Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport Cot Bed is a minimalist crib that will look gorgeous in a Scandi-style nursery. It also provides a good variety of versatility by offering three mattress support height levels and the possibility of transforming into a toddler bed.

Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets could be a better option in case your home is small. Many parents prefer a crib due to of safety concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and wellbeing. You should ensure that it is in compliance with current safety standards and is free from dangers that could harm your baby during their sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for indications of wear or damage.

The first thing to look at is the space between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/cots 4 tots inches to avoid your baby being able to get their head or limbs caught between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child's crib. If you aren't see, the slats need to be broader and not as close to each other.

The mattress support system is an additional aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It should be adjustable to different heights so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will reduce the possibility of your baby climbing out of the crib as is a common situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and solid and sturdy construction are other security features to be looking for. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one that has drop sides. Drop sides could be dangerous for your child. You should also share the same bedroom as your baby until they are old enough for them to be able to go off on their own.

Not least, make sure the crib is removed from radiators and windows, and that dangling items like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. It is also recommended to remove any items that could be the risk of choking like pillows or blankets. Be careful when purchasing used cribs as they may not be in compliance with the current safety standards or have been recalled.

Design

Although cribs may appear similar, it's crucial to remember that every crib must adhere to strict safety guidelines. This is why the majority cribs we looked at are of a similar design to ensure uniformity of structural integrity. For example, most have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or snag the baby. We also examined each crib and evaluated it for its simplicity of use and assembly. We suggest selecting the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

The Evolur Sprout crib is among our favorites. It features a chic modern design and comes in a range of colors, including two-toned options. It also has a universal mattress fitting, and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. This crib is sleek, modern and minimalist in appearance. It's ideal for modern nursery designs. The crib comes in different finishes and four different mattress heights so that your baby can use it as a toddler or newborn. The crib was extremely solid and stable. It didn't flex or creak when a large child climbed in.

If you're planning on having more children, you may want to consider a convertible crib. Many of these options can be converted into a toddler bed, and then a full-size bed, providing a long-lasting product for your money. The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is an example of a convertible crib that received high marks from our test parents. A few of them mentioned that the drop-down side rail made feeding at night easier and safer and that the crib was spacious enough for the co-sleeping baby to feel at ease while dad and mom were asleep.

The Carter's Colby 4-in-1 by DaVinci is an excellent choice if you like a more traditional style. This crib is cheaper than the Stork Craft, and it is a classic design that is compatible with most nursery decors. It has three different mattress heights, but it could be a bit shallow for some toddlers and small parents.

Mattress

A washable crib mattress will be useful for infants. Baby Crib spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and filthy, leading to mildew and bacteria that may affect infants. Look for a product that can be wiped down with a cloth or scrubbed with mild cleaner. Also, select a mattress cover that is waterproof to stop liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health problems.

Look for a mattress that is rated up to 10 years, so it is suitable for toddlers. Many of the products in this review are reversible with toddler and infant sides, which allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is old enough to be an adult-sized bed.

A firm mattress for the crib is ideal because it supports their spines while they are developing. A firm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS. This is because an extremely soft mattress increases the likelihood that an infant's head will sink into it.

If you are looking for a mattress for your crib that is firm be sure to check the label to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a risk for infants. You'll also see certifications such as Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US which are a great crib sign that the mattress has been tested for the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could harm infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of the mattress. Sheet changes at night require you to move and lift the mattress. If you struggle lifting heavy objects or don't want take on a heavy product then consider getting a lighter crib mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example is only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses featured in this review. It is also made of foam rather than woven-core inners, which makes it more maneuverable compared with a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

New parents will be happy with a crib that's easy to put together. Choose a crib with hardware that's firmly secured and has without sharp edges or rough spots that could rub your baby's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet the safety standards of today.

If you decide to purchase a convertible crib, you'll require a separate kit for converting it into an adult bed. These kits are sold separately by most manufacturers. These kits are typically cheap and can assist your child to make the transition to a bigger bed more smoothly.

Convertible cribs can be a great option for families with several children. These cribs are built to last, and typically can be converted into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size bed.

The DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 Crib is solid wood crib that is GREENGUARD Gold Certified and has four mattress-level heights. It's available in white or slate grey to match any nursery decor.

Our testers found this crib very easy to put together - it took 23 minutes to complete.

The Sprout Crib, another top-rated crib is made from sustainably harvested Baltic birch. It meets all U.S. safety standards, in addition to those of Australia, Canada and Europe.

It has received numerous awards from different parenting publications, including BabyCenter and Babble.
