Choosing the Best Crib

Pick a crib you love. It will be part of your nursery for a long time. Avoid cribs that have cutouts and drop-sides as your child could fall in. Instead, opt for a design which can easily be converted into a toddler or daybed.

Safety

We want to give our children the best possible start in life. This starts with a crib that is safe. It's not necessary to have cribs that have many missing or loose pieces and you shouldn't choose one that isn't in line with the current safety standards. If you're buying a brand new crib, be sure to look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure it is in compliance with the most stringent safety standards.

The slats on a crib must be closely spaced so that children cannot catch their heads or fingers within the slats. They shouldn't have any decorative cutouts or other decorations that could cause injuries. The mattress support system, which is crucial to the safety of your crib, should be adjustable to different levels so that it can adapt to the needs of your child.

You'll also want to avoid dangling objects such as blind strings or curtains, as these present a strangulation risk for your infant. It's a good idea to inspect your crib on a regular basis for loose or missing objects, and replace any that are loosened in the course of time.

Some cribs come with an additional side panel that can be lifted however it won't stay in place for long. They are ideal for parents who do not want to share the bed. Just make sure you keep your crib away from radiators and windows.

If you're seeking a crib that is environmentally friendly, consider one made from wood sourced from sustainable forests. It's recommended to select a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed tests for low chemical emissions. If you want to go further, you should look for a crib that is made from sustainable sourced New Zealand Baby Cot pine and is free of lead, the phthalates, BPA, and over 360 other VOCs and chemicals.

Style

No matter if you want to design a classic or minimalist nursery, a chic crib can be a wonderful option. The SnuzPod4 fits well in tiny spaces since it's slim and sleek. It also comes with a lower mattress height setting and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. One of our testers, Mother & Baby Editor Maria Martin, says the crib is "up there with some of the best-looking ones we've seen, even in the midst of grey!"

The classic high-back crib for babies is made from solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety modern colors that match any style. It's heavier than other cribs we've tested, but it's durable enough to last through toddlerhood and beyond. Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some other cribs, and you won't have a view of your little one from all four sides. It also takes up more space in the nursery than our other top cribs.

It's a good choice for small spaces, however its unique design makes it difficult to find bedding and sheets. It's also more bulkier than our other choices and will have to be disassembled in order to fit through doorways that are standard when moving it from room to room.

Standard cribs are typically constructed of wood, such as maple or oak, ash, mahogany, cherry, or birch. They are more durable than other materials, and they resist damage and nicks much better than soft pine. However, be aware of the fact that some manufacturers use pine instead of more durable hardwoods because it's less expensive. This can make a crib susceptible to scratches and dents and could require more frequent cleaning.

A standard crib will include a toddler rail to keep your child from falling out or climbing. However, keep in mind that many toddler-safe cribs will require you to purchase your own separate toddler bed rail for added safety.

Convertibility

When you are deciding on a crib, there are many factors to consider. Think about the size, design, slats and whether it's convertible. It is crucial to choose the crib you love since it will be there for your Baby beds for many years. It is also important to select the crib that fits into your home's decor regardless of whether it's modern or traditional.

A convertible crib is a great option since it grows with your child to a toddler bed and then into a full-size bed. This will save you money in the end because you won't have to buy a mattress for your child.

There are a variety of convertible cribs available However, some stand out better than others. One example is the Graco Benton 5in1 convertible crib. It is GREENGUARD gold certified which means it meets or exceeds the safety standards of the government in terms of construction and finish. It also has three adjustable mattress settings as well as a low-profile that makes it easier to get your child in and out of it. This crib is also relatively easy to build and can be assembled in less than 15 minutes with the use of a cordless drill/driver.

The DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib is another excellent option. This crib is GREENGUARD Certified Gold and a great crib deal. It has a classic design and can be made into an infant bed, daybed or a full-size bed with the purchase of separate conversion kits. This crib is also simple to put together and has a low profile that allows it to be easily reached to and out of for smaller parents.

The last crib on our list, the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is a great option for minimalists who want to keep their nursery designs simple and clean. This elegant crib can be transformed into a full-size toddler bed by purchasing an optional rail and kit. The crib is manufactured in Italy and uses environmentally conscious manufacturing methods. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified tots and cots designed to be used alongside the brand's toxic free mattresses.

Budget

A quality crib should have sturdy construction and straightforward assembly instructions that lead to the installation process being relatively easy. A stylish design that is compatible with your nursery decor is also crucial. Cribs can run the gamut in terms of cost, but there are models that suit every budget.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed, for example, is one of the most flexible options available on the market. It can be used as a bassinet, crib or toddler bed. It also has the ability to rock and roll to gently soothe your Baby beds to sleep or create a gentle incline for reflux babies. The add-on drape rod and canopy envelop your baby in a cozy baby-like womb. It could also serve as a portable play area and provide your child with an incredibly comfortable and secure spot to nap on the go.

The Oeuf Sparrow crib is another alternative that doesn't sacrifice style. It blends a modern style with eco-friendly materials. The solid wood and Baltic plywood crib made of birch is sustainably made in Europe to last for generations (and can be passed down between siblings) and is compliant with all CPSC safety standards, including no cutouts with decorative edges or drop-sides which could catch clothing. It is easy to dress using sheets and is free of sharp edges.

Some parents prefer a simple crib to complement their modern or contemporary home. Others might prefer a more refined design that complements the decor of the room. If you fall in the latter category, consider the Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib. The elegantly designed model can be converted from a bassinet to an infant crib, and then to a full crib, all without adding mattresses or bars, meaning you'll have less mess to clean up.

If you're a parent who's not in the mood for fussiness, choose the less cluttered and more elegant cribs. The Union 3-in-1 crib and the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the parts you need to allow your baby to become an adult, but they have more of a traditional design than some models like the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 or Dream on Me Ashton 5-in-1.
