How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with so many designs and safety concerns.

Look for a crib that has the most stringent safety standards, including no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a stylish crib with a range of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib, make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is important to not place any items in the crib of your baby that could potentially cause injury or harm including blankets, pillows, sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches should not be allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. They could slide between the crib bars or be stuck in them. They could also be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cots uk cribs for babies are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to be durable and convertible, so they can grow along with your child.

It's crucial to choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Used cribs can be weakened in the course of time due to the effects of humidity, age and heavy use. This can pose serious risks to your baby.

The slats of your crib should be spaced no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent children from being wedged between them and the hardware on the crib should be secured. It's also a good idea to check the mattress support rims and slats for broken or loose parts.

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety may have been compromised. Do not purchase or purchase a crib with a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

While all cribs must meet strict safety standards, there are numerous design variations. Some of the differences are aesthetic, such as whether the slats are all the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others could make it difficult to clean and use the crib. Certain features such as drop sides and finials aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like the adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be a place where babies can sleep. It's also an excellent idea to include a crib on your registry to ensure that family and friends can help you purchase one when the time arrives.

Cribs are available in many different styles, but we prefer ones that blend design and function. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks gorgeous. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified and we believe that is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be transformed into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs feature more traditional designs like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stylish choice that will fit into large nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. Moreover, it only has three mattress height levels, which is less than half the alternatives, and it's not as durable as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern look. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and allow you to observe baby which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for many new parents. It can also be raised to a higher level to help reduce colic and reflux and colic, making it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It's also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a matching mattress. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than the other top options, and it requires a separate conversion kit for toddler cot beds for sale.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is important that your baby's crib mattress is of the correct height. This ensures that your child isn't able to climb out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from suffocation or overheating.

A good crib will have slats or railings that are adjustable that let you raise or lower the mattress as your baby grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit so you can convert the crib into a toddler Cot Bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's also a good idea to select the crib that has been certified and tested by a third-party organisation. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification that means it has been tested to make sure there aren't any chemicals or finishes in the baby's sleeping space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib has a simple design and no complicated parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs. The crib's sides are shorter than other models. However, one parent tester reported that her child slept well and the crib was still in good shape when she gave it to a relative for her second child.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which has a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary style. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs, but its quality and features make up for it. It can be easily transformed into a toddler bed or bassinet, and it has wheels to make it simple to move. It also has a canopy that can be used to create an atmosphere that resembles a womb for your baby. This adds a stylish touch in any nursery.

The only drawback to this crib is it doesn't have a mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child from infant to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Parts

The safest cribs do not have chewable or hanging components. Babies love to grab things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging over or above their crib it could snag against the rails or create an injury to strangulation. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative items, they must make sure the items are secured tightly and not in reach of Baby.

In addition to the safety features of our best cots cribs for babies, we take into consideration how easy it is to assemble. Ideally, the crib should be easy enough that you can build it yourself and doesn't require special tools or a long time to assemble. The majority of parents say it takes less than one hour to put together a modern crib, and the instructions are generally easy to follow.

A crib will be an important purchase for many new parents, so it's crucial to find one that will last for a long time to come. To ensure longevity, you should choose a convertible crib that can be used from the time of infancy all the way up to an adult bed and then a larger bed.

Our favorite 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib which can replace a bassinet for those early months, and then be converted to a toddler bed, daybed, or a full-size Cot Bed. It's designed to last and is available in many colors so you can match it to your nursery's theme.

Another great option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This stunning, minimalist-style crib has a slim profile that allows parents with small hands to touch their child and comfort their child. It also has a stellar reputation for quality and is available in white, cherry and espresso colors as well as natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified for finish quality and environmental safety, and it's constructed from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of toxins such as lead and phthalates (BPA). It also surpasses all safety standards set by the government, such as ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that's missing is a toddler rail that you can purchase separately. This is a great choice for those looking for an inexpensive, high-quality crib that will last.
