Choosing the Best Crib

Pick a crib you like. It will be part of your nursery for many years. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your child could get into, and choose an option that is able to be converted into a toddler bed or daybed.

Safety

We want to give our children the best crib start in life. This starts with a crib that's safe. You don't want an old crib that could contain a number of loose or broken parts, and you don't want one that isn't in compliance with current safety standards. If you're buying a brand new crib, make sure you look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure that it is in compliance with the most stringent safety standards.

The slats that comprise the crib should be spaced to prevent children from catching their fingers or head in the slats and also they shouldn't contain any decorative cutouts or other ornaments that could create a risk. The mattress support system, which is essential to the safety of your crib, should be adjustable to different heights so that it can adapt to the needs of your child.

It is also recommended to avoid hanging objects, such as blind strings or curtains because they pose a strangulation risk for your infant. It is a good idea to examine your crib frequently for missing or loose items, and replace them if they are missing or that have become dislodged in the course of time.

Some cribs have the option of a side panel that could be lifted, but it won't stay down for long. These are great for parents who do not want to share a bed. Just make sure you keep your crib away from radiators and windows.

If you're looking for an environmentally friendly crib, select one made of wood from sustainable forests. You should also choose a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified. This means it has passed tests to ensure that there are no emissions of chemicals. If you're looking for something superior, select a crib that is made from sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA chemical compounds, BPA-based chemicals phthalates and other chemicals.

Style

If you're going for a minimal or classic nursery aesthetic, choosing an attractive crib is essential. The SnuzPod4 is sleek and Tots And Cots slim, making it a good choice for small spaces. It's GREENGUARD Certified and has the option of a lower-height mattress. Maria Martin, Mother & Baby's Editor, claimed that the crib was "up among the most beautiful cribs we've ever seen, even among sea grey!"

This classic high-back crib is crafted from solid New Zealand pinewood and comes in a variety of modern colors to fit any style. It's heavier than other cribs we've examined, but it's strong enough to make it through toddler-graduation and beyond. Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some other cribs, and you won't have a view of your little one from all four sides. It also takes up more square footage in the nursery than some of our other top choices.

While a good option for small spaces, its distinctive design can be challenging to find sheets and other bedding for. It's also a bit bulkier than some of our other picks and may require dismantling in order to fit through doors that are standard in order to move from room space.

Standard cribs are made from wood, including maple or oak, ash, cherry, mahogany, or birch. They are typically more long-lasting than other materials and can withstand nicks and dings better than soft pine. But be aware that certain manufacturers make use of pine instead of more durable hardwoods because it's less expensive. This can make the crib more susceptible to dent and scratches, which may require more frequent cleaning.

Another plus to a standard crib is that it often includes a toddler rail, which will help to keep your child safe from falling off and climbing. Remember that some cribs for toddlers will require you to buy an additional toddler bed rail.

Convertibility

When it comes to choosing a crib, there are many aspects to take into consideration. Think about the size, design, slats and whether it is convertible. It is essential to choose a crib you like because it will be with your child for a long period of time. You also want to choose the crib that fits to the decor of your home, whether that be traditional or contemporary.

A convertible crib is a great option because it can grow with your child to an infant cheap cot bed, and eventually into a full-size bed. This can save you money over time because you won't have to buy a separate bed for your child.

There are many different convertible cribs available however, some stand out more than others. One example is the Graco Benton 5in1 convertible crib. It's GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means that it is in compliance with or exceeds the government safety standards for construction and finish. It also has three mattress settings that can be adjusted and a low-profile that makes it easier to get your child in and out of it. It is also simple to assemble in less than 15 minutes with the use of a cordless drill/driver.

Another option is the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib. The crib is GreenGuard Certified Gold and a great deal. It is a classic design and can be made into a toddler bed, daybed or a full-size bed by the purchase of separate conversion kits. This crib is easy to put together, and its low profile makes it easy for parents to get into and out.

The final crib on our list, the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is ideal for minimalists looking to keep their nursery simple and tidy.

Some parents might want an uncluttered crib that complements their modern or contemporary home, whereas others may prefer a more formal style that suits the room's decor. If you fall into the latter category of parents, the Babyletto Hudson 3 in 1 crib is a great option. This elegant-looking model converts from a bassinet to mini cribs and later to a full crib, all without the need for mattresses or bars, meaning you'll have less mess to clean up.
