Safety

The choice of the Best crib For newborn crib for newborns is essential to your baby's health and wellbeing. You want to make sure that it meets current safety standards, and is free from any hazards that could cause harm during sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, with no loose parts that could catch on clothing or present a choking hazard. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to inspect the crib on a regular basis.

The first thing to look at is the space between the slats. It shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to prevent your baby from falling over or getting their limbs trapped between them. You should also be able to easily see and reach your baby's crib. If you aren't then the slats are close together and need to be a bit more spacious.

Another aspect of the crib to be considered is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable, so that you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will reduce the risk of your baby leaving the crib as is a common situation as they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to look for include an upholstered sheet that fits the mattress with ease and solid and stable construction. It is also recommended to choose a crib that has fixed sides rather than ones with drop sides, which can be hazardous for your baby. You should also sleep in the same room as your baby until they are old enough for them to be able to go off on their own.

Also, make sure that the crib is away from windows and radiators and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach. You should also remove objects that could pose danger to your child's health like blankets or pillows. You should also be wary of purchasing second-hand cribs since they may not have met the safety standards of today or been recalled for different reasons.

Design

While cribs might appear similar, it's crucial to remember that every crib must comply with strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we examined are constructed in a similar way to ensure structural integrity. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could entangle or squeeze babies. We also examined each crib and evaluated it for its simplicity of use and assembly. More parts can mean more confusion, so we recommend choosing one that has a few easy-to-follow directions to avoid frustration.

The Evolur Sprout crib is among our top picks. It features a chic modern design and comes in a range of colors, including two-toned options. It also comes with a universal mattress fitting, and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having minimal volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Mattress

Newborns can be messy, and a clean crib mattress is an essential. Spit-up from babies and diaper leaks can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty which can lead to mildew or bacterial growth that could be harmful to infants. Select a mattress that can be easily cleaned with an mild cleaner or cloth. Also, select a waterproof cover to stop fluids from entering the mattress.

Look for a mattress that is rated to last 10 years, which means it's ready for toddlers and beyond. A majority of the mattresses discussed here are reversible with a toddler and infant side. This lets you use them from the time of birth until your child is old enough to be their full-size bed.

A firm crib mattress is ideal for infants, because it will provide the most support to their developing spines. A super-firm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS. This is because an extremely soft mattress increases the likelihood that an infant's head will sink into it.

If you are in search of a firm crib mattress make sure you check the label to make sure that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a risk to infants. There are also certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which prove that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that can harm infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a crib mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects, or don't want to move a heavy object, you may want a lighter mattress. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It's also made of foam instead of inner woven-core, making it easier to maneuver when compared to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more.

Assembly

A crib that's easy to put together is ideal for new parents. You want to find the crib that has hardware that is securely secured, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet the current safety standards.

If you're looking for a crib, bear in mind that you'll require a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib). These kits are sold separately by a majority of manufacturers. These kits are often affordable cots and can help your child make the transition from a smaller bed more smoothly.

Many new parents appreciate the long-lasting quality that is offered by convertible cribs, and they're a good choice for families with several children. They've been built to last and can be transformed into toddler beds, daybeds, or full-size beds.
