Cocalo Crib Bedding Sets - Little Ducky Baby Crib Bedding
CoCaLo is a relative newcomer to the crib bedding sets industry, founded in 1998. CoCaLo manufacturers crib bedding sets under the Kimberly Grant, CoCaLo, Baby Martex, and OshKosh Baby labels. Released in late-2005 under the CoCaLo label, the Little Ducky baby crib bedding is one of the many crib bedding sets available in the Duck theme, which is one of the more unconventional nursery themes available and is wonderful for a boy or a girl. Generally retailing for between $185 and $220, the 4-piece crib bedding set seems reasonably priced given the quality of fabrics and workmanship.
Little Ducky baby crib bedding comes as a 4-piece crib bedding set with a quilt, bumper, crib skirt, and fitted sheet. The collection is made from a 65/35 poly/cotton blend. As with most baby crib bedding collections, a number of nursery room accessories are available, that match the Little Ducky crib set. Notably missing, however, is a hamper, which most baby crib bedding manufacturers have available.
The quilt, which is the highlight of the collection, is divided into three sections with a yellow striped fabric and rick-rack border. The fabrics used in Little Ducky baby crib bedding are a mixture of high quality woven fabrics (a blue stripe/gingham fabric, and an interesting green and white striped seersucker), fabrics with printed (where the design is printed onto a solid colored fabric) patterns (the yellow and white striped fabric), and textured (sherpa and rick-rack) fabrics. The back of the quilt is made from a soft white sherpa. The duck mascots in Little Ducky baby crib bedding are very nicely embroidered with sherpa.
Little Ducky baby crib bedding has 10" tall bumper with ties on both the top and bottom. Both the inward and outward facing parts of the bumper are decorated with the three main background fabrics from the quilt. The two longer sides feature more embroidery as well. A slight drawback of the bumper is the fact that it comes as one continuous piece, as opposed to being broken up into two, three, or even four pieces. The crib skirt of Little Ducky baby crib bedding has a 12" drop to complete the look of the set. I was pleased to see that the fitted sheet is made from a woven blue stripe fabric.
Unfortunately for Canadian consumers purchasing crib bedding sets from United States online retailers, the Little Ducky baby crib bedding is manufactured in China. Customers in Canada would be required to pay import duties 18% of the stated prices.
If the Duck theme appeals to you, you might also want to look at crib bedding sets from Duck Duck baby crib bedding by Glenna Jean or Ducky Love baby crib bedding by Kidsline.
