How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable crib can be a daunting task particularly with the number of different designs and security concerns.

Look for a crib that has the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling components. We also suggest a chic crib with a variety of mattress heights and modern, sleek design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your crib for your child. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in your cheap baby cots's crib which could cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows and sheepskins, stuffed toys, and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items could easily get caught between the crib bars or become trapped in them. They may also get swallowed by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also comply with strict federal laws, local and state requirements for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for safety and quality (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certifications!). They're designed to last and are flexible, allowing them to expand with your child.

It is also advisable to avoid using cribs that have been used by other children and/or pets, as their safety may be compromised. Don't buy or accept a crib 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 comply with strict safety standards, you'll find numerous design variations. Some are purely aesthetic, such as whether the slats are of identical in length or are spaced closer together and others have an impact on the ease of the crib to use and maintain. Some features like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, like adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used for toys or clothes. It's intended to be a place where babies can sleep. It's also a good idea to put the crib on your list so that friends and Best Crib Newborn family can lend a hand to assist you in getting one when the time comes.
