Which crib is better for a newborn?

The DaVinci Kalani. Its four mattress heights let you keep the mattress high for a newborn and lower it as your baby sits and stands. The North Bay listing does not state how many height positions it has.

Is the DaVinci Kalani worth the extra money?

If you want four mattress heights and GREENGUARD Gold certification, yes. At $217.99 at WoodArtSupply as of November 5, 2026 it costs about $146 more than the North Bay at $71.60 at Mike's Furniture Store.

Do either of these include a mattress?

No. Both cribs are sold without a mattress, and both need a standard crib mattress. DaVinci recommends its own GREENGUARD Gold-certified mattresses for the Kalani.

Which one lasts longer?

Both convert to a toddler bed, day bed and full-size bed, so both can last years. The Kalani has been sold since 2008, which makes its conversion kits easier to find later.

What does GREENGUARD Gold mean versus GREENGUARD?

Gold is the stricter tier. It tests for more than 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs, which the Kalani meets. The North Bay is listed as GREENGUARD Certified, a lower tier.

How much space does the Kalani take?

It measures 54.5 inches long, 37 inches wide and 42 inches high and weighs 60 lbs. The North Bay's dimensions are not stated in its listing.
