How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely important piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to select the ideal crib, due to numerous styles and safety concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, with no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a sleek crib with a variety of mattress sizes and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your Baby Crib's crib make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm to your Baby Crib's nursery. 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 larger than 15 inches. These items can easily get caught between the crib bars or be stuck in them. They may also get swallowed by the mattress.

The most suitable cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. Additionally, they're third-party tested for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certifications!). They're also designed to be sustainable and adaptable, so they can grow with your child.

It is essential to select cribs that meet current safety standards, no matter if you're purchasing a new or used crib. Used recommended cribs may lose their structural integrity due to humidity, age and heavy use, posing serious dangers to your baby.

The slats on your crib should be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep babies from getting trapped between them, and the hardware on the crib should be secured. Examine the slats, mattress support rims and the hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It's best to avoid cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, as their security could be at risk. Don't purchase or buy the crib that has drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are many different designs of cribs, despite the fact that they all have to meet safety standards. Some of the differences are cosmetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others could affect how easy it is to use and clean the crib. Some features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided and others, like adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters highly sought-after by many parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib is meant solely for sleep for infants It's not a place to store clothes or toys. It's also an excellent idea to include the crib on your list to ensure that family and friends can pitch in to help you get one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in many different styles We prefer those that combine design and function. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks great. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which is a must-have for any product that is free of toxics and it's able to convert into a toddler bed and daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).

Some cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a chic option that can be incorporated into larger nursery. However, it takes more space than smaller minimalist options. It only has three mattress levels which is a fraction of the number offered by competitors. It's also not as sturdy 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 feature for a lot of new parents. It can be raised to alleviate colic and reflux. This makes it suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a mattress that is also a match. It's important to note, however it's more expensive than our other top choices and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

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

A quality crib will have adjustable slats or railings to allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your infant grows. A conversion kit is provided with the majority of cribs so that you can convert it into a daybed or toddler bed once your child outgrows the crib. It's also a good idea to choose a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organisation to ensure safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to ensure there aren't any chemical or other finishes in the crib where your Baby beds sleeps.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib features a simple design and no confusing parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are smaller than the other models. However, one tester said that her child was sleeping well and the crib was still in good shape when she gave it to a friend as her second baby.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic alternative. It has an oval shape, which gives it a contemporary look. It's a bit more expensive than the majority of cribs, but it is durable and has many options to make up the cost. 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 an environment that resembles a womb for your baby. This is a chic design to any nursery.

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

No Chewable or Dangling Parts

The safest cribs are those that are free of chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grasp objects, and if something is hanging from or above their crib, it could tug off the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If a parent decides to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they must make sure that the items are securely attached and out of baby's reach.

We also examine how easy it is to put together our top cribs for infants. The crib should be simple enough to assemble yourself, without the need for special tools or spending a large amount of time. The majority of parents say it takes less than one hour to assemble an modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

It's important that you choose a crib that will last many years. To ensure longevity, you should choose a convertible crib that will work from infancy all the way up to a toddler bed and finally a full-size bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet in the beginning, and later transformed into a toddler bed, a daybed or a large bed. It's built to last and comes in many colors so you can match it with your nursery's theme.

Another excellent choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This stunning, minimalist-style crib has a low profile that makes it easier for petite parents to reach their child and soothe them. It is well-known for quality, and comes in white, cherry and espresso colors.
