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 numerous styles and safety concerns.

Look for a crib that has the highest safety standards, with no chewable or dangling components. We also suggest a chic crib with a variety of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in the crib of your child which could cause harm or Baby Cot injury, including pillows, blankets as well as sheepskins, stuffed toys, and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information). Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches should not be allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. They could get caught between the crib bars or get trapped in them. They may also get taken in by the mattress.

The best infant cribs are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also meet strict federal laws, state and local regulations for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They are also designed to last and convertible, so they'll grow with your child.

No matter if you're buying new or used, it's crucial to select a crib that meets the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to age, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose grave dangers to your child.

The crib's slats should be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib must be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims and hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It is also advisable to stay clear of cribs that were used by other children or pets, as their safety may have been compromised. Do not purchase or purchase a crib with drop-side rails. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some of the differences are cosmetic, like whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further apart, while others can impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Some features, like drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's designed to be a place where babies can sleep. You can also put a crib on your registry to get assistance from family and friends in the event you need help.

Cribs come in a variety of sizes and shapes however, the ones we prefer are those that combine style and function. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimal and looks sharp. It is also GREENGUARD gold-certified, which we think is a must for any product that is non-toxic. It can be transformed into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs are more traditional, like the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stately choice that can be incorporated into large nursery spaces, however it occupies more floor space than the smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some may find distracting. Furthermore, it only has three levels of mattress height, which is less than half the other options, and it's not as durable as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern aesthetic. The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware help to improve the flow of air, and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that new parents find important. It can be raised higher to ease colic and reflux. This is suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's important to note, however, that it's more expensive than our other top selections and requires a toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

When your baby is sleeping in their crib, it is important that the mattress is at the correct level. This will prevent your child from climbing out of the crib, which could be risky or even fatal. A higher mattress also helps keep your child from suffocating or overheating.

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise the mattress or lower it as your child grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit so you can turn the crib into a toddler bed or daybed after your baby outgrows it. It's an excellent idea to pick a crib that has been certified and tested by a third-party organization. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to make sure there are no harmful chemicals or finishes in the crib where your baby sleeps.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the best-rated cribs on the market, and it's simple to put together and has a simple layout that doesn't contain any confusing parts or pieces. The crib's sides are shorter than other models. However, one tester reported that her child slept well and the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a relative for her second cheap baby cots for sale.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which has a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It is a little more expensive than other cribs, but its durability and features are worth it. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or toddler bed and has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create a space more like a womb for your baby. This adds a stylish accent 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. It's a safe, comfortable crib that will adapt to your child's needs as they go from newborn to toddler.

No dangling or chewable parts

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grab things, and if something is hanging over or above their crib, it could tug off the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or decorative items, they must make sure the items are secured tightly and not in reach of Baby.

In addition to the safety features of our best cots cribs for babies, good cribs we consider how simple it is to set up. Ideally, the crib should be simple enough to build it yourself and doesn't require specialized tools or long assembly time. The majority of parents say that the assembly of a modern crib takes less than a half hour, and the included instructions are usually simple and easy to follow.

It is crucial to choose a crib that will last many years. Pick a crib that can be converted from a crib to an infant's bed, and then to a full-size mattress.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet during the early years and later converted into a toddler bed, a daybed or a larger bed. It is designed to last and is available in many colors so you can match it with your nursery's theme.

Another option that is a great choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This stunning, minimalist-style crib has a low profile that allows parents who are small to reach their child and soothe them. It has a good reputation for quality, and comes in cherry, white and espresso colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means that it is constructed from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of toxins like lead and phthalates. It also far exceeds safety standards of the government, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that's missing is a toddler rail that you can purchase separately. This is a great option for those looking for a quality affordable crib that will last for a long time.
