Choosing the best crib for newborn Crib Newborn

The Westport cot beds Bed is a minimalist crib that will look stunning in a Scandi-design nursery. It is also very flexible, as it has three different mattress support heights. It also can be converted into the bed of a toddler.

Cribs can take up a lot room, so bassinets might be a better option in case your home is small. However, many parents choose a crib for security reasons.

Safety

The choice of the best crib for newborns is crucial to your baby's health and well-being. It is important to ensure that the crib conforms to current safety standards and is free from hazards that may cause harm to your child as they sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, without loose parts that could catch on clothing or create a choking hazard. It is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use, and to inspect the crib on a regular basis.

Check the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to prevent your baby from being able to get their head or limbs trapped between them. You must also be able to easily reach and see your baby in the crib. If you aren't, the slats are too close together and need to be a bit wider.

The mattress support system is a different aspect to think about when choosing a crib. It must be adjustable to various heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will help to reduce the possibility of your baby leaving the crib, which is a common situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is secure enough to fit over the bed and a solid and stable structure are other security features you should be looking for. It is also recommended to choose a crib that has fixed sides, rather than ones with drop sides, which can be hazardous for your baby. It is also advisable to sleep in the same room with your baby for six months or so, and only move them to their own bedroom once they are old enough to be supervised when they are sleeping on their own.

Last but not least, make sure the crib is removed from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are not in reach. It is also recommended to remove any items that could be the risk of choking like blankets or pillows. Be cautious when buying second-hand cribs since they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalls.

Design

While cribs beds might appear similar, it's important to keep in mind that all must adhere to strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we looked at were designed in a similar way to ensure structural stability. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could entangle or snag the baby. We also tested and rated each crib for how easy it was to use and to assemble. More parts can mean more confusion, so we suggest choosing a crib that comes with clear instructions that are easy to follow to minimize frustration.

One of our favorites is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which is designed with an elegant, modern design and comes in a variety of color options, including some two-toned. It also has a universal mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is another alternative. The crib is sleek and modern, with minimal details that make it ideal for modern nurseries. The crib comes in different designs and four mattress heights so that your baby can use it as a newborn or toddler. The crib was extremely solid and stable. It did not move or squeak when a big child was seated.

If you're planning on having more children, you might want to consider a convertible crib. Many of these options transform into a toddler bed, and then a full-size bed, giving you a long-lasting investment for the money. The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is an example of a convertible crib that received excellent marks from our test parents. The side rails that slide down were praised by many parents for making feeding their children at night safer and easier. They also stated that the crib had enough space for their baby to rest comfortably while mom and dad lay down.

If you are looking for a classic style, the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1 crib is a good option. This crib is less expensive than the Stork Craft and has an elegant style that is perfect for every nursery. It has three different mattress heights, but it could be a bit shallow for some toddlers and petite parents.

Mattress

Babies are messy and a clean crib mattress is an essential. Diaper leaks and baby spit-up can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty and result in mildew or bacteria that could affect infants. Choose a mattress that is easy to clean with a mild cleaner or a cloth. Also, choose a waterproof cover to stop fluids from entering the mattress.

Look for a mattress that is rated to last up to 10 years, which means it will be ready for toddlers and beyond. Many of the products discussed here are reversible with a toddler and infant side. This lets you use them from the moment of birth until your child is old enough to be their own bed.

A firm crib mattress is best for infants, because it will provide the most support to their growing spines. A mattress that is firm and sturdy will also lower the chance of SIDS. This is because an extremely soft mattress increases the chance that a baby's head will sink into it.

When looking for a mattress that is firm for your crib be sure to examine the label to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC demands that mattresses be tested for the ability to withstand fire and water as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a risk for infants. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US, which are a good sign that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could harm infants their nervous and respiratory systems.

The weight of the mattress is another thing to consider. If you're unable to lift heavy objects, or you don't wish to move a heavy object then you might want a lighter mattress. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, which makes it the heaviest in this review. It is also constructed of foam, not woven-core inners. This makes it more comfortable to move around as compared to a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

New parents will appreciate a crib that is easy to put together. You should choose the crib that has hardware that is securely secured and with no sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby. Also, stay clear of cribs that have drop-sides or headboard/footboard cutouts These features aren't in line with current safety standards.

When you're searching for a crib, keep in mind that you'll likely need to buy a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you decide to purchase a convertible crib). The majority of manufacturers offer these kits separately. They're usually affordable, and will aid your child's transition to a larger bed more smoothly.

Many new parents appreciate the longevity that can be found in the convertible crib and they're a great investment for families with multiple children. They are designed to last, and generally can be transformed into a toddler Cot Bed, daybed, or full-size bed.

The DaVinci Jaden 4-in-1 crib is a solid-wood crib that's GREENGUARD Gold-certified and comes with four mattress heights.

The crib has locking wheels so you can easily move it from room to room and fits most standard twin mattresses.

A runner-up in our tests the Oeuf Modern Crib is built using sustainably harvested New Zealand pine. It has won several awards from different parenting publications, including BabyCenter and Babble. It has a medium-height design, and it converts from an infant crib to an adult bed with rail or a daybed without the rail. It's easy to assemble and has lots of aesthetic appeal, but the thin finish is susceptible to scratches when used regularly.
