Hayneedle- DaVinci Alpha Mini Rocking Crib Review and Rocking Bassinet with Storage Baskets Giveaway!

*THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

Living in a small house with 4 children and 2 adults, space is limited. I would love to sell our current home and buy a much bigger place, but with the current real estate market it is not looking hopeful. Meanwhile we learn to maximize the space we have. One way we are making our limited space work for our large family is by putting all 3 of our sons in one room. This is our big winter project! We will be moving all 3 boys into the master bedroom. To make the boys more comfortable, we decided to try a mini-crib for our baby instead of having a full size crib in the bedroom. I think it will work out great!

Hayneedle has a large variety of products from over 200 specialty stores, anything you could possibly need or want! One of the areas they specialize in is baby cribs. I recently was given the opportunity to try their DaVinci Alpha Mini Rocking Crib. This mini-crib is awesome! It is not your usual fold up porta-crib. This crib has the quality and features you expect to find in a full size crib, only smaller. This mini-crib is made of sturdy hardwood construction, adjusts to four heights, is JPMA Certified to ensure crib safety (no dangerous drop down side!) and comes in 4 beautiful finishes.

The DaVinci Alpha Mini Rocking Crib came to my house neatly packaged without a dent or scratch! It came with instructions and even the allen wrench needed to put the crib together.

My husband and son looked perplexed in this picture, but don't be fooled it was actually quite simple to put together!

Dimensions: 40L x 26W x 35.5H inches

This crib is approximately the size of a "Pack and Play" only taller. If you remove the wheels, this crib becomes a rocking cradle for infants! I love the versatility of this crib and the fact it can be used from birth to toddler-hood just as other full size baby cribs.

The mini-crib comes with a 1-inch Foam Mattress Pad. Pictured above is a 3" compact crib mattress I purchased separately. The 1" pad is fine if using this crib at Grandma's house, but if you will be using this on a day to day basis for your baby I recommend investing in a thicker more comfortable compact crib mattress for your child.

Another great feature on this mini-crib is the teething rails, ensuring teeth and wood are protected! Every mom can appreciate this.

Now I just need to buy some cute boy baby bedding and finish up the boys room so baby J is not surrounded by pink walls in his big sister's room!

To sum things up, the DaVinci Alpha Mini Rocking Crib is the perfect sized crib for grandparent's house, church nurseries, and for anyone in need of space! I am absolutely thrilled with this crib and don't think I will ever purchase a full size crib again. It is way too convenient to have the extra space.
