The 10 Scariest Things About Best Infant Cribs > 자유게시판

How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

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

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

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your crib for your child. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in the crib of your child that could potentially cause injury or harm, including pillows, blankets 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 that are larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items can easily fall into or become stuck 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 from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also comply with 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 be tough and convertible, so they'll continue to grow with your child.

It's important that you choose a crib that meets current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may become less sturdy over time due to humidity, age and heavy use. This could cause serious dangers to your baby.

The crib's slats should not be more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep children from being wedged between them and the hardware on the crib should be secure. It's an excellent idea to examine the mattress support rims and slats for any broken or loose components.

It's also recommended cribs to stay clear of cribs that have been used by other children and/or pets, as their safety might be compromised. Don't buy or buy an older crib that has an incline side rail, which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to security reasons.

Style

There are a variety of design differences between cribs, despite the fact that all must be safe to use standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as if the slats are all identical in length or are spaced closer together or not, while others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Some features like drop sides and finials are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's intended to be an area where babies can sleep. It's also an excellent idea to include a crib on your registry so that friends and family can help you get one when the time arrives.

Cribs are available in many different styles, but we prefer those that combine style with functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks stunning. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which we believe is an essential feature for any baby product that is non-toxic, and it can convert into a toddler bed as well as a daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).

Other cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stylish choice that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes more floor space compared to smaller minimalist options. It has only three mattress levels, which is half the number of competitors. It's also not as durable as our other choices.

Another option that has modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and make it easier to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for many new parents. It can be raised to alleviate colic and reflux. This makes it suitable for babies aged 6 months and the birth. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an extra mattress that can be used as a substitute. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than other top choices, and it requires an additional conversion kit for toddler cot beds for sale.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's vital that the mattress is at the correct height. This will ensure that your child isn't able to climb out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can also help keep your child from overheating or becoming suffocated.

A quality crib will include slats that can be adjusted or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your baby grows. A conversion kit is included with the majority of cribs so that you can turn it into a daybed or toddler bed when your child is no longer in the crib. It's also best to choose a crib that has been tested and Nursery cots inspected by a third party organisation for safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to make sure there are minimal chemicals or finishes present in your baby's sleep space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the top-rated cribs available, and it's easy to put together and has a simple layout that doesn't contain any jarring pieces or parts. The crib's sides are shorter than the other models. However, one tester reported that her baby slept well and that the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a relative for her second baby.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great alternative. It features an oval shape that gives it a modern look. It's a little more expensive than other cribs, however its quality and features make up for it. It can easily be converted into an infant bed or a bassinet, and it has wheels that make it easy to move. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create a space that resembles a womb for your baby. This is a chic accent to any nursery.

This crib is not equipped with mattress. You will need to purchase one separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that can grow with your child as they transition from infant to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The most secure cribs are free of chewable or dangling components. Babies like to grab things, and if something is hanging from their crib or above them, it could snag on the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decide to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they need to ensure that the items are securely attached and out of baby's reach.

In addition to the safety features of our best cribs for infants, we also consider how simple it is to assemble. Ideally, the crib should be easy enough to be able to build it yourself, and doesn't require any special tools or extensive assembly time. The majority of parents say that the process of assembling a modern crib can take less than a half hour, and the instructions included are usually clear and easy to follow.

A crib will be a major purchase for most new parents, which is why it's important to find one that will last for a long time to be. For longevity, opt for a convertible crib that will be used from the time of infancy until a toddler bed and finally a larger bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top ranked cribs pick for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet in the beginning, and later transformed into an infant bed, a daybed or a larger bed. It's made for long-term use and comes in a variety of colors which makes it easy to match your nursery design theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another fantastic option. This gorgeous, minimal-style crib has a slim profile that allows parents with small hands to reach their child and calm them. It is well-known for quality, and comes in white, cherry and espresso colors.

It also exceeds the standards of government agencies such as ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing that is missing is a toddler rail that you can purchase separately. This is an excellent option for those who are looking for a quality, affordable cots crib that will last for a long time.
