How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an crucial piece for the nursery of your baby. It can be difficult to choose the best crib, given numerous styles and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the most stringent safety standards, including no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a stylish crib with a range of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib, make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm in your baby's nursery. 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 larger than 15 inches. These items can easily fall into or be caught between your baby and the crib bars or they could be engulfed by the mattress.

The best cot newborn cribs for infants are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They're designed to be durable and adaptable, so they can adapt to your child's needs.

It's important that you choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, regardless of whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Used cribs can be weakened in the course of time due to the effects of humidity, age and use. This can cause serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should not exceed 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware should be secure. Check the slats, mattress support rims, and hardware for any broken or loose components.

It's also recommended to avoid using cribs that have been used by other children and/or pets, as their security might be compromised. Don't purchase or buy cribs with drop-side rails. 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 numerous design variations. Some are simply aesthetic, like whether the slats are the same length or placed closer than others or not, while others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides, aren't safe and should not be used, while others--like adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters desirable for many parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib is meant solely for sleep for infants and is not a place to store toys or clothes. You can also put the crib on your registry to receive help from family and friends in the event you need help.

Cribs come in many different styles However, we prefer ones that blend design and function. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified and we believe that is a must for any toxic-free product. 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's a stylish choice that can fit in large nursery. However, it takes more floor space compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. Moreover, it only has three mattress height levels which is less than half of the competition and isn't as sturdy as our other picks.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a modern design. The Babyletto Hudson's all-round mesh and hidden hardware help to improve the flow of air, and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that new parents find important. It can be raised to alleviate colic and reflux. This makes it suitable for babies aged 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD certified GOLD and comes with a complimentary mattress that is also a match. It's important to remember that this bed is more expensive than other top options, and it requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler small cot beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it is important that the mattress is the correct height. This will prevent your child from escaping the crib, which could be fatal or dangerous. A mattress that is higher can also help to keep your child safe from overheating or becoming suffocated.

A quality crib will include slats that can be adjusted or railings that let you raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. A majority of cribs include a conversion kit so you can convert the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed after your baby outgrows it. It is recommended to pick a crib which 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 are no harmful chemicals or finishes present in your baby's sleep space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib one of the most highly-rated cribs available, and it's easy to assemble and has a simple layout that doesn't contain any complicated pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are smaller than many other models, but one parent tester said that her child slept well in it and remained in good shape when she gave it to a friend following the birth of her second child was born.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic alternative. It features an oval shape which creates a modern appearance. It's a bit more expensive than most cribs, but it's sturdy and comes with a number of options to make up the cost. For example, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or a toddler bed, and it comes with wheels that make it easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be utilized to create a child-like space for your baby and adds an elegant look to any nursery.

The only downside to this crib is that it doesn't come with mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that will grow with your child from infant to toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The most secure cribs have no dangling or chewable components. Babies love to grasp things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging from or above their crib, it could pull off the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or decorative objects, they should ensure that the items are securely secured and not in reach of Baby.

We also look at how it is easy to put together our top infant cribs. The crib should be easy enough to put together yourself without the need for special tools or a large amount of time. Many parents report that it takes less than one hour to put together the modern crib, and the directions are generally easy to follow.

A crib is an important purchase for many new parents, and it's crucial to find one that will last for many years to be. Pick a crib that can be transformed from a crib to an infant's bed, and then a full-size mattress.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet during the early months and then converted into an infant bed, a daybed or a full-size best cot 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.

Another option that is a great choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This beautiful, minimal-style crib is low-profile to ensure that petite parents can reach their child to soothe them. It is renowned for quality, and comes in white, cherry and espresso colors.

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