How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

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

Choose cribs that meet the highest safety standards and has no chewable or dangling components. We also suggest a crib with a wide range of mattress height settings and a modern design that matches your style.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when placing and assembling your child's crib. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes pillows, blankets and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items could easily fall between your baby's crib bars or become stuck within them. They could also be swallowed by the mattress.

The best baby cots cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also adhere to strict federal laws, state and local standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They're also designed to last and convertible, meaning they'll continue to grow with your child.

It is essential to select a crib that meets current safety standards, no matter if you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Secondhand cribs can be damaged in their structural integrity due to humidity, age and prolonged use, which can pose grave dangers to your child.

The crib's slats should not be more than 3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware should be secure. It's also a good idea to check the slats and the rims of the mattress support for broken or loose parts.

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, as their safety may be at risk. Don't buy or buy a secondhand crib that has the drop side rail which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for reasons of safety.

Style

There are a lot of variations in the design of cribs, even though they all have to meet safety standards. Some are just cosmetic, like the slats have the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others can affect how easy it is to use and clean the crib. Some features like drop sides and finials aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are sought-after by a lot of parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's intended to be a place where babies can sleep. You can also include a crib on your registry to seek assistance from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in many different styles We prefer those that combine design and function. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks stunning. It is also GREENGUARD gold-certified which we believe is essential for any product that is free of toxics. It can be turned into a daybed and 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 up more space than smaller minimalist options. Additionally, it has only three levels of mattress height, which is less than half the alternatives and isn't as durable as our other options.

It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with a free matching mattress. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than other top picks and requires an additional conversion kit for toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that your baby's crib mattress is the right height. This will prevent your child from climbing out of the crib, which could be dangerous or fatal. A higher mattress also helps protect your baby from overheating or becoming suffocated.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats that permit you to raise or lower it as your child grows. A conversion kit is included in the majority of cribs, to allow you to convert it into a daybed or toddler bed after your child has outgrown the crib. It is also a good idea for you to choose the crib that has been certified and tested by a third-party institution. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee that the crib of your baby is free of chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib is one of the most highly-rated cribs on the market, and it's easy to put together, with a straightforward layout that doesn't contain any confusing parts or pieces.

It also has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a like a womb for your Baby Crib and adds an elegant touch to any nursery.

No dangling or chewable parts

The safest cribs do not have chewable or hanging components. Babies like to grab things, and if something is hanging from or above their crib, it could snag against the rails or create a strangulation hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should make sure the items are securely secured and aren't in the reach of Baby.
