How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an crucial piece for your baby cot online's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the right crib, with numerous styles and safety concerns.

Find cribs that meet the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress heights and a sleek, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib, make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm in the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches shouldn't be allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items could easily fall into or be trapped between your baby and the crib bars or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cots uk cribs for babies are made of materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also adhere to strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They're also designed to be tough and reversible, which means they can grow along with your child.

It's important that you choose a crib that meets current safety standards, whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Secondhand cribs can have their structural integrity weakened due to aging, humidity and heavy use, posing grave dangers to your child.

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

Style

Although all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, there are a lot of design differences. Some are just aesthetic, such as if the slats are identical in length or are spaced closer together, while others have a real impact on the ease of the crib to maintain and use. Certain features, like finials and drop sides are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are coveted by a lot of parents.

Cribs are available in many different styles, but we prefer ones that blend fashion and functionality. For example, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and looks sharp. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified which we believe is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be turned into a daybed and toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Other cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a classy crib that fits well into large nurseries, but it takes up more floor space than the smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some might find distracting. It has only three levels of mattress, which is half the number offered by competitors. It's not as sturdy as our other picks.
