A crib is among the most essential items for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with so many designs and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your cheap baby cots's crib, be sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm to your baby's nursery cots. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys and blankets. Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. They could fall between your baby's crib bars or be stuck in them. They may also be taken up by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They are also designed to last and reversible, which means they'll grow with your child.

It's crucial to choose a crib that meets current safety standards, no matter if you're buying a brand new or used crib. Used cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to age, humidity and frequent use, posing serious risks to your infant.

The slats of your crib should be no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent infants from getting wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib must be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims, and hardware for any broken or loose components.

It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, since their safety could be at risk. Don't buy or accept a crib with a drop-side rail. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

While all cribs have to adhere to strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some are just aesthetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced further apart, while others could make it difficult to use and clean the crib. Some features, like finials and drop sides, aren't safe and should be avoided as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters desirable for many parents.

One thing to keep in mind is that the crib should be used only for infant sleep and is not an ideal place to store toys or clothing. It's also recommended to put the crib on your registry so that friends and family can pitch in to help you get one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in a variety of different styles However, we prefer ones that blend style with functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks great. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified, which we think is essential for any product that is free of toxics. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Some cribs feature an older-style look like the DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots-in-1. It's a chic option that can be incorporated into larger nursery.

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise or lower it as your baby grows.

No dangling or chewable parts

The safest cribs are those that have no dangling or chewable components. Babies like to grab things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging over or above their crib, it could snag on the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decide to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they need to make sure that the items are securely attached and out of baby's reach.
