How to Choose the best infant cribs - berthelsen-johansen.federatedjournals.com -

The crib is an important piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the ideal crib, due to numerous styles and safety concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a crib with a broad choice of mattress heights and a modern design that matches your style.

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your crib for your child. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm in your baby cot online's nursery. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches. These items could easily fall into or become caught between your baby and the crib bars, or they could be engulfed by the mattress.

The best baby cots cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also adhere to strict federal laws, local and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They're also designed to be durable and reversible, which means they'll continue to grow with your child.

No matter if you're buying new or used, it's crucial to choose a crib that is in line with the current stringent safety standards. Used cribs may lose their structural integrity due to age, humidity and frequent use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The slats of your crib should not be more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib should be secure. Check the slats and mattress support rims, and hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It's also wise to stay clear of cribs that have been used by other children or pets, as their safety could be compromised. Don't purchase or buy cribs with drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are many variations in the design of cribs, despite the fact that all have to meet safety standards. Some are just cosmetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further than others, and some can impact the ease to use and clean the crib. Certain features, such as drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should be avoided and others, like adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

One thing to be aware of is that the crib should be used solely for sleep for infants and is not an area to store toys or clothing. You can also put a crib in your registry to get help from family and friends when you need one.

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

Other cribs are more traditional, like the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stately choice that can be incorporated into large nurseries, but it takes up more space than smaller minimalist options and Baby Cot has exposed hardware that some might find distracting. It has only three mattress levels which is less than the number of competitors. It's also not as sturdy as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a modern design. The Babyletto Hudson's all-round mesh and hidden hardware help to improve airflow, and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that a lot of new parents will appreciate. It can also be elevated to a higher level to alleviate reflux and colic which makes it suitable for babies ranging from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's worth noting, though it's more costly than our other top choices and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is important that the mattress on your baby's crib is at the correct height. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which could be dangerous or fatal. A higher mattress can also protect your baby from overheating or suffocation.

A quality crib should include slats that can be adjusted or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your infant grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit that allows you can turn the crib into the toddler bed or daybed after your Baby Cot outgrows it. It is recommended for you to choose a crib which is tested and certified by a third-party organisation. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification that means it has been tested to ensure there are no harmful chemicals or finishes present in the crib where your baby sleeps.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has an easy design and has no complicated parts. It is among the top cribs. The crib's sides are shorter than other models. However, one parent tester said that her child was sleeping well and the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a friend for her second baby.

Another great option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which features a unique oval shape that gives it a contemporary appearance. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs, but its quality and features make up for it. It can, for instance, be transformed into a bassinet, or a toddler bed, and it has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be used to create a like a womb for your baby and adds an elegant look to any nursery.

The only drawback to this crib is that it doesn't include mattress, which you'll need to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that will expand with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The most secure cribs have no dangling or chewable components. If something is hanging above or below their crib, it could cause the rails to be pulled or pose a strangulation risk. Babies are extremely grabbing. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative items, they must make sure they secure the items and aren't within reach of Baby.

In addition to the security features of our best cribs for babies, we take into consideration how easy it is to assemble. Ideally, the crib should be simple enough to be able to make it yourself, and doesn't require any special tools or extensive assembly time. The majority of parents say that assembling a modern crib takes less than an hour, and the instructions included are usually clear and easy to follow.

It is essential to select a crib that will last many years. Select a crib that is able to be transformed from a crib into an infant's bed, and then a full-size mattress.

Our favorite 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib, that can be used to replace an infant bassinet during the first months, and then be converted into a toddler bed, daybed, or a full-size bed. It's designed for the long haul and comes in a range of colors which makes it easy to match with your nursery's theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another fantastic option. This gorgeous, minimal-style crib has a slim profile that makes it easier for petite parents to reach their child and soothe their child. It also has a good reputation for quality and is available in cherry, white espresso, natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it is made of sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also far exceeds safety standards of the government, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that is missing is a toddler rail which you can purchase separately. This is a great option for those who are looking for a high-quality, affordable crib that will last.
