How to Choose the best crib for newborn Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely important piece for the nursery of your baby. But picking out a good crib can be a daunting task especially when you consider the many different designs and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the highest safety standards, with no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a stylish crib with a variety of mattress heights and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib sets make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm to the nursery cots of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. These items could easily get caught between the crib bars or be trapped in them. They may also get taken up by the mattress.

The best cot bed cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They're also designed to be sustainable and convertible so they can adapt to your child's needs.

It is essential to select a crib which meets the current safety standards, no matter if you're purchasing a new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may be weakened in the course of time due to humidity, age and frequent use. This could cause serious dangers to your baby.

The crib's slats should be spaced no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep children from being wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib must be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims, and hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It's also wise to avoid using cribs that were used by other children and/or pets, as their safety might be at risk. Don't buy or accept cribs with a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

While all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, you'll find numerous design variations. Some are just aesthetic, like whether the slats are all identical in length or are spaced closer apart, while others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Certain features, such as drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters desirable for many parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be an area where babies can sleep. You can also include the crib on your registry to receive help from family and friends when you need one.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the ones we like best are those that combine style and function. For instance the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified which we believe is a must for any toxic-free product. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots in 1. It is a stylish option that can be incorporated into larger nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space compared to smaller minimalist options. It has only three mattress levels, which is half the number offered by competitors. It's also not as durable as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern look. The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware improve airflow, and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that new parents consider important. It can be raised to relieve reflux and colic. This is suitable for babies aged 6 months and the birth. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a mattress that is also a match. It's worth noting, though it's more expensive than our other top picks and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that the crib mattress of your baby is the right height. This ensures that your child doesn't fall out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A higher mattress can also safeguard your child from overheating or suffocation.

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats that permit you to raise or lower it as your baby grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit that allows you can convert the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's also recommended to select a crib that has been tested and approved by a third-party organization for safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee that your baby's crib is free of finishes or chemicals.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the top-rated cribs on the market, and it's easy to assemble, with a straightforward design that doesn't include any jarring pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are smaller than the other models. However, one tester reported that her child was sleeping well and the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a friend for her second child.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which features a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It's a little more expensive than other cribs but its durability and features are worth it. It is able to be transformed into a bassinet or toddler bed, and it has wheels to make it simple to move around. It also has a canopy that can be used to create a womb-like environment for your baby. It also adds a stylish touch to any nursery.

This crib is not equipped with mattress. You'll have to purchase a mattress separately. But it's a safe and comfortable crib that will grow with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The safest cribs are those that have no dangling or chewable components. If something is hung over or below the crib, it could cause the rails to be pulled or cause strangulation. Babies are very grabby. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should ensure that the items are securely secured and not in reach of Baby.

In addition to the safety features of our top cribs for babies, we take into consideration how easy it is to set up. The ideal crib will be easy enough to be able to do it yourself and doesn't require specialized tools or a long time to assemble. The majority of parents say it takes less than one hour to put together an modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

It is crucial to choose the right crib that will last for many years. Pick a crib that can be converted from a crib to a toddler's bed, and then to a full-size mattress.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet in the early years and later converted into a toddler bed, a daybed or a full-size bed. It's designed to last and is available in a variety of colors so that 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 gorgeous, minimalist-style crib is low-profile to ensure that petite parents can reach 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 for finish quality and environmental safety. It's constructed from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of harmful substances such as lead and phthalates (BPA). It also far exceeds government safety standards, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing missing is a toddler rail that you can purchase separately. This is a great choice for those who are looking for an affordable, high-quality crib that will last for a long time.
