Other great feminine ideas include paisley, baby bonnets, gingham, or pink and sage crib bedding.

A princess theme has got to be one of the all-time classics for girls’ nurseries, and it’s easy to find bedding that will fit the theme perfectly - pink taffeta, for example. Another great option is Disney Princesses. You can buy everything from bedding to light switch covers if you go this route, so planning the decor is pretty simple.

Another great girl’s theme is flowers. You’ll need to consider whether you want a simple, modern design or a more intricate and traditional one. From soft pinks to bright yellows or purples, a floral design can accommodate just about any color scheme.

Characters from popular books or nursery rhymes also work well for nursery bedding. There’s Cinderella, Snoopy, Care Bears, or a hundred others. The really great thing about this theme is that the room will grow in significance as your daughter grows in age.

Unless you know this is your last (or only) child, it’s prudent to consider a bedding set that will work for either sex. There’s no guarantee you’ll have girl again next time. You don’t need to sacrifice looks in order to buy a gender neutral bedding set, there are lots of great choices that are also trendy and cute.
