How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely essential piece of furniture for the nursery of your baby. However, choosing a suitable crib can be a daunting task, especially with so many various styles and security concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling parts. We recommend a crib that has a broad choice of mattress heights and a sleek design that is in line with your style.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is crucial to not place any items in the crib of your child that could potentially cause harm or injury including blankets, pillows and sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Your baby should also not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches. They could fall between your Baby Cot's crib bars or become stuck in them. They could also be taken in by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made from materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also adhere to strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. Additionally, they're third-party tested for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certs!). They're also designed to last and convertible, so they can grow along with your child.

It is essential to select a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and frequent use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The crib's slats should not be more than 3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware must be secure. It's an excellent idea to examine the mattress support rims and slats for any broken or loose components.

It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, as their safety could be at risk. Finally, don't purchase or accept a secondhand crib that has the drop side rail which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for security reasons.

Style

There are many design differences between cribs, even though they all must be safe to use standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as whether the slats are all the same length or placed closer apart, while others have an impact on the ease of the crib to maintain and use. Certain features, like finials and drop sides are not safe and should not be used. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib is meant solely for sleep for infants, so it's not an ideal place to store toys or clothes. You can also include a crib on your registry to get assistance from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes however, the ones we prefer combine style and functionality. For example the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimal and looks sharp. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is a must for any product that is non-toxic. It can be turned into a toddler and daybed by converting it with a separate kit.

Some cribs feature a more traditional look, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a chic option that can fit in large nursery. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller minimalist options. Additionally, it has only three mattress height levels, which is less than half the alternatives and it's not as durable as our other picks.

It can also be raised to a higher height to ease colic and reflux, making it suitable for babies from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an extra mattress that can be used as a substitute. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than other top options, and it requires a separate conversion kit for toddler cot beds for sale.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that the mattress on your baby's crib is the right height. This will ensure that your child doesn't fall out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A higher mattress can also safeguard your child from heat exhaustion or suffocation.

A good crib will have adjustable slats or railings to allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your infant grows. A majority of cribs include a conversion kit that allows you can convert the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. Finally, it's best to choose a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organisation for safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is not contaminated of any chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the most highly-rated cribs available, and it's easy to assemble, with a straightforward design that doesn't include any jarring pieces or parts.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which features a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It's a little more expensive than other cribs but its quality and features are worth it. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or toddler bed. It also has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It has a canopy which can be used to create a space that resembles a womb for your baby. This adds a stylish design to any nursery.

The only drawback to this crib is that it doesn't come with an additional mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. But it's a safe and comfortable crib that can be adapted to your child's needs from infant to toddler.

There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.

The safest cribs have no chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grab things, and if something is hanging over or above their crib it could tug on the rails or become an entanglement hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or decorative items, they must ensure that the items are secured tightly and aren't within reach of Baby.

In addition to the security features of our best cribs for babies, we consider how simple it is to assemble. The crib should be simple enough to assemble by yourself, without the need for special tools or a large amount of time. Most parents report that assembling a modern crib takes less than a half hour, and the included instructions are usually clear and easy to follow.
