What's the difference between this crib and the lightweight one? Other than the more expensive one has no mattress and cheaper one comes w/ thin canr

Telly, I agree, The one we bought only has two positions all the way up for newborns and all the way down for toddlers. We had a terrible time putting this thing up as the instructions confusing. However we like the crib very much and have gotten good use for it. P/S We fold it up and slide it under our bed till we need it.

I love this crib, I'm the grama so don't use it on a daily basis but it suits my needs just fine. The thin mattress is ok cuz they say not to use one that is more than 3" and I can't find one of those.

The more expensive one has two positions--one up high for a newborn and then can be lowered when the child is older and pulling him/herself up on the railing. Although the picture for the lightweight shows two positions, I don't think they are the same. Also, the mattress pad is too thin--you really need to purchase the 3" pad. Hope this helps. We have been very happy with this purchase for our grandchild.

I am short so I like that this crib is shorter so I don't have to lean over as far. The mattress can also be lowered 3 different levels as baby grows . Remember that crib mattresses are a standard size so I don't understand why people are saying the crib is small. It's lower profile for sure in its simplicity but the sleeping space is the same as any other crib.

I went with the thicker mattress for my TT. The down side of that is it makes getting into bed a little difficult due to the increased highth from the floor. TTs have a storage area under the bed. Great sleep!

I bought the Invacare bed, and it came with a mattress. Cheaper all-around and was a fine bed.

I had both with my first child, and decided to get rid of the cosleeper the second time around. I liked the look better, but it was MUCH LESS useful. My first child used the pack n play until he was 2 years old when he moved onto a floor futon. This time around I'm also going to use the Phil and Teds travel bed. It only weighs 6 lbs (vs. 30) and it has a zipper on one side so the child can get in out of bed unassisted.

The crib does come with a mattress however I never saw anything that said it did so I ordered a mattress as well and had to return it afterwards.

You have to buy them separately. Some are cheaper than others, depending on the thickness that you want. The guard rails on the top are not very high so a thinner mattress is best.

It's narrower on top. Easier set up and fold down. Mattress is better than most pnp. I had to get this as my one year old exceeds other weight limits.

Don't know difference, but I love the one I got. I have used it as my son's crib for months.

the mattess comes with it. Its pretty cparable to a pack and play mattress! It is not a crib mattress. We absolutely loved ours!! Used with last two babies and wished I would have gotten it when I had my first!!

No. I think most cribs come without a mattress, actually. And luckily, crib mattresses aren't very expensive.

I have used both, closed cell foam sleeping pads. Thicker than the lightweight, backpacker versions. Also used thinner air mattresses....I prefer the additional foam pad over the thin air mattress...Refer to the COT you buy specs for interior size in inches. Buy or cut a pad to fit....I cut one...

I'd go with this mattress: CRESCENT MINI CRIB 50 COIL MATTRESS.It's the one DaVinci recommended when we purchased our mini crib. there's a 1" gap difference on one end but isn't noticeable. All other measurements are REALLY snug. Special note: Finding sheets was a nightmare cause most mini/portable crib sheets are 1/2" too short (in diameter). I just got a twin size flat sheet and fold it tightly around the mattress on all sides. Works really well.

It is low, but not a problem. The mattress is a decent size. We like it. Its quite sturdy as well. Changing diapers while inside the crib can be a back strainer though.. so if you have a changing pad/station, then this shouldn't be an issue.

Regular twin mattress. I used a bunk mattress & regret it. It's too hard & my child doesn't like to sleep on it.

No, I really don't know of any full size crib that comes with a mattress unless it's a special offer. In that case the offer would clearly state that and usually give touva choice between a couple of them with a small price difference. I have not seen the Davinci Parker ever offer the crib along with a mattress in any site.

it comes with a slim mattress that for my purposes works fine, I think it would be a regular crib matress, not a mini. As a daycare provider I love how it folds flat to store, I can "wheel it out flat or open, and yet it is sturdy!
