How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is a very crucial piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to select the ideal crib, due to so many styles and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the highest safety standards, with no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a crib that has a broad choice of mattress heights and a stylish design that is in line with your style.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your baby's crib. It is important to not place any items in the crib of your baby cots on sale that could cause harm or injury, including pillows, blankets as well as sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. They could fall between your baby's crib bars or become stuck in them. They could also be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. Furthermore, they're tested by a third-party for safety and quality (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certs!). They're also designed to be tough and convertible, so they can grow along with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's crucial to choose a crib that meets the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs may become less sturdy over time due to the effects of humidity, age and use. This can create serious risks for your Baby Cot Bed.

The slats of your crib should not be more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware on the crib should be secured. It's an excellent idea to examine the slats and mattress support rims for any loose or broken components.

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

Style

Although all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some of the differences are cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced farther than others, and some can affect how easy it is to clean and use the crib. Certain features, such as drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used, while others--like adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used for toys or clothes. It's designed to be an area where babies can sleep. You can also include the crib on your registry to get help from family and friends when you need one.

Cribs come in a variety of shapes and sizes However, the ones we love best have a mix of style and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks great. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified, which we think is essential for any product that is free of toxics. It can be transformed to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Other cribs are more traditional, like the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It is a stylish option that can be incorporated into larger nursery. However, it takes more space than smaller, minimalist alternatives. Furthermore, it only has three mattress height levels, which is less than half of the other options and it's not as sturdy as some of our other options.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a modern design. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and allow you to see your baby which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for many new parents. It can be raised to relieve reflux and colic. This is suitable for babies between 6 months and the birth. It's also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a complimentary mattress. It's worth noting, though 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's vital that the mattress is at the right height. This will stop your child from escaping the crib, which could be fatal or dangerous. A higher mattress can also protect your child from heat exhaustion or suffocation.

A good crib will have adjustable slats or railings that let you raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit so you can transform the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed when your child is no longer using it. It is an excellent idea to pick a crib that is tested and certified by a third-party institution. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to make sure there aren't any chemicals or finishes present in the baby's sleeping space.

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 jarring pieces or parts. The crib's sides are shorter than those of other cribs. However, one tester reported that her child slept well and the crib was still in good condition when she gave it to a relative for her second child.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great option. It has an oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs but its quality and features are worth it. It can, for instance, be transformed into a bassinet or a toddler bed, and it 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's also an elegant touch to any nursery.

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

No Chewable or Dangling Parts

The safest cribs do not have chewable or hanging components. If something is hung above or below their crib, this could cause the rails to pull or create a strangulation risk. Babies are extremely grabbing. If parents decide to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they should be sure that the items are securely fastened and are not within Baby's reach.

In addition to the safety features of our top rated cots cribs for babies, we consider how simple it is to set up. The ideal crib will be simple enough to make it yourself, and doesn't require any special tools or long assembly time. Many parents report that it takes less than one hour to assemble a modern crib, and the instructions are generally simple to follow.

A crib is the most expensive purchase for new parents, so it is essential to choose one that will last for years to come. Select a crib that is able to be converted from a crib into an adult bed, and then a full-size mattress.

Our top pick for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib which can be used as a bassinet for those early months, then convert to a toddler bed daybed, or a full-size bed. It's designed to last for a long time and is available in a variety of colors that make it easy to match your nursery's theme.

Another great option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This beautiful, minimalist-style crib has a low profile that allows petite parents to touch their child and comfort their child. It is renowned for quality, and comes in cherry, white and espresso colors.

This is a great choice for those who are looking for a high-quality crib that is affordable and built to last.
