How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is a very crucial piece for your cheap baby cots's nursery. However, choosing a suitable crib can be a daunting task especially when you consider the many different designs and security concerns.

Choose cribs that meet the highest safety standards and includes no dangling or chewable components. We also suggest a chic crib that has a variety of mattress heights and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is important to avoid putting any items in the crib of your baby which could cause harm or injury including blankets, pillows as well as sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. These items could easily fall into or become caught between your baby and the crib bars, or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best infant cribs are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal laws, state and local standards for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They are also designed to last and convertible, meaning they can grow along with your child.

It's important that you choose a crib that meets current safety standards, no matter if you're buying a brand new or used crib. Used cribs can become less sturdy over time due to the effects of humidity, age and heavy use. This can cause serious dangers to your baby.

The slats on your crib should not be longer than 3/8 inch (6 centimeters), and the hardware must be secure. Check the slats and mattress support rims and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It's also recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by other children or pets, since their safety might be compromised. Don't buy or accept a crib with a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are a variety of design differences between cribs, even though they all must be safe to use standards. Some differences are purely cosmetic, like the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others can make it difficult to clean and use the crib. Certain features, cheap cot beds cot bed (www.google.co.vi) such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used and others, like adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters highly sought-after by many parents.

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

Cribs are available in many different styles, but we prefer those that combine design and function. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks stunning. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is essential for any toxic-free product. It can be turned to a daybed or toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Other cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stately choice that fits well into large nursery spaces, however it takes up more floor space than smaller, minimalist alternatives and comes with exposed hardware that some may find distracting. It has only three mattress levels, which is half the competition's number. It's not as durable as our other picks.

Another option that has contemporary design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its concealed hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and make it easier to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for many new parents. It can be raised higher to relieve reflux and colic. This is suitable for babies aged 6 months and the birth. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a matching mattress. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than the other top picks and requires a separate conversion kit for toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's important that the mattress is at the right level. This will prevent your child from escaping the crib, which could be risky or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can safeguard your child from overheating or suffocation.

A quality crib will include slats that can be adjusted or railings to allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your baby grows. Most good cribs will also come with a conversion kit, so you can convert the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed after your baby outgrows it. Finally, it's a good idea to choose a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organization for safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is not contaminated of chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has simple design and doesn't have complicated parts. It is among the top cribs. The sides of the crib are shorter than those of other cribs. However, one tester said that her baby slept well and that the crib was still in good shape when she gave it to a friend as her second baby.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which has a unique oval shape that gives it a modern style. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs, but its durability and features make up for it. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or toddler bed. It also has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a like a womb for your baby and adds a stylish touch to any nursery.

The crib doesn't come with mattress. You'll have to purchase a mattress separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child from newborn to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or hanging components. Babies love to grab things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging from their crib or above them, it could pull off the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or decorative objects, they should make sure the items are secured tightly and not in reach of Baby.

In addition to the security features of our best infant cribs, we also consider how simple it is to set up. The crib should be easy enough to assemble yourself, without requiring special tools or spending a lot of time. The majority of parents say that the assembly of a modern crib takes less than an hour, and the included instructions are generally clear and easy to follow.

It is crucial to choose a crib that will last many years. Pick a crib that can be converted from a crib into an infant's bed, and then to a full-size mattress.
