A crib is one of the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the best crib, given so many designs and safety concerns.

We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress heights and a sleek, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib, make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is crucial to not place any items in the crib of your baby that could potentially cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows and sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Your Baby Cot Bed should also not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. 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 laws, local and state regulations for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to last and reversible, which means they'll continue to grow with your child.

No matter if you're buying new or used, it's important to choose a crib that is in line with the current stringent safety standards. Used cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to aging, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose grave dangers to your child.

The slats on your crib should not be more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib should be secure. Check the slats, mattress support rims and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It's best to avoid cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety may have been compromised. Don't purchase or buy recommended cribs with drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

While all cribs must meet strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some are just aesthetic, such as if the slats are the same length or placed closer apart or not, while others have a real impact on how easy the crib is to use and maintain. Some features like drop sides and finials are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, like adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.

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

Cribs come in a variety of sizes and shapes however, the ones we like best are those that combine style and function. For example the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which we consider an essential feature for any product that is free of toxics and it's able to convert into a toddler bed as well as a daybed (toddler conversion kit sold separately).

Some cribs sport a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It is a stylish option that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. Additionally, it has only three levels of mattress height, which is less than half of the competition, and it's not as sturdy as our other options.

Another option with a modern aesthetic is the Babyletto Hudson. The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware enhance airflow and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that many new parents will consider important. It can be raised higher to ease colic and reflux. This is suitable for babies aged 6 months and the birth. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and includes an additional mattress. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than the other top picks and requires a separate conversion kit for toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that your baby's crib mattress is of the correct height. This ensures that your child isn't able to climb out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your baby from overheating or suffocation.

A good crib should come with 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 a daybed or toddler bed when your child is no longer in the crib. Finally, it's best to choose a crib that has been tested and certified by a third party organisation to ensure safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to ensure that there aren't any chemicals or finishes present in your baby's sleep space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the best cot bed-rated cribs available, and it's easy to assemble, with a straightforward design that doesn't include any confusing parts or pieces. The crib's sides are shorter than the other models. However, one 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 child.

Another great option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which is a unique oval-shaped design that gives it a contemporary look. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs, however its quality and features make up for it. It is able to be converted into an infant bed or a bassinet and comes with wheels that make it easy to move around. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a more womb-like environment for your baby and adds an elegant touch to any nursery.

The only drawback to this crib is that it doesn't include a mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a secure, comfortable crib that will expand with your child as they transition from infant to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Parts

The safest cribs do not have chewable or dangling parts. If something is hanging over or below the crib, this could cause the rails to pull or pose a strangulation risk. Babies are very grabby. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should ensure that the items are securely secured and aren't within reach of Baby.

We also examine how easy it is to build our top infant cribs. Ideally, the crib should be simple enough that you can make it yourself and doesn't require specialized tools or extensive assembly time. Many parents report that it takes less than one hour to assemble a modern crib, and the instructions are generally easy to follow.

A crib is the most expensive purchase for new parents, which is why it's crucial to find one that will last for years to be. Choose a crib that can be transformed from a crib into a toddler's bed, and later a full-size mattress.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet for the early years and later transformed into an infant bed, a daybed, or a larger bed. It's built to last and comes in a variety of colors, so you can match it to your nursery's theme.

Another great option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This gorgeous, minimalist-style crib is low-profile to ensure that parents with small feet can reach their child to soothe them. It also has a good reputation for quality and comes in white, cherry, espresso, and natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified for finish quality and environmental safety, and it's made from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of harmful substances such as lead and phthalates (BPA). It also exceeds the standards of government agencies such as ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing that's missing is a toddler rail, which you can purchase separately. This is a great option for those who are seeking a top-quality, affordable crib that will last for a long time.
