How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable crib can be overwhelming especially when you consider the many various styles and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the most stringent safety standards, including no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a stylish crib with a range of mattress heights as well as an elegant, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib, be sure to adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm in the nursery of your baby. This includes pillows, blankets and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls, and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items can easily slide between the crib bars or be stuck within them. They may also get taken up by the mattress.

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

It's important that you choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, regardless of whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Used cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to humidity, age and frequent use, posing serious risks to your infant.

The crib's slats should be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware on the crib must be secured. It's an excellent idea to examine the slats and cribs mattress support rims for any broken or loose components.

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

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, you'll find many design differences. Some of the differences are cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced further apart, while others could affect how easy it is to clean and use the crib. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides, aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are desirable for many parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's designed to be a place where babies can sleep. It's also a good idea to put the crib on your list so that your family and friends can pitch in to help you get one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in a variety of shapes and sizes However, the ones we like best combine style and functionality. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and looks sharp. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is essential for any product that is non-toxic. It can be converted into a toddler and daybed with a separate conversion kit.

Other cribs have more traditional designs like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stylish choice that can be incorporated into larger nurseries. However, it takes up more space than smaller, minimalist alternatives. It only has three mattress levels which is less than the number offered by competitors. It's not as sturdy as our other picks.

Another option with contemporary design is the Babyletto Hudson. The Babyletto Hudson's all-round mesh and hidden hardware enhance the flow of air, and Dr. Casares believes that this is an attribute that many new parents will appreciate. It can be raised higher to relieve reflux and colic. This is suitable for babies aged 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD certified GOLD and comes with a complimentary mattress. It's important to note, however it's more expensive than our other top selections and requires a toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is crucial that the crib mattress of your baby 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 can also help to keep your child safe from overheating or becoming suffocated.

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 so you can transform the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed once your little one outgrows it. It is an excellent idea for you to choose a crib that has been certified and tested by a third-party organization. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to ensure there are minimal chemicals or finishes present in your baby's sleep space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib one of the best-rated cribs available and it's easy to put together and has a simple layout that doesn't contain any complicated pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are smaller than other models. However, one parent tester said that her child was sleeping well and the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a friend as her second baby.

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 costly than the majority of cribs, but it's sturdy and comes with many features that make up the cost. It can, for instance, be transformed into a bassinet, or a toddler bed, and it has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be used to create a more womb-like environment for your baby. It also adds an elegant look to any nursery.

The crib doesn't come with mattress. You'll have to purchase a mattress separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that can grow with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Parts

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grab objects, and if something is hanging from their crib or above them it could pull off the rails or become an injury to strangulation. If parents decorate their crib with toys or other items, they must ensure that the items are secured tightly and aren't within reach of Baby beds.

We also examine how it is easy to put together our top rated cots cribs for infants. Ideally, the crib should be easy enough to make it yourself, and doesn't require any special tools or a long time to assemble. Many parents report that it takes less than an hour to assemble an modern crib, and the instructions are generally easy to follow.

It is essential to select the right crib that will last for many years. For longevity, opt for an adjustable crib that will work from infancy all the way to the toddler bed, cots and tots then a larger bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet during the early years and later converted into an infant bed, a daybed, or a larger bed. It's made for long-term use and comes in a variety of colors, making it easy to match with your nursery's theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another excellent option. This gorgeous, minimalist-style crib is low-profile so that petite parents can reach their child to comfort them. It is well-known for its quality, and is available in cherry, white and espresso colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means that it is constructed from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also surpasses all safety standards of the government, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing missing is the toddler rail. It is available separately. This is a great option for those who are looking for an inexpensive, high-quality crib that will last for a long time.
