Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport cot sets Bed is a minimalist crib that will look stunning in a Scandi-design nursery. It's also extremely flexible, as it has three different mattress support heights. Additionally, it can be converted into an infant's bed.

Cribs take up a lot of room, so bassinets might be a better choice for homes with small spaces. However, many parents prefer a crib due to safety reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it meets the current safety standards and is free from hazards that may cause harm to your baby as they sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, with no loose pieces that may catch on clothing or pose danger of choking. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and use and check the crib regularly for signs of wear or damage.

The first thing to look at is the space between the slats. It shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to prevent your baby from falling over or getting their limbs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child in the crib. If you can't reach your baby, the slats may be too close together and need to be a bit wider.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the possibility of your baby climbing out of the crib, which is a common event as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a solid and stable structure are additional safety features you should be looking for. Choose a crib with fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides could be dangerous for your child. You should also share the same room as your Baby beds until they are old enough to sleep alone.

Last but not least, ensure that the crib is placed away from windows and radiators, and that any hanging objects such as blind cords or curtains are not in reach. Also, you should remove any items that could pose a choking risk such as pillows or blankets. Be wary of purchasing cribs that are secondhand, because they may not have met current safety standards or have been recalled for other reasons.

Design

While cribs might appear identical, it is important to keep in mind that all must meet strict safety regulations. Most of the cribs that we looked at were designed in a similar way to ensure structural solidity. Most cribs feature circular bars with no gaps or rough surfaces that could catch babies or pinch them. We also tested each crib and rated it for its ease of use and assembly. More components can cause confusion, so we recommend selecting a crib with clear instructions that are easy to follow to avoid frustration.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which is designed with an elegant, modern design and comes in a variety of color options, including some two-toned. It also comes with an all-purpose mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having the lowest amount of volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Mattress

A crib mattress that can be cleaned will be useful for infants. Spitting up from diapers, baby spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and filthy that can cause mildew and other bacteria that can affect infants. Select a mattress that can be easily cleaned using an mild cleaner or cloth. Also, select a waterproof cover to stop fluids from leaking into the mattress.

Look for a mattress rated for up to 10 years so that it is suitable for toddlers. A lot of the mattresses in this review are reversible and have toddler and infant cot bed sides which allows you to use them right from birth until your child is ready to move on to a full-size bed.

A mattress that is firm for the crib is ideal, as it will support their spines as they are developing. A super-firm sleeping surface will also lower the chance of SIDS. This is because a soft mattress increases the chance that a baby's head will sink into it.

If you are looking for a mattress for your crib that is firm be sure to examine the label to make sure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat for infants. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that may affect babies' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another factor to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. The regular changes to sheets at night require you to lift and move the mattress, so if you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want to carry a heavy item you should consider a crib mattress that is lighter. For example, the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 lbs, making it the largest in this review. It is also made of foam rather than inner woven-core, making it easier to maneuver when compared to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more.

Assembly

New parents will appreciate a crib that is easy to assemble. You should look for the crib that has hardware that is securely secured, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby. Beware of cribs with drop-sides, or cutouts for headboards cots and tots footboards These features aren't compatible with the current safety standards.

If you decide to purchase a convertible crib, you'll have to purchase an additional kit to convert it into an adult bed. These kits are sold separately by a majority of manufacturers. These kits are typically affordable and can assist your child to make the transition to a larger bed more smoothly.
