Choosing the best crib for newborn Crib Newborn

The Westport Cot Bed is a minimalist crib that will look stunning in a Scandi-design nursery. It's also extremely flexible, as it has three different mattress support heights. It also can be converted into a toddler's bed.

Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets may be a better choice if your house is small. However, a lot of parents prefer a crib for security reasons.

Safety

The choice of the best crib for newborns is crucial to your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that it conforms to current safety standards and is free of dangers that could cause harm to your baby as they sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, with no loose parts that might catch on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to check the crib regularly.

The first thing to look at is the space between slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent your baby's head or legs from getting trapped in between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child in the crib. If not see, the slats need to be wider and not as close to each other.

The mattress support system is an additional aspect to think about when choosing a crib. It should be adjustable to different heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the chance of your child getting out of the crib as is a common event as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a solid and stable structure are additional safety features you should look for. Choose a crib with fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be dangerous for your child. It's also better to share a room with your baby for the first six months or so, and only transfer them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be supervised when they sleep on their own.

The last thing to do is make sure the crib is kept away from radiators and windows and that hanging items such as curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach. You should also remove anything that could create danger of choking such as blankets or pillows. Be careful when purchasing used cribs, as they may not meet current safety standards, or have been recalls.

Design

It is crucial to remember that cribs can look similar, but must comply with strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we looked at were designed in a similar fashion to ensure the structural integrity. Most cribs have circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could catch a baby or pinch them. We also tested and rated each crib for how easily it was to use and to assemble. We recommend choosing a crib with fewer parts to avoid confusion.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in several colors, including two-toned. It also comes with a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have the lowest amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can off-gas into the nursery.

Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is a different alternative. The crib is sleek, modern tots and cots minimalist in design. It's ideal for modern nurseries. The crib comes in different finishes and four different mattress heights so that your baby can use it as a toddler or a newborn. We tried the crib and found it to be solid and stable, without creaking or flexing when a child weighed a lot of weight inside.

Convertible cribs are an excellent option if you're planning to have more children. These cribs can be converted into a bed for toddlers and then a full-size mattress, providing an excellent value for your money. Our test parents gave the Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib top marks as an example of convertible beds. The side rail that can be removed was loved by a lot of parents for making nighttime feedings safer and easier. They also said that the crib was spacious enough room for the baby to sleep comfortably while dad and mom slept.

If you are looking for a classic style, the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1 crib is a good choice. It is less expensive than the Stork Craft, and it has a timeless style that is compatible with most nursery decors. It has three different heights for the mattress, but some parents and toddlers may feel it is a bit low.

Mattress

Babies are messy and a washable crib mattress is an essential. Baby spit up and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and dirty that can cause mildew and other bacteria that can be harmful to infants. Choose a product that is easily cleaned with mild cleaner or cloth. Also, choose an waterproof cover to prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress.

Find a mattress that is rated for up to 10 years, so that it can be used for toddlers. Many of the mattresses featured in this review can be reversible, with toddler and infant cot bed sides which will let you use them right from birth until your child is ready to move on to the full-size bed.

A mattress that is firm is the best choice for infants because it will provide the greatest support for their developing spines. A super-firm sleeping surface can also reduce the risk of SIDS. This is due to the fact that an extremely soft mattress increases the possibility that a child's head will sink into it.

Look over the label on a firm mattress to ensure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat to babies. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that could affect infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

Another consideration is the weight of a mattress for a crib. Sheet changes at night require you to move and lift the mattress. If you struggle lifting heavy objects or aren't able to take on a heavy product then consider getting a lighter crib mattress. For example, the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, which makes it the largest in this review. It's also made of foam, not woven-core inners, which makes it more maneuverable compared with the heavier coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that is easy to assemble is great crib for parents who are new. You want to find the crib that has hardware that is securely secured and with no sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby. Also, avoid any cribs that have drop-sides or headboard/footboard cutouts -- these features aren't compatible with the current safety standards.

If you decide to purchase a convertible crib, you will need to purchase a separate kit for converting it into a toddler bed. These kits are offered separately by most manufacturers. These kits are typically affordable and can assist your child to make the transition to a larger bed more easily.

Many new parents appreciate the longevity that comes with the convertible crib, and they're a good option for families with multiple children. The recommended cribs are designed to last, and they can be converted into toddler beds, daybeds, or full-size beds.

The DaVinci Jaden 4-in-1 crib a solid-wood crib that's GREENGUARD Certified Gold and has four mattress heights. It has a traditional style and is available in white or slate grey to match any nursery decor. The crib is easy to move around and has locking wheels. It can be used with the majority of twin mattresses. The crib took our test subjects only 23 minutes to assemble.

The Sprout Crib, another top-rated crib is made from sustainably harvested Baltic birch. It meets all U.S. safety standards, as well as those of Australia, Canada, and Europe. It is a minimalist, stylish design that will be a perfect fit with any bedroom décor. The Sprout is one of the tiniest cribs we've tested at 6kg, making it easy to move around. It also comes with a handy travel bag.

The runner-up of our tests The Oeuf Modern Crib is built with sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine. It has received numerous awards from parenting magazines such as BabyCenter and Babble. It has a medium-height profile that can be transformed from an infant crib to a toddler bed with rail or a daybed without the rail. It's easy to set up and has lots of aesthetic appeal, but the thin finish is prone to scratches when used regularly.
