How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the best crib, given so many designs and safety concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, with no dangling or chewable parts. We recommend a crib with a wide selection of mattress heights and a modern design that is in line with your style.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib, make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm in the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches should not be allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items could easily fall into or become trapped between your baby and the crib bars or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made of materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also meet strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They're also designed to be durable and adaptable, so they can expand with your child.

It's important that you choose cribs that meet current safety standards, no matter if you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may become less sturdy over time due to age, humidity and frequent use. This can pose serious risks to your baby.

The slats of your crib should not be more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent babies from getting trapped between them and the hardware on the crib should be secure. Check the slats, mattress support rims and hardware for any broken or loose components.

Style

While all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some are just aesthetic, such as whether the slats are the same length or placed closer than others or not, while others have a real impact on the ease of the crib to use and maintain. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used and others, like adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib should be used exclusively for sleeping infants and is not an ideal place to store toys or clothes. It's also a good idea to put the crib on your list so that friends and family can help you get one when the time comes.
