How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable one can feel overwhelming, especially with so many various styles and safety concerns.

Find a crib that adheres to the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling parts. We also suggest a chic crib that has a variety of mattress heights and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your crib for your child. It is crucial to not place any items in the crib of your child which could cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows as well as sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more details). Teddy bears, dolls, and stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches are not allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. They could easily fall into or be trapped between your baby and the crib bars, or they could be engulfed by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also meet strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They're also designed to last and reversible, which means they'll grow with your child.

No matter if you're buying new or used, it's essential to select a crib that meets today's rigorous safety standards. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and frequent use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The slats on your crib should not be longer than 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware should be secure. It's an excellent idea to inspect the slats and mattress support rims for any loose or broken components.

It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, as their security could be at risk. Finally, don't purchase or purchase a second-hand crib with an incline side rail, which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for reasons of safety.

Style

While all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, there are numerous design variations. Some are just cosmetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further 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 not be used and others, like adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

One thing to keep in mind is that the crib should be used solely for sleep for infants and is not an area to store clothes or toys. You can also put the crib on your registry to get help from friends and family in the event that you require one.

If parents decorate their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should make sure the items are secured tightly and not in reach of Baby.
