Pali Baby Cribs - When Your Baby Deserves The Best!

Firstly, if you are still shopping around for a baby crib, then you should read up a little of this crib-making company. Pali is an Italian brand name and has been crafting children's furniture for over four generations. With this experience, that is why Pali has become a much sought after brand name by parents looking for a baby crib.

If you buy a Pali crib, you can be sure it meets the required safety standards with the company being a member of the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). Pali uses non-toxic lead free paints as well as water-based glues and paints for all its cribs. The warranty period for all its cribs is one full year.

The downside to a Pali crib is its price which is more expensive than many other brands in the market and not all parents are willing to spend so much on a crib. The cheapest Pali crib would probably cost you over $300. But what you pay you will get back in terms of quality and durability. And if you are going to have more than one kid, a Pali crib would be a safe bet to give you years of use.

A snapshot of the Pali Sole series to start you off:

Different crib manufacturers have use different terms to describe their crib models. For Pali, the company has divided its cribs into three groups.

The Standard crib models have a dropside and a stationary side with the same height. Standard cribs can also be converted into toddler beds.

Forever cribs can be converted into double beds with a headboard and footboard but a universal rail kit required for the conversion. Forever crib models include Rosalia, Carmen, Angelina and Caterina.

Lastly, Pali also has Transfo cribs. Transfo is short for transformable and these cribs have a dropside but a parallel back piece that is higher and bigger. With a Transfo crib, you can convert into a toddler bed and a double headboard. But to use the double headboard, you will need to get an adjustable metal frame and a box spring. Pali's Transfo crib models include Lily, Juliana and Jennifer.

This is another one of Pali's Standard crib models. With a dropside and two mattress positions, the crib is convertible to a toddler bed with a streight rail.

The Pali Renee crib is constructed of solid beech wood and available in five finishes - natural, cherry, cognac, hazelnut and matte white. A classic-looking crib with a sleigh design, this crib would definitely last you a few kids.

This model matches Pali's furniture for the 4000 series. You can have a nightstand, toy chest, dresser, armoire and hutch to complement your room decor.

If you look at Pali Carosello's series, it actually uses the April crib model to make up the whole nursery decor. That is why the Carosello crib is also available separately as the April crib. They are part of Pali's Standard crib models.

The Carasello crib is available in the color combination of yellow, blue, green and cream as seen in the picture here while the April crib comes in cherry, matte white and distressed amber. This crib has one dropside and two mattress positions. It also has wheels with slated head and footboard completing the look.

You can purchase a toddler rail for the April crib separately which should extend the crib usage by a further two years. Although the same toddler rail would fit the Carosello model, you may find the shade does not match due to its unique color combination. Price-wise, the Carosello crib is also much more expensive than the April model.

If you are looking for something soft, cuddly and fun, then the Carosello crib and matching furniture will serve your purpose.

This crib is constructed from solid beech wood. It is convertible to a full bed with the Pali universal rail which needs to be purchased separately. It is available in five colors, namely cherry, cognac, hazelnut, matte white and natural.

Solid and sturdy, this furniture will last through your child's teenage years. The Carmen model matches Pali's other furniture under the 7000 series. A slight curve at the the top of the two ends and heavy-looking, this crib would be suitable for a more traditional-looking nursery.

This crib has a sienna finish in classic Italian style. While many of Pali's cribs are made in Italy, the Arezzo model is constructed of rubber wood and built in Thailand.

You can purchase the toddler rail to transform this crib into a simple toddler bed and then a universal rail to convert it into a full-sized bed.

The Pali's Arezzo series comes complete with dresser, armoire, hutch and nightstand. If big and bold are what you are after, the Pali Arezzo crib may be the one you are looking for.

This is one of Pali's Transfo crib models. This crib has one dropside and two mattress positions. This means it can be changed into a toddler bed with a streight rail and convert into a full-sized headboard but not a complete bed. To do that, you will need to buy a box spring and an adjustable metal frame.

This crib is made in Italy and is available in seven finishes, that is cherry, cinnamon, cognac, hazelnut, natural, white and distressed white. Constructed of solid beech wood, this crib has gentle curves on its sides giving a sleigh style. The availability in various finishes also means it shouldn't be too hard to fit it into any nursery decor.

Expensive a Pali crib is. When you can get another crib for slightly over $100, why would you want to pay triple the price or more for the same type of furniture?

Well, one of the main considerations in the price of the crib is the type of materials used in its construction. If you want to compare two cribs, then it makes sense to check out the type of wood used to construct the crib.

Then, there is the question of sturdiness. As your baby grows into a toddler, be prepared for him to jump and bounce on the crib or toddler bed. Some babies also like to shake and rattle a crib's dropside. This is why it is important to consider the longer term aspect of crib/bed usage rather than just buy based on price, especially of you are going to use it for more than one child.

So, whether a Pali crib is worth buying will depend on your preference for quality standards and how long you would want to keep the crib for. If you want a sturdy and durable crib, then it is a brand name you should consider. But if you are just looking for something that can last you 18 months or so before transfering your child to a brand new toddler bed, then perhaps a Pali crib is a little too expensive.

In other words, think of what you are planning to do with the crib after your baby has outgrown it, and you will have a better idea if it is worth it to spend so much on a crib such as Pali.

Pali cribs also include many other models apart from the above. Browse through a premier online baby cribs retailer for more:
