Dream On Me Violet Mini Crib in Black – Safe & Stylish

Great buy!
I still love this Dream on Me mini crib 2 1/2 yrs now after we purchased it. We purchased it for our grand daughter when she was born. She takes her naps in it and occasionally spends the night. She is now 2 1/2 and because she doesn’t move around a lot when she sleeps still fits nicely and still uses it. It is sturdy, shows no sign of wear. I bought a reg size dream on me breathable mini crib mattress and that has been wonderful as well. She’ll be moving out of it soon as she has a new baby brother who will take up occupancy. I love that the crib has adjustable heights for the mattress. When they are a baby we keep it up high but as soon as necessary we lower it to the middle height then finally the lowest. We bought the dark grey color which I love. We put slider pads on legs for easy moving and cleaning. It’s sturdy but lightweight easy to move. As far as assembly it’s about like every thing else that has to be put together. Follow the direction step by step, be patient and you’ll be fine.

I love it
It’s very nice and sturdy, not too big perfect size that I wanted and it’s not heavy. I put it all together while eight months pregnant so it wasn’t too much to put together. I did purchase another mattress for it because I wasn’t feeling the one it came with.

Two inch maximum mattress height
We bought this in December 2019 for my now-ten-month-old. We have an older child who, at over two years old, still slept in a tiny corner of his standard sized crib and still loved his pack n play when we traveled. So we felt confident that a mini crib would work well and was perfect for our smaller nursery.Initially, I was disappointed by the lightweight feel of everything upon unboxing. I had been hoping for something as sturdy feeling as a standard crib. The side rail pieces feel flimsier and lighter than that. But, the mattress support piece is a solid board and adds the necessary weight to make this a safe piece of furniture. There were some areas where the finish wasn’t complete or perfect, along with some scratches, dents, and chips. None was overly noticeable on the “natural” wood finish, and I haven’t noticed them since putting the crib together. This looks beautiful in our space and I’m happy with it overall.HOWEVER! I have one huge complaint. Knowing this was going to be a full-time bed for my baby for hopefully two years, I decided to buy a proper mattress right away. Honestly, the one it came with had all the potential of working fine. It seems really similar to pack n play mattresses, which, as I’ve said, my two-year-old still slept fine on when traveling. But my older son is a terrible sleeper, and I knew if my second baby was having trouble, the first thing I would question was the mattress. And I knew I would spend approximately $1 billion in 2am Amazon purchases hoping to solve my baby’s sleep problems. So, good mattress from the get-go. The problem: nowhere, on Amazon’s product description, Dream On Me’s website, or any other product description I read, did it state that:THERE IS A TWO INCH MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR ANY MATTRESS USED WITH THIS CRIB.This is clearly stated in huge letters on the outside of the box and is essential information for purchasers! I ordered a five-inch mattress at the same time as the crib and was unable to return it. The reason for this limit is immediately obvious – a taller mattress is unsafe because it raises baby too close to the top of the rails and creates a fall hazard. At first, we were able to simply use a lower setting since the height is adjustable. Now that my daughter is ten months old, the mattress is on its lowest height. As soon as she starts to pull herself to standing (most babies already can at ten months) she will be way too high up on the rails to be safe. Even at 50th percentile height, it’s clear she’ll be too tall.Unfortunately, though my husband is quite handy, I don’t think we will even be able to adapt the crib by drilling new, lower holes to lower the mattress because of how the mattress support board is secured and the location of the joints and additional pre-drilled holes that are only used for the other non-crib configurations (see my photos.) Drilling new holes also is unlikely to work because it’s likely to create a pinch hazard between the top of the mattress and the bottom of the rails, especially since the horizontal rails curve. Not to mention adapting a crib frame is inherently unwise since it’s not safety tested.So, when my baby starts standing any day now, I’ll have to either ditch the nice mattress I bought and put the flimsy one in (my baby is likely to be pretty mad about that since she’s used to a much better standard) or ditch this crib. Super bummer, since both were equally expensive. Definitely avoidable if there had been proper information in the product description.

La cuna es hermosa!!! Muy buena calidad y después se convierte en cabecera de una cama individual

Relación costo – calidad esta bien, la cuna es pequeña, es dificil encontrar un colchón que encaje. Pero es ideal para espacios pequeños 👍🏻
