Cribs and Mini Cribs
The majority of DaVinci full-size cribs are constructed using 100% solid New Zealand pine wood, with the exception of cribs with thick paneling or cribs with under drawers. Our cribs with drawers use CARB II or TSCA compliant MDF in the drawer’s bottom board.
Our mini cribs are made of New Zealand pine wood and CARB II compliant MDF. MDF is used for the mattress support board.
New Zealand pine wood is one of the most sustainable and renewable wood resources, and its forests are expanding, increasing total wood production annually.
For any product that contains MDF, we follow the CARB (California Air Resource Board) regulations or TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) regulations, which regulate and control formaldehyde emissions in MDF. All MDF found in our products is from CARB certified or TSCA certified manufacturers and is indeed safe.

Finishes and Paint
Our paint is ultra-safe and all our products are lead, phthalate, and formaldehyde safe.
Paint is considered safe when it has toxic materials under 300 parts per million (ppm). In order for a company to claim low toxicity, it must have no more than 90 ppm. DaVinci Baby products come in at less than 10ppm. We perform annual paint tests to maintain consistent quality.
A selection of our cribs are GREENGUARD Gold certified and we test all our cribs towards the latest CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards on a yearly basis. In addition to lead and phthalates, the labs also test for other heavy metals such as cadmium, antimony, chromium, mercury, and arsenic.
Additionally while there currently no regulations for VOCs, in baby’s best interest we also test for VOC contents and the results are significantly low.
Mattress Pads and Covers
The waterproof cover on our mattress pads is made of a vinyl surface with double polyester backing. An ultra-fresh additive is formulated into the vinyl to create an anti-bacterial surface. All other mattress covers use nylon.
