I think the colors/finishes are slightly different but yes, from what I can tell they are exactly the same.. but then again I never saw the others in person, so I can't say for sure there are no differences in quality. I can say that we love our crib and don't find anything cheap about it. I don't hesitate to recommend it! Devon, it is indeed!

They all look exactly the same by the Baby Mod Parklane sold at Walmart is considerably less expensive so I'm inclined to go that route but concerned that its made of different materials, or has cheap hardware. Any suggestions? Is this the same crib that is sold at Albee baby under the name baby Miro by DaVinci? or at Target under the name DaVinci Mercer crib?

Great idea for those who are though! Hi Kayla,

Or crib bedding. I bought a 2 pack of white crib sheets and called it good. Bumpers are suffocation hazards and then they become step stools. And quilts are suffocation hazards. And pillows are suffocation hazards. When it comes to babies, AIR is a suffocation hazard. So I got frustrated and forewent the whole shebang and my bank account was happy. I totally love your crib bedding though. I have no clue how to get your bumper on there but I love it anyway. I recently saw a post on someone's blog somewhere about using the bumper for a window valance. Still get to use cute bedding without feeling like you might be contributing to your child's early demise. I didn’t even bother with a bumper. Or crib bedding.

I guess it will come out when Jasper graduates from the bassinet to the crib. So sad because it is the cutest part of the bedding :( D, wish your little man a happy b'day for me too!

You basically have to decide where it is most strategic to tie the bumper to the crib, knowing the corners are not an option. Honestly though the bumper is mostly cosmetic. It's functional when they can roll (although some people take them out then because of safety concerns) and it's a nightmare when they can stand (nightmare or step stool to hoist yourself out depending on how adventurous you're kid ends up being). Anyway, we all feel your pain. Bumpers and cribs were not made by the same person for sure! Also wanted to wish Jeff a very happy birthday! d. Many cribs have this problem.

There was no way to tie it in, even though the picture online showed a bumper in it. But also, all of the infant care classes we took at the hospital said the new SIDS awareness guidlines say that not using a bumper reduces the risk of SIDS, so we are going bumper free even though Zoe is sleeping in the crib. They are swaddled when they are so little and then can't even move, so I don't worry that she'll poke an arm through or anything! My crib also was not compatable with a bumper.

We don't have the crib mattress yet, so I couldn't put on the sheet which has the same pattern as the inside of the bumper.. so for the sake of it looking nice for now I just reversed it. But it doesn't effect the tying in because there are ties on the bottom and the top :) Yeah, actually it’s upside down AND inside out!
