How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable crib can be a daunting task particularly with the number of different designs and safety concerns.

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

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your baby's crib. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm in your baby's nursery. This includes pillows, blankets and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. They could fall between your baby's crib bars or get stuck in them. They could also be swallowed by the mattress.

The best infant cribs are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for safety and quality (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certifications!). They're also designed to be durable and convertible, meaning they'll grow with your child.

It is essential to select a crib which meets the current safety standards, regardless of whether you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Used cribs can lose structural integrity over time due to the effects of humidity, age and use. This could create serious risks for your baby.

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

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety could have been compromised. Don't buy or accept cribs with drop-side rails. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

While all cribs have to meet strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some are just cosmetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further apart, while others can impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Certain features, such as drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should be avoided, while others--like adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

A crib isn't designed 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 registry to ensure that family and friends can pitch in to help you purchase one when the time arrives.

Cribs are available in many different styles However, we prefer ones that blend style with functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks stunning. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified which we believe is a must for any toxic-free product. It can be converted into a daybed and toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Other cribs have a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a chic option that can be incorporated into larger nursery. However, it takes up more floor space compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. Furthermore, it only has three levels of mattress height, which is less than half of the other options and isn't as durable as our other picks.

Another option with modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh improve airflow and allow you to observe baby which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be elevated to a higher position to alleviate reflux and colic, making it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a complimentary mattress that is also a match. It's important to remember that this Cot Bed is more expensive than other top choices, and it requires a separate conversion kit for toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby sleeps in their crib, it's vital that the mattress is at the correct height. This will ensure that your child doesn't fall out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can also help keep your child from overheating or suffocating.

A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise or lower it as your baby grows. The majority of cribs include a conversion kit that allows you can turn the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed once your little one outgrows it. Finally, it's a good idea to choose a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organization for safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to ensure that there are no harmful chemicals or finishes in the baby's sleeping space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib one of the top-rated cribs available, and it's easy to put together and features a simple layout that doesn't contain any jarring pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are shorter than other cribs however, one user said that her child was comfortable in it and remained in good shape when she passed it on to a friend after her second child was born.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic alternative. It features an oval shape that creates a modern appearance. It's a bit more costly than other cribs, however it's sturdy and comes with a number of features to make up for the price. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or a toddler bed, and it comes with wheels that make it easy to move from room to room. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create an atmosphere more like a womb for your baby. This adds a stylish touch in any nursery.

The only downside to this crib is that it doesn't include a mattress, which you'll need to purchase separately. But it's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies like to grab objects, and if something is hanging from or above their crib it could tug on the rails or become an injury to strangulation. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or decorative items, they must make sure the items are secured tightly and aren't within reach of Baby.

In addition to the security features of our top infant cribs, we also take into consideration how easy it is to put together. The crib should be simple enough to put together yourself without requiring special tools or a large amount of time. Most parents report that it takes less than one hour to put together a modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

It is crucial to choose the right crib that will last for many years. To ensure longevity, you should choose a convertible crib that will start at the beginning of your child's life all the way to a toddler bed and finally a larger bed.

Our top rated cots choice for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib, that can be used to replace the bassinet in the early months, and then be converted to a toddler bed daybed, or a full-size Mini Cot Bed. It's built to last and is available in many colors so you can match it with your nursery's design theme.

Another excellent choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This gorgeous, minimal-style crib has a slim profile that makes it easier for petite parents to touch their child and comfort them.

This is a great choice for those looking for a high-quality affordable crib that will last for a long time.
