How to Choose the best crib Infant Cribs

The crib is a very important piece for the nursery of your baby. It isn't easy to select the right crib, with so many designs and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the most stringent safety standards, including no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a crib with a broad range of mattress height settings and a sleek design that complements your style.

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your child's crib. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to your baby's nursery. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. These items could easily fall into or become trapped between your baby and the crib bars, or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The most suitable 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, local and state requirements for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to be durable and convertible, so they'll continue to grow with your child.

It is essential to select a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to age, humidity and frequent use, posing serious dangers to your baby.

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

It's also wise to stay clear of cribs that have been used by other children or pets, as their security might be compromised. Finally, don't purchase or purchase a second-hand crib with a drop side rail, which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to security reasons.

Style

Although all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, there are numerous design variations. Some are just cosmetic, like the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others could make it difficult to use and clean the crib. Some features like drop sides and finials are not safe and should not be used. Other features, like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be a place for babies to sleep. It's also recommended to put the crib on your registry so that your family and friends can lend a hand to help you get one when the time comes.

Cribs come in all shapes and sizes however, the ones we love best combine style and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks great. It is also GREENGUARD gold-certified which we believe 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, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stylish choice that will fit into large nurseries. However, it occupies more floor space when compared to smaller minimalist options. It has only three mattress levels which is a fraction of the competition's number. It's not as sturdy as our other choices.

Another option with modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its concealed hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and make it easier to see your baby which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for a lot of new parents. It can be raised higher to relieve reflux and colic. This is suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than other top picks and requires a separate conversion kit for toddler cheap cot beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby sleeps in their crib, it's important that the mattress is the correct height. This will stop your child from escaping the crib, which can be fatal or dangerous. A higher mattress can also safeguard your child from overheating or suffocation.

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise or lower it as your child grows. Most good cribs (helpful resources) will also include a conversion kit so you can convert the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed after your baby outgrows it. It's recommended to pick a crib that is tested and certified by a third-party organization. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications ensure that the crib of your baby is free of any chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has simple design and doesn't have confusing parts. It is among the top-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are smaller than most cribs, but one parent tester stated that her baby did well sleeping in it and was still in good shape when she gave it to a relative after the birth of her second child was born.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which features a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary style. It's a little more expensive than other cribs, but its quality and features are worth it. For instance, it can be converted into a bassinet or toddler bed. It also is able to be moved on wheels, making it easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a more child-like space for your baby. It also adds an elegant touch to any nursery.

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

No dangling or chewable components.

The most secure cribs do not have chewable or dangling components. If something is hung above or below their crib, this could cause the rails to be pulled or pose 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 attached and are not within Baby's reach.

In addition to the safety features of our best infant cribs, we also look at how easy it is to set up. The crib should be easy enough to assemble yourself, without requiring special tools or a long amount of time. Many parents report that it takes less than an hour to put together the modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

It is crucial to choose a crib that will last many years. For longevity, opt for an adjustable crib that will be used from the time of infancy all the way up to a toddler cheap cot bed and finally a larger bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet during the early months and then converted into an infant bed, a daybed or a large bed. It's made for long-term use and is available in a variety of colors, making it easy to match with your nursery's theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another fantastic alternative. This gorgeous, minimalist-style crib is low-profile, so parents with small feet can reach their child to comfort them. It has a good reputation for quality and comes in white, cherry and espresso colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified for finish quality and environmental protection, and it's constructed from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of toxins like 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 the toddler rail. You can buy it separately. This is a good option for those looking for an affordable, high-quality crib that will last.
