How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely crucial piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to select the best crib, given numerous styles and safety concerns.

Choose a crib that meets the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling components. We also suggest a crib with a wide selection of mattress heights and a stylish design that matches your style.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib, make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes pillows, blankets and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Your baby should also not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. These items can easily fall into or be caught between your baby and the crib bars, or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The most suitable cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also comply with strict federal, state and local requirements for structural safety. Additionally, they're third-party tested for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certificates!). And they are designed to be durable and convertible so they can expand with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's important to select a crib that is in line with today's rigorous safety standards. Used cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and heavy use, posing serious dangers to your baby.

The crib's slats should be no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib should be secured. Examine the slats, mattress support rims, baby cots online and hardware for any broken or loose components.

It is recommended cribs to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, as their safety may be at risk. Do not purchase or purchase 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

There are a lot of different designs of cribs, despite the fact that they all must be safe to use standards. Some differences are purely aesthetic, such as whether the slats are all the same length or are spaced further than others, and some can impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Some features like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are coveted by a lot of parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be an area where babies can sleep. It's also an excellent idea to include a crib on your registry to ensure that family and friends can lend a hand to help you get one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in many different styles, but we prefer those that combine fashion and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks gorgeous. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified which we believe is a must for any product that is non-toxic. It can be turned into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs feature an older-style look, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a chic option that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes up more space than smaller minimalist options. It has only three levels of mattress which is less than the number of competitors. It's also not as sturdy as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern look. Its concealed hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and make it easier to see your baby which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for a lot of new parents. It can be raised higher to relieve reflux and colic. This makes it suitable for babies aged 6 months and birth. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a mattress. It's worth noting, however, that it's more expensive than our other top picks and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby sleeps in their crib, it's vital that the mattress is at the correct height. This will ensure that your child doesn't fall out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from overheating or suffocation.

A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats that permit you to raise the mattress or lower it as your baby grows. A conversion kit is included with most good cribs so that you can turn it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed when your child is no longer in the crib. It's an excellent idea to pick the 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 ensure that there are minimal chemicals or Baby Cot finishes in the crib where your baby sleeps.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib one of the most highly-rated cribs on the market, and it's simple to put together and has a simple design that doesn't have any jarring pieces or parts. The crib's sides are shorter than other models. However, one parent test subject said that their baby slept well and that the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a friend for her second baby.

Another great option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which is a unique oval-shaped design that gives it a contemporary appearance. It is a little more expensive than other cribs, however its durability and features are worth it. It can, for instance, be transformed into a bassinet, or toddler bed. It also has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be used to create a like a womb for your baby. It also adds an elegant touch to any nursery.

This crib does not come with mattresses. You'll need to purchase a mattress separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that will grow with your child as they go from newborn to toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The safest cribs are those that are free of chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grasp objects, and if something is hanging from or above their crib it could pull off the rails or become an injury to strangulation. If parents decide to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they must make sure that the items are securely fastened and are out of Baby's reach.

In addition to the safety features of our best cribs for babies, we consider how simple it is to put together. Ideally, the crib should be simple enough that you can make it yourself and doesn't require special tools or long assembly time. The majority of parents say it takes less than an hour to assemble the modern crib, and the directions are generally easy to follow.

It is crucial to choose the right crib that will last for many years. For longevity, opt for a convertible crib that can be used from the time of infancy all the way up to the toddler bed, and then an adult-sized bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet during the early months and then transformed into a toddler infant cot bed, a daybed or a larger bed. It is designed to last and comes in many colors so you can match it with your nursery's design theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another fantastic option. This gorgeous, minimalist-style crib is low-profile so that parents with small feet can reach their child cots and tots calm them. It is renowned for its quality, and is available in cherry, white and espresso colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it is made from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also exceeds government standards such as ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing that is missing is the toddler rail. You can purchase it separately. This is a great option for those who are looking for an affordable, high-quality crib that will last for a long time.
