How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with so many styles and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the highest safety standards, with no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a crib with a wide range of mattress height settings and a stylish design that complements your style.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when placing and assembling your crib for your child. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Your baby should also not sleep with any teddy bears dolls or stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches. They could slide between the crib bars or get stuck in them. They may also be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cot bed infant cribs are made of safe materials that are free from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal laws, local and state requirements for structural safety. Furthermore, they're tested by a third-party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certificates!). They're designed to last and are convertible so they can expand with your child.

It's important that you choose cribs that meet current safety standards, regardless of whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may lose their structural integrity due to age, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should not exceed 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters), and the hardware should be secured. It's also a good idea to inspect the slats and mattress support rims for broken or loose components.

It's also recommended to stay clear of cribs that have been used by children or pets, as their safety could be at risk. Don't purchase or buy a crib with a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are many design differences between cribs, even though they all must be safe to use standards. Some differences are purely aesthetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further apart, while others could impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Certain features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like the adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are sought-after by a lot of parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib is meant exclusively for sleeping infants It's not a place to store clothes or toys. It's also a good idea to put a crib on your registry so that friends and family can lend a hand to assist you in getting one when the time arrives.

Cribs come in many different styles, but we prefer ones that blend fashion and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks great. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified which we believe is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Some cribs sport a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots-in-1. It's a stately choice that can be incorporated into large nursery spaces, however it takes up more space than smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some find distracting. Additionally, it has only three mattress height levels which is less than half the competition, and it's not as sturdy as some of our other options.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern look. The Babyletto Hudson's all-round mesh and hidden hardware help to improve airflow and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that many new parents will appreciate. It can also be elevated to a higher position to ease colic and reflux, making it suitable for babies ranging from birth to 6 months. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD certified and includes a free matching mattress. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than other top options, and it requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

When your Baby Crib is sleeping in their crib, it's important that the mattress is at the right level. This ensures that your child can't climb out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from heat exhaustion or suffocation.

A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats that permit you to raise the mattress or lower it as your child grows. Most Good Cribs (Historydb.Date) will also come with a conversion kit, so you can transform the crib into the toddler bed or daybed when your child is no longer using it. It's also a good idea to pick a crib which has been tested and certified by a third-party organization. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to ensure that there aren't any chemicals or finishes present in the baby's sleeping space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib has simple design and doesn't have confusing parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are smaller than other cribs however, one user said that her child did well sleeping in it, and was in good shape when she gave it to a friend after her second child was born.

Another great crib option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which has a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary appearance. It's a bit more costly than the majority of cribs, but it's sturdy and comes with a number of features that make up the cost. It is able to be transformed into a bassinet or toddler bed and has wheels that make it easy to move. It also comes with a canopy that can be utilized to create a like a womb for your Baby beds. It also adds a stylish touch to any nursery.

The only drawback to this crib is that it doesn't include mattress, which you'll need to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No dangling or chewable parts

The safest cribs are those that are free of chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grasp things, and if something is hanging from or above their crib, it could pull on the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should make sure the items are secured tightly and aren't in the reach of Baby.

In addition to the security features of our top cribs for babies, we take into consideration how easy it is to set up. Ideally, the crib should be simple enough that you can make 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 clear and easy to follow.

A crib is the most expensive purchase for new parents, so it is essential to choose one that will last for many years to be. For longevity, opt for a convertible crib that can start at the beginning of your child's life all the way to the toddler bed, and then a larger bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet during the beginning, and later converted into a toddler bed, a daybed or a large bed. It's built to last and comes in a variety of colors so that you can match it with the theme of your nursery's decor.

Another excellent choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This stunning, minimalist-style crib is low-profile to ensure that petite parents can touch their child to soothe them. It also has a great reputation for quality and comes in white, cherry and espresso colors as well as natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means that it is constructed from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also surpasses all safety standards set by the government, such as ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that's missing is a toddler rail which you can purchase separately. This is an excellent option for those seeking a top-quality affordable crib that will last for a long time.
