How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an important piece for your baby's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the ideal crib, due to so many designs and safety concerns.

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

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib, be sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects 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. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches are not allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items can easily fall between your baby's crib bars or get stuck in them. They could also be taken up by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to last and convertible, meaning they can grow along with your child.

It's important that you choose a crib that meets current safety standards, regardless of whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Used cribs can be weakened in the course of time due to humidity, age and heavy use. This can pose serious risks to your baby.

The crib's slats should be spaced no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep children from being wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib must be secured. It's an excellent idea to examine the slats and mattress support rims for any broken or loose parts.

It's also wise to stay clear of cribs that have been used by children or pets, as their security might be compromised. Don't purchase or buy cribs with drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

While all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some differences are purely cosmetic, like the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others can make it difficult to clean and use the crib. Certain features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.

A crib is not meant to be used for toys or clothes. It's intended to be a place for babies to sleep. You can also put a crib in your registry to seek assistance from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in many different styles We prefer ones that blend style with functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks great. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is essential for any product that is non-toxic. It can be turned into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Other cribs have a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stately choice that can be incorporated into large nurseries, but it takes up more space than smaller, minimalist alternatives and comes with exposed hardware that some may find distracting. Moreover, it only has three mattress height levels which is less than half the other options and it's not as sturdy as our other options.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern aesthetic. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh improve airflow and allow you to see baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can be raised higher to alleviate colic and reflux. This is suitable for babies between 6 months and the birth. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a complimentary mattress that is also a match. It's important to note, however, that it's more expensive than our other top selections and requires a toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby sleeps in their crib, it's important that the mattress is at the correct height. This will ensure that your child can't climb out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A higher mattress can also safeguard your child from overheating or suffocation.

A quality crib will have adjustable slats or railings to allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your infant grows. The majority of cribs include a conversion kit so you can turn the crib into a toddler Cot Bed or daybed when your child is no longer using it. It is recommended for you to choose a crib which 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 not contaminated of finishes or chemicals.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib is one of the most highly-rated cribs available, and it's simple to put together and has a simple design that doesn't have any jarring pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are shorter than those of other cribs. However, one test subject said that their child slept well and the crib was in good shape when she gave it to a friend as her second child.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which has a unique oval shape that gives it a modern look. It's a bit more costly than the majority of cribs, but it's durable and comes with many features that make up the cost. For example, it can be converted into a bassinet or toddler bed. It also is able to be moved on wheels, making it easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be utilized to create a like a womb for your baby. It's also an elegant look to any nursery.

This crib is not equipped with mattress. You'll need to purchase a mattress separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that will expand with your child as they go from newborn to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Parts

The most secure cribs do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grasp things, tots and cots if a piece of furniture is hanging from or above their crib it could pull off the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or other decorative items, they must ensure that the items are securely secured and aren't in the reach of Baby.

We also look at how it is easy to build our top cribs for infants. The ideal crib will be easy enough to be able to do it yourself, and doesn't require any special tools or long assembly time. The majority of parents say that assembling a modern crib takes less than a half hour, and the instructions included are usually simple and easy to follow.

A crib is the most expensive purchase for new parents, and it's crucial to find one that will last for a long time to be. Pick a crib that can be transformed from a crib to an infant's bed, and later a full-size mattress.

Our top pick for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib which can replace the bassinet in the early months, and then be converted into a toddler bed, daybed, or a full-size bed. It's designed to last for a long time and is available in a variety of colors, making it easy to match your nursery's theme.

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

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