How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is a very crucial piece for the nursery of your baby. It isn't easy to select the best crib, given so many designs and safety concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a sleek crib with a range of mattress heights and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib, make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm in your baby's nursery. This includes pillows, blankets and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items can easily fall into or be stuck between your baby and the crib bars, or be swallowed by the mattress.

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

It's important that you choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Used cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to humidity, age and heavy use, posing serious dangers to your baby.

The crib's slats should not be longer than 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters), and the hardware must be secured. Examine the slats, mattress support rims, and hardware for any broken or loose components.

It's best cot beds to avoid cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, as their safety may be at risk. Do not purchase or purchase a crib with drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

There are many variations in the design of cribs, despite the fact that they all must be safe to use standards. Some are simply aesthetic, such as whether the slats are of identical in length or are spaced closer together or not, while others have an impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

One thing to be aware of is that the crib should be used exclusively for sleeping infants, so it's not an area to store clothes or toys. You can also put a crib on your registry to seek help from friends and family in the event that you require one.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes However, the ones we love best crib are those that combine style and function. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks stunning. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs feature more traditional designs, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stately choice that can be incorporated into large nurseries, but it takes up more space than smaller, minimalist alternatives and comes with exposed hardware that some find distracting. Furthermore, it only has three mattress height levels, which is less than half of the other options and isn't as sturdy as some of our other picks.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a modern design. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and allow you to see your baby which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for many new parents. It can also be elevated to a higher height to alleviate reflux and colic and colic, making it suitable for babies from birth to 6 months. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a mattress. It's important to note, however it's more expensive than our other top choices and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

When your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's important that the mattress is the right height. This will ensure that your child can't climb out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can also help protect your baby from overheating or suffocating.

A quality crib should include slats that can be adjusted or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. The majority of cribs come with a conversion kit, so you can transform the crib into a toddler bed or daybed when your child is no longer using it. In the end, it's recommended to select a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organization to ensure safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to make sure there aren't any chemicals or finishes in the crib where your baby sleeps.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great option. It features an oval shape that gives it a modern look. It's a little more expensive than other cribs but its quality and features are worth it. It can easily be converted into a toddler bed or bassinet and comes with wheels to make it simple to move around.

The crib doesn't come with mattress. You'll need to buy one separately. However, it's a secure and comfortable crib that will be adapted to your child's needs from infant to toddler.

There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.

The most secure cribs do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grab things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging from their crib or above them, it could tug off the rails or become an entanglement hazard. If a parent decides to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they must ensure that the items are securely attached and are not within Baby's reach.
