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 styles and safety concerns.

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

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your crib for your child. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches. These items could easily fall into or get trapped between your baby and the crib bars, or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cot newborn cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also adhere to strict federal and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certifications!). And they are designed to be sustainable and flexible, allowing them to grow with your child.

It's crucial to choose cribs that meet current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Used cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and frequent use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The crib's slats 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 secured. It's also a good idea to inspect the slats and mattress support rims for any loose or broken parts.

It's also wise to avoid using cribs that were used by children or pets, as their safety could be compromised. Don't purchase or buy a crib with a drop-side rail. 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, there are numerous design variations. Some are simply aesthetic, such as whether the slats are the same length or placed closer apart, while others have a real impact on how easy the crib is to operate and maintain. Some features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used and others, like adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

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

Cribs come in all shapes and sizes However, the ones we like Best cot for newborn combine style and functionality. For example the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimal and stylish. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, which we consider essential for any toxic-free baby product, and it can convert into a toddler bed and daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).

Other cribs have a more traditional look, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It is a stylish option that will fit into large nurseries. However, it takes more space than smaller minimalist options. It only has three levels of mattress which is less than the competition's number. It's also not as sturdy as our other choices.

Another option that has contemporary design is the Babyletto Hudson. The Babyletto Hudson's all-round mesh and hidden hardware improve airflow and Dr. Casares believes that this is an attribute that a lot of new parents will consider important. It can be raised to alleviate colic and reflux. This is suitable for babies who are 6 months and the birth. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a matching mattress. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than the other top options and requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it is important that the mattress is at the correct level. This ensures that your child can't climb out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A higher mattress also helps protect your baby from overheating or suffocating.

A good crib will include slats that can be adjusted or railings that let you raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. The majority of cribs come with a conversion kit, so you can turn the crib into the toddler bed or daybed when your child is no longer using it. It is also a good idea to pick the crib that has been certified and tested by a third-party organisation. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee that your baby's crib is free of any chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib has simple design and doesn't have confusing parts. It is one of the top-rated cribs. The crib's sides are shorter than those of other cribs. However, one parent test subject said that their child slept well and the crib was still in good condition when she gave it to a friend as her second child.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic alternative. It features an oval shape, which creates a modern appearance. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs, but its durability and features are worth it. It can, for instance, be converted into a bassinet or a toddler bed, and it is able to be moved on wheels, making it easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a more like a womb for your baby. It also adds a stylish touch to any nursery.

This crib does not come with a mattress. You'll have to buy one separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that will expand with your child from infant to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The most secure cribs are free of chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grab things, and if something is hanging from or above their crib, it could pull on the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or decorative items, they must ensure that the items are secured tightly and aren't in the reach of Baby.

We also examine how it is easy to put together our top cribs for infants. The crib should be simple enough to put together yourself without requiring special tools or spending a lot of time. Most parents report that it takes less than one hour to assemble the modern crib, and the instructions are generally easy to follow.

It's important that you choose the right crib that will last for many years. Pick a crib that can be transformed from a crib to an infant's bed, and then a full-size mattress.

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

Another option that is a great choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This beautiful, minimal-style crib is low-profile to ensure that parents with small feet can touch their child to comfort them. It also has a great reputation for quality and is available in white, cherry, espresso, and natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it is made of sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also far exceeds government safety standards, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that's missing is a toddler rail, which you can purchase separately. This is a good option for those looking for an affordable, high-quality crib that will last.
