Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport cheap cot bed Bed is a minimalist crib that can look amazing in a modern Scandi nursery. It also offers a great variety of versatility with three mattress support levels and the capability to convert into the bed of a toddler.

Cribs can take up a lot room, so bassinets might be a better option for homes with small spaces. Many parents choose a crib because of safety concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and well-being. You should ensure that it meets the current safety standards and is free of any dangers that could cause harm to your baby while they sleep. It should be constructed well and strong, with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's directions for assembly and use and to regularly check the crib for signs of wear or Baby Cot damage.

Check the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to avoid your baby being able to get their head or limbs trapped between them. You must also be able to easily see and reach your baby in the crib. If not, the slats should be wider and not so close to each other.

Another aspect of the crib that you should be aware of is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable, so that you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the possibility of your baby leaving the crib which is a frequent situation as they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to look for include the fitted sheet that is able to fit the mattress with ease as well as solid and stable construction. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. You should also be in the same room as your baby until they are old enough to be able to go off on their own.

Not least, ensure that the crib is placed away from radiators and windows, and that dangling items like blind cords or curtains are not in reach. You should also remove items that might pose danger to your child's health, such as blankets or pillows. You should also be wary of buying second-hand cribs, because they may not meet current safety standards or have been recalled due to other reasons.

Design

It is crucial to remember that cribs may look identical, but they must adhere to strict safety standards. For this reason, most of the cribs we reviewed have a similar layout to ensure consistency in terms of structural solidity. Most cribs feature circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could entangle the baby or squeeze them. We also tested and rated each crib for how easily it was to use and to assemble. More components can cause confusion, so we suggest selecting a crib with clear instructions that are easy to follow to avoid frustration.

One of our favorites is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which is designed with an elegant, contemporary style and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned. It also has an all-purpose mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having the lowest amount of volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. The crib is sleek and modern with minimal details, making it ideal for modern nurseries. The crib is available in various finishes and comes with four different mattress sizes, so your baby can use it from newborn to toddler. We tested this crib and found it to be solid and stable, with no creaking or flexing when a toddler was seated inside.

If you're planning to have more children, you may want to consider a convertible crib. Many of these options transform into a toddler bed, and later a full-size bed giving you a long-lasting investment for the money you spend. The Sweet2Sleep Crib is an example of a convertible crib that received praise from our parents who tested it. Several of them commented that the side rails that drop down made feeding their baby at night easier and safer and that the crib was roomy enough for the co-sleeping baby to be at ease while dad and mom were sleeping.

If you prefer a traditional style, the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1 is a solid option. This crib is cheaper than the Stork Craft and features a classic style that is perfect for any nursery. It has three different mattress heights, but some parents and toddlers might feel it is a bit low.

Mattress

A washable crib mattress will be useful for infants. Diaper leaks, baby spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and filthy which can lead to mildew and bacteria that may affect infants. Find a mattress cover that can be cleaned with cloths or cleaned with mild cleaner. Also, choose a waterproof mattress cover to prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress and causing health problems.

Choose a mattress that has been that is rated up to 10 years, so it is suitable for toddlers. Many of the products reviewed here are reversible, with infant and toddler side. This allows you to use them from birth up until your child is ready for their own bed.

A firm crib mattress is the best cot beds choice for infants because it provides the most support to their growing spines. A super-firm sleep surface also reduces the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to happen when a child's head is lowered into a soft mattress.

Examine the label of a firm mattress to ensure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for the ability to withstand fire and water as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a threat for infants. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that could cause harm to infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

The weight of the mattress is a further factor to take into consideration. Sheet changes at night require that you move and lift the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want to take on a heavy product then consider getting a lighter crib mattress. For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, making it the largest in this review. It's also made of foam rather than inners with woven-core that makes it much easier to move around in comparison to the heavier coil mattress.

Assembly

New parents will appreciate a crib that's easy to build. Find one equipped with hardware that is securely held and has no sharp edges or rough spots that could irritate your baby's skin. Avoid cribs that have drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts. These features aren't up to today's safety standards.

When you're searching for a crib, bear in mind that you'll likely require a toddler bed conversion kit (if you opt for a convertible crib). These kits are offered separately by the majority of manufacturers. These kits are typically inexpensive and will aid your child in making the transition from a smaller cheap cot bed more easily.

Many new parents appreciate the longevity that comes with convertible cribs and are a great investment for families with multiple children. They've been made to last and can be transformed into daybeds, toddler beds, or full-size beds.

The DaVinci Jaden 4-in-1 crib a solid-wood crib that is GREENGUARD Gold certified and has four mattress heights. It's traditional in design and is available in white or slate grey to match every nursery decor. The crib is simple to move around and comes with locking wheels. It is suitable for most twin beds. The crib took our test subjects just 23 minutes to put together.

Another crib that is highly rated is the Sprout Crib is made with a sustainably harvested Baltic birch, and it meets all U.S., Canadian, Australian and European safety standards. It has a minimalist and stylish design that will go with any bedroom decor. The Sprout is among the tiniest cribs we've tested, weighing just 6kg, making it easy to move around and has an ideal travel bag.

A runner-up in our tests The Oeuf Modern Crib is built from sustainably sourced New Zealand pine. It has been awarded numerous awards from different parenting publications, including BabyCenter and Babble. It has a medium height profile and can be transformed from an infant crib to a toddler bed, with or without rail. It's simple to put together and has plenty of aesthetic appeal, but the thin finish is susceptible to scratches in normal use.
