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 ideal crib, due to so many designs and safety concerns.

Look for a crib that adheres to the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress heights and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when placing and assembling your child's crib. It is important to not place any items in your baby's crib that could cause harm or injury including blankets, pillows as well as sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Also, your baby cots online should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. They could easily fall into or be caught between your baby and the crib bars or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The best infant cribs are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also meet strict federal laws, state and local requirements for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certificates!). They're also designed to last and are adaptable, so they can adapt to your child's needs.

Whether you're buying new or used, it's crucial to choose a crib that meets the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs may become less sturdy over time due to humidity, age and heavy use. This can cause serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should be spaced no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep babies from getting trapped between them and the hardware that is on the crib should be secured. It's also a good idea to check the slats and mattress support rims for broken or loose components.

It's also wise to stay clear of cribs that have been used by children or pets, as their safety might be at risk. Don't buy or accept the crib that has a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

There are many design differences between cribs, despite the fact that all have to meet safety standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as if the slats are of the same length or placed closer than others, while others have an impact on the ease of the crib to operate and maintain. Some features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.
