How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable crib can be overwhelming particularly with the number of different designs and security concerns.

Find a crib that meets the most stringent safety standards, including no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a crib with a wide selection of mattress heights and a sleek design that complements your style.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib make sure you follow the 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 which could cause injury or harm including blankets, pillows, sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. These items can easily get caught between the crib bars or get stuck within them. They may also get taken up by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also adhere to strict federal laws, state and Baby Cot Bed local requirements for structural safety. Furthermore, they're tested by a third-party for small Mini Cot Bed beds (click the following internet page) safety and quality (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.

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

The slats on your crib should be spaced no 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. Examine the slats, mattress support rims, and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It is also advisable to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets, as their security might have been compromised. Don't buy or accept 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

While all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, there are a lot of design differences. Some are purely aesthetic, like whether the slats are the same length or spaced closer than others or not, while others have a real impact on the ease of the crib to maintain and use. Certain features such as drop sides and finials aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

A crib is not meant to be used for toys or clothes. It's designed to be a place for babies to sleep. You can also put a crib on your registry to seek assistance from family and friends when you need one.

Cribs are available in a variety of different styles We prefer those that combine style with functionality. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and looks sharp. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified which we believe is essential for any toxic-free product. It can be turned to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs sport more traditional designs, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a grand crib that fits well into large nurseries, but it occupies more floor space than smaller and minimalist models, and also has exposed hardware that some find distracting. It has only three mattress levels which is a fraction of the number of competitors. It's also not as durable as our other picks.

Another option that has contemporary design is the Babyletto Hudson. The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware enhance airflow and Dr. Casares believes that this is an attribute that a lot of new parents will consider important. It can also be elevated to a higher position to alleviate reflux and colic, making it suitable for babies from birth to 6 months. It's also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a matching mattress. It's worth noting, though, that it's more expensive than our other top ranked cribs choices and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that the mattress on your baby's crib is at the correct height. This will prevent your child from escaping the crib, which can be dangerous or fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from suffocation or overheating.

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise or lower it as your child grows. A conversion kit comes in the majority of cribs, to allow you to convert it into a toddler bed or daybed when your child is no longer in the crib. Finally, it's best to choose a crib that has been tested and inspected by a third-party organization for safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to make sure there are minimal chemical or other finishes in the baby's sleeping space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has a simple design and no complicated parts. It is among the top cribs. The sides of the crib are smaller than many other models however one tester reported that her baby slept well in it, and was in good condition when she gave it to a relative after the birth of her second child was born.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another excellent option. It has an oval shape, which gives it a contemporary look. It's more expensive than most cribs, but it is durable and has many features that make up the price. It is able to be transformed into an infant bed or a bassinet and comes with wheels that make it easy to move. It also has a canopy that can be used to create a child-like space for your baby. It also adds an elegant look to any nursery.

This crib does not come with mattresses. You'll need to buy one separately. However, it's a secure and comfortable crib that can be adapted to your child's needs from infant to toddler.

There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or hanging components. Babies like to grab things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging over or above their crib, it could snag off the rails or become an injury to strangulation. If a parent decides to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they need to make sure that the items are securely fastened and are not within Baby's reach.

In addition to the safety features of our best cribs for babies, we consider how simple it is to put together. The crib should be simple enough to assemble by yourself, without the need for special tools or a lot of time. The majority of parents say it takes less than an hour to assemble an modern crib, and the instructions are generally simple to follow.

It is essential to select the right crib that will last for many years. For long-lasting use, choose a convertible crib that will be used from the time of infancy all the way to an adult bed and then an adult-sized bed.

Our top choice for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib that can be used to replace the bassinet in the early months, and then be converted to a toddler bed daybed, and a full-size bed. It's made for long-term use and comes in a range of colors that make it easy to match your nursery design theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another great option. This stunning, minimalist-style crib has a slim profile that allows parents who are small to touch their child and comfort their child. It also has a great 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 constructed from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of toxins such as lead and phthalates (BPA). It also surpasses standards set by the government like ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing missing is a toddler rail which you can buy separately. This is a good option for those who are looking for an affordable cots, high-quality crib that will last for a long time.
