The portable/folding crib market has been rife with safety problems in recent years, with major players like Evenflo and Delta recalling their models for safety reasons. Yet small player Dream on Me has dodged those issues and has a winner with their 2 in 1 Portable mini crib. Sold online for $159.99 , this crib is a good bet for Grandma’s house—it converts from a crib to a playpen and changing table.
Dream on Me also makes full-size cribs for $100 to $270. One of Dream on Me’s best-selling full-size cribs with the Violet ($129), with its swoopy side rails and six finishes (including a bright blue). See picture below right.
Overall, quality is good. However, a few critics note vague assembly directions that make first-time assembly difficult, say some parents.
In recent years, Dream on Me has launched a new upper-end nursery furniture brand, Evolur (reviewed separately here).
