All over the web you can find forums where people have asked the question... How does DaVinci baby furniture differ from Million Dollar Baby? You'll get crazy answers like Million Dollar Baby (MDB) created a second name, DaVinci, so they could sell the same furniture at two different prices, marking Million Dollar Baby cribs as higher end and DaVinci cribs as lower end. That's just not true.
In fact, all of the furniture is made under the umbrella of the Million Dollar Baby Company, but is offered in three different brands including: DaVinci, Babyletto and Million Dollar Baby. The company, MDB, considers all three brands as siblings, being similar in safety, style and quality, but still offering their own individuality.
In reality, DaVinci is just one of a few brand names for baby furniture lines made by the company MDB. So, Million Dollar Baby is the company name and DaVinci is a brand name. This tends to confuse some people when they see the same crib name such as: Annabelle Crib listed as a Million Dollar Baby crib by one retailer and listed as a DaVinci crib by another retailer. The explanation for this is simple. All DaVinci brand cribs are made by the MDB Company, but are not part of the Million Dollar Baby brand...hope that makes sense! Just like all Babyletto brand cribs are made by the company, MDB, but are not part of their Million Dollar Baby brand. Where as, Million Dollar Baby brand cribs are also made by the MDB Company...get it? So, if a retailer lists a crib as a MDB crib that you've seen listed elsewhere under the DaVinci brand, don't get confused or worried that there's some type of conspiracy. It simply means that the first retailer was stating that the crib is made by the company, MDB and they forgot to mention that it's part of the DaVinci brand, where as the second retailer listed it as a DaVinci brand crib. Both were telling the truth, written in different ways.
Let me address the rumor about the Million Dollar Baby vs. DaVinci conspiracy theory that they're selling the same furniture, under two names, at different prices. First of all, it's totally false. Second, retailers can sell cribs by the DaVinci brand at whatever price they want depending on the margin of profit they wish to make. So if you see the same DaVinci crib being sold at two different retailers for two different prices, it has nothing to do with the Million Dollar Baby Company and everything to do with the retailer's desired profit margins. Also, if you see it listed as a crib by Million Dollar Baby on one site and listed as a DaVinci crib on another, that also has everything to do with how the retailer has titled the crib and has nothing to do with the company, Million Dollar Baby. So as you can see, there's absolutely no conspiracy at all. It's all just good old American Free Market Trade.
If you're one of those people who have been scouring the web for DaVinci cribs, but you've gotten confused by the use of the Million Dollar Baby name in place of DaVinci, don't feel bad, you're not alone. Luckily, now you know the truth and you should have no problem finding that DaVinci nursery set that you want.
