Let’s take a look at some of these factors in greater details.
Manufactured
Graco cribs are manufactured in the US (Philadelphia to be exact). Graco uses high quality pine wood to manufacture their cribs and a non-toxic paint job is done afterwards.
On the other hand, Davinci cribs are manufactured in China and Taiwan where the cribs are made from New Zealand sourced pine wood and they too do a non-toxic paint job when manufacturing.
Safety
Both of the cribs are safe for your little one and they meet all the required standards.
All Graco cribs meet American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) safety standards, where they have been tested to make sure it’s safe for use. They don’t have any sharp edges or moving parts to avoid accidents and they are made of non-toxic materials. Graco cribs also include teething rails to avoid the baby from chewing into the paint and wood of the crib.
All Davinci cribs also surpass the ASTM and CPSC safety standards where they have gone through thorough testing to ensure the safety standards are met. Just like Graco, these cribs do not consist of any toxic materials or paint and include teething rails to prevent damage to the crib and for the baby’s safety.
Comfort
Graco cribs come with height adjustable mattresses which help to keep the baby in a safe and comfortable state and also teething rails to stop the baby from chewing into the wood of the crib. They also feature a one hand drop side for convenience to the parents.
And just like Graco, Davinci cribs also come with a comfortable mattress, teething rails and one hand drop side. Plus their designs bring a cradle-like feel. And their superior quality wood gives a soft feeling compared with the other wooden furniture.
Stylish
Both of these cribs offer different styled cribs which sometimes look alike for some models. However, In my opinion Graco cribs look a bit more stylish than Davinci cribs.

Graco cribs have different designs and come in different patterns and paint colors and their quality does not change. Davinci cribs also come with its traditional designs and its patterns with different colors.
Both of these have models which come with additional drawers that give a more aesthetic look to the crib as well.
Prices
When it comes to prices, Graco cribs are a lot cheaper than Davinci cribs. Graco cribs cost around $100 – $350 depending on the model, while davinci cribs cost anywhere between $200 – $500.
Davinci cribs are more expensive because they use better materials for manufacturing which makes them more durable which we will talk about next.
Durability
Davinci cribs are more sturdy and durable than Graco cribs and they will last for many years. The main reason they are more durable is because Davinci cribs use more quality materials to manufacture their cribs.
However, this does not mean Graco cribs are not durable. They are also durable and can last many years but just not as long as Davinci cribs which focus more on its durability.
Because Graco does not use as expensive materials as Davinci, they are able to offer cribs at a lesser price.
Mattress
Davinci mattresses are better than Graco mattresses.
Davinci mattresses are made with 5 inch layers of high density non-toxic fiber for firm surface and include features such as a waterproof cover, removable cover, hypoallergenic for allowing the baby to sleep comfortably and safely. The mattress is also super light weight (8 lbs) making it easier for the parents to change the sheets.
Graco mattress is made from 5 inch layers of thick quality breathable foam which will self-expand once the seal is removed. It offers height adjustable mattresses with metal spring support where the height is adjustable by three levels. This feature will help to keep the baby comfortable as they grow.
Versatility
Both Graco and Davinci cribs come with the feature where it can be either used as a normal crib, day bed or even as a toddler’s bed where the mattress can be adjusted accordingly. This feature will save parents money and a lot of trouble.
Conclusion
Overall, Graco and Davinci are both good brands to choose cribs from in this article we broke down different aspects of these both cribs however the crib you will need will depend on which factors your considering.
In my honest opinion, I think Graco offers the better cribs as they have most of the same features Davinci cribs have plus they are cheaper. However they are not as durable as Davinci cribs and if you are looking for a longer lasting crib then Davinci cribs are the best choice.
