DaVinci Jenny Lind 3-in-1 Convertible Baby Crib, White

Why it's worth it

The Jenny Lind is a classic spindle crib in New Zealand pine with four mattress heights and lockable wheels. It converts to a toddler bed and daybed, and DaVinci lists the finish as GREENGUARD Gold certified and phthalate-safe.

The rounded spindles are the whole point. This shape has been in nurseries for generations, and it still reads as charming rather than trendy, which matters if you're keeping the crib for a second kid. At 37 pounds it's the lightest crib here by a good margin. That makes it easy to shove into a corner during a paint job and easy to carry upstairs on your own.

The wheels sound like a gimmick until you own a crib. Lockable casters mean you can roll the whole thing away from the wall to vacuum the dust bunnies and the pacifiers that live back there. You'll do that more than you expect. Most cribs in this bracket make you lift a 40-pound frame instead, usually while holding a baby with your other arm.
