How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is a very crucial piece for your Baby Crib's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the right crib, with so many designs and safety concerns.

Find cribs that meet the highest safety standards and includes no chewable or dangling parts. We recommend a crib with a wide range of mattress height settings and a stylish design that matches your style.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib, make sure to adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is essential to avoid putting any items in the crib of your child that could cause harm or injury, including pillows, blankets and sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Also, 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 get stuck within them. They may also be taken in by the mattress.

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

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's essential to select cribs that meet today's strict safety standards. Secondhand cribs can have their structural integrity weakened due to age, humidity and frequent use, posing serious risks to your infant.

The slats on your crib should not exceed 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware must be secure. It's an excellent idea to inspect the mattress support rims and slats for any loose or broken components.

It is also advisable to avoid using cribs beds that have been used by other children or pets, since their safety might be at risk. Don't purchase or buy cribs with drop-side rails. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

While all cribs have to meet strict safety standards, there are numerous design variations. Some are purely aesthetic, like whether the slats are the same length or placed closer together or not, while others have a real impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Some features like drop sides and finials aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, Cot Bed (Www.Google.Co.Cr) like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

One thing to keep in mind is that a crib should be used exclusively for sleeping infants, so it's not an ideal place to store clothes or toys. It's also an excellent idea to include the crib on your list to ensure that family and friends can pitch in to help you get one when the time arrives.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes However, the ones we love best baby cots are those that combine style and function. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified, which we think is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be converted into a toddler and daybed by converting it with a separate kit.

Other cribs have a more traditional look, such as the DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots-in-1. It's a chic option that can fit in large nursery. However, it takes more space than smaller, minimalist alternatives. It has only three mattress levels, which is half the competition's number. It's also not as sturdy as our other picks.

It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a complimentary mattress that is also a match. It's worth noting, though, that it's more expensive than our other top selections and requires a toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's vital that the mattress is the correct level. This will prevent your child from climbing out of the crib, which can be risky or even fatal. A mattress that is higher will also safeguard your child from heat exhaustion or suffocation.

A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise the mattress or lower it as your baby grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit that allows you can convert the crib into a toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's also best to choose a crib that has been tested and inspected by a third party organization for safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is free of chemicals or finishes.

Another great option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which is a unique oval-shaped design that gives it a modern look.

This crib is not equipped with mattresses. You will need to buy one separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.

No dangling or chewable parts

The safest cribs are those that have no dangling or chewable components. If something is hung over or below the crib, this could cause the rails to be pulled or pose a strangulation risk. Babies are very grabby. If parents decorate their crib with toys or decorative objects, they should make sure the items are secured tightly and aren't in the reach of Baby.

In addition to the safety features of our best infant cribs, we also take into consideration how easy it is to put together. Ideally, the crib should be easy enough to make it yourself, and doesn't require any special tools or long assembly time. Many parents report that it takes less than an hour to put together an modern crib, and the instructions are usually easy to follow.
