How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an crucial piece for the nursery of your baby. However, choosing a suitable one can feel overwhelming especially when you consider the many different designs and security concerns.

Find a crib that adheres to the highest safety standards and has no dangling or chewable components. We also recommend a sleek crib with a variety of mattress heights and modern, sleek design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when placing and assembling your baby's crib. Avoid placing any items 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 larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to be placed in the crib of your Baby beds. These items could easily fall into or get trapped between your baby and the crib bars or they could 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 comply with strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to be tough and reversible, which means they'll continue to grow with your child.

It's important that you choose a crib that meets current safety standards, whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Secondhand cribs can lose their structural integrity due to humidity, age and frequent use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The crib's slats should be no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep babies from getting trapped between them and the hardware that is on the crib must be secured. It's also a good idea to inspect the mattress support rims and slats for broken or loose components.

It's also recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by other children and/or pets, as their safety may have been compromised. Do not purchase or purchase the crib that has a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

Although all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, there are numerous design variations. Some are simply aesthetic, such as if the slats are of identical in length or are spaced closer apart and others have an impact on the ease of the crib to maintain and use. Certain features such as finials and drop sides are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, are sought-after by many parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be a place for babies to sleep. You can also include a crib on your registry to seek help from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the ones we like best combine style and functionality. For example, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified and we believe that is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be transformed to a daybed or toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Other cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stately choice that can be incorporated into large nurseries, but it occupies more floor space than the smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some might find distracting. It has only three mattress levels, which is half the number offered by competitors. It's not as sturdy as our other picks.

Another option with a modern aesthetic is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and make it easier to observe baby which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be raised to a higher level to help reduce colic and reflux, making it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It's also GREENGUARD certified GOLD and comes with a mattress that is also a match. It's important to remember that this bed is more expensive than the other top rated cots choices, and it requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's vital that the mattress is at the correct level. This will prevent your child from climbing out of the crib, which can be dangerous or fatal. A mattress that is higher will also protect your child from overheating or suffocation.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise or lower it as your child grows. Most good cribs (Angrybirds wrote) will also include a conversion kit that allows you can turn the crib into the toddler bed or daybed after your baby outgrows it. It's recommended to select the crib that is tested and certified by a third-party organisation. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee that your baby's crib is free of chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib is one of the top-rated cribs on the market, and it's simple to put together, with a straightforward design that doesn't have any confusing parts or pieces. The sides of the crib are smaller than many other models however, one user stated that her baby did well sleeping in it, and was in good condition when she passed it on to a friend following the birth of her second child.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic option. It has an oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It is a little more expensive than other cribs, however its durability and features make up for it. It can, for instance, be converted into a bassinet or toddler bed and comes with wheels that make it easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a child-like space for your baby and adds a stylish touch to any nursery.

This crib is not equipped with a mattress. You'll have to buy one separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that will expand with your child as they transition from infant to toddler.

No dangling or chewable parts

The safest cribs are those that have no dangling or chewable components. If something is hung above or below their crib, this could cause the rails to pull or create a strangulation risk. Babies can be very grabbing. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should make sure the items are securely secured and not in reach of Baby.

In addition to the security features of our top cribs for babies, we consider how simple it is to assemble. The ideal crib will be simple enough to build it yourself and doesn't require specialized tools or extensive assembly time. Most parents report that assembling a modern crib takes less than an hour, and the included instructions are usually simple and easy to follow.

A crib is an important purchase for many new parents, so it's important to find one that will last for a long time to come. For long-lasting use, choose an adjustable crib that will work from infancy until the toddler bed, and then a full-size bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet in the early years and later transformed into an infant bed, a daybed or a full-size bed. It's designed to last and is available in many colors so you can match it to your nursery's design theme.

Another option that is a great crib choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This gorgeous, minimal-style crib has a low profile that allows petite parents to reach their child and calm them. It is well-known for quality, and comes in cherry, white and espresso colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it is made of sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also exceeds the government safety standards, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that is not included is the toddler rail. It is available separately. This is a great choice for those looking for an affordable, high-quality crib that will last.
