How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is a very crucial piece for the nursery of your baby. But picking out a good crib can be a daunting task especially when you consider the many various styles and security concerns.

Look for a crib that meets the highest safety standards and includes no dangling or chewable components. We recommend a crib with a wide selection of mattress heights and a sleek design that is in line with your style.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib, make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out 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. Your baby should also not sleep with any teddy bears dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. These items could easily get caught between the crib bars or be trapped in them. They could also be taken in by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal laws, local and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or Good Cribs ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They're also designed to be durable and adaptable, so they can adapt to your child's needs.

Whether you're buying new or used, it's crucial to select a crib that meets the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to humidity, age and prolonged use, which can pose serious dangers to your baby.

The slats on your crib should be no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware on the crib must be secured. Check the slats, mattress support rims and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It's best to avoid cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, as their security could be at risk. Don't buy or accept a secondhand crib that has the drop side rail which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for reasons of safety.

Style

While all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some differences are purely cosmetic, like whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further apart, while others could affect how easy it is to clean and use the crib. Some features like drop sides and finials are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.

One thing to keep in mind is that a crib should be used only for infant sleep It's not a place to store toys or clothes. It's also a good idea to put a crib on your registry so that friends and family can help you purchase one when the time arrives.

Cribs are available in a variety of different styles, but we prefer those that combine style with functionality. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimal and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is a must for any toxic-free product. It can be transformed to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Other cribs have a more traditional look, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It is a stylish option that can be incorporated into larger nursery. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller minimalist options. It only has three levels of mattress, which is half the competition's number. It's also not as durable as our other picks.

Another option with contemporary design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and make it easier to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for a lot of new parents. It can be raised to relieve reflux and colic. This makes it suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and includes an extra mattress that can be used as a substitute. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than the other top choices, and it requires an additional conversion kit for toddler cot beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that your baby's crib mattress is at the correct height. This will prevent your child from climbing out of the crib, which can be fatal or dangerous. A mattress that is higher will also protect your baby from overheating or suffocation.

A quality crib should have slats or railings that are adjustable that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your infant grows. The majority of cribs include a conversion kit so you can turn the crib into a toddler bed or daybed after your baby outgrows it. It is recommended for you to choose the crib that is tested and certified by a third-party organisation. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications ensure that the crib of your baby is free of any chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has a simple design and no complicated parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are smaller than other cribs, but one parent tester stated that her Baby cots on sale did well sleeping in it, and was in good shape when she passed it on to a friend after 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 look. It is a little more expensive than other cribs but its durability and features are worth it. For example, it can be converted into a bassinet or toddler bed. It also is able to be moved on wheels, making it easy to move from room to room. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create an environment that resembles a womb for your baby. This is a chic touch in any nursery.

This crib does not come with a mattress. You'll have to purchase a mattress separately. But it's a safe and comfortable crib that will be adapted to your child's needs from a newborn to a toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The safest cribs do not have chewable or hanging components. If something is hanging above or below their crib, this could cause the rails to pull or pose a strangulation risk. Babies are extremely grabbing. If parents decorate their crib with toys or decorative items, they must ensure that the items are secured tightly and not in reach of Baby.

We also look at how easy it is to put together our top infant cribs. The crib should be easy enough to put together yourself without the need for special tools or spending a large amount of time. Most parents report that it takes less than an hour to assemble a modern crib, and the directions are generally easy to follow.

It's important that you choose a crib that will last many years. Choose a crib that can be transformed from a crib into an adult bed, and later a full-size mattress.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet for the early months and then transformed into a toddler bed, a daybed or a larger bed. It's built to last and comes in many colors so you can match it to your nursery's design theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another excellent option. This gorgeous, minimal-style crib has a slim profile that makes it easier for parents who are small to touch their child and comfort them. It also has a good reputation for quality and is available in white, cherry espresso, natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means that it is constructed from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free from toxins such as lead and phthalates.
