How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely crucial piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with numerous styles and safety concerns.

Find cribs that meet the highest safety standards and includes no dangling or chewable components. We also recommend a sleek crib with a range of mattress heights and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your child's crib. It is essential to stay clear of putting anything in your Baby beds's crib that could potentially cause injury or harm, including pillows, blankets, sheepskins, stuffed toys, and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Teddy bears, dolls, and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. They could easily fall into or become caught between your baby and the crib bars or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal laws, state and local requirements for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They're designed to last and are adaptable, so they can adapt to your child's needs.

It's important that you choose a crib that meets current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Used cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose grave dangers to your child.

The slats of your crib should not be more than 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware must be secure. Examine the slats, mattress support rims, and hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, since their safety could be at risk. Don't buy or accept an older crib that has a drop side rail, which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for reasons of safety.

Style

While all cribs have to comply with strict safety standards, there are a lot of design differences. Some differences are purely cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others could affect how easy it is to use and clean the crib. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides, aren't safe and should be avoided as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's intended to be an area where babies can sleep. You can also include a crib in your registry to get assistance from family and friends when you need one.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the ones we like best baby cots have a mix of style and functionality.

Some cribs sport more traditional designs, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It is a stylish option that will fit into large nurseries. However, it takes more space than smaller minimalist options.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that your baby's crib mattress is at the correct height. This ensures that your child can't climb out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from overheating or suffocation.

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise or lower it as your child grows. A conversion kit is included with most good cribs so that you can convert it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed after your child has outgrown the crib. It's also recommended to select a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organisation for safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification that means it has been tested to ensure that there are minimal chemical or other finishes in your baby's sleep space.

There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. If something is hung over or below the crib, it could cause the rails to be pulled or cause strangulation. Babies can be very grabbing. If a parent decides to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they need to make sure that the items are securely fastened and are not within baby cots online's reach.
