How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is a very important piece for the nursery of your baby. It isn't easy to pick the best crib, given so many styles and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling components. We recommend a crib that has a broad selection of mattress heights and a sleek design that matches your style.

Safety

When assembling and arranging 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 larger than 15 inches are not allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. They could easily fall into or become stuck between your baby and the crib bars or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The Best cot for newborn cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also comply with strict federal laws, state and local standards for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They're also designed to last and convertible, meaning they'll continue to grow with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's important to select a crib that is in line with the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to humidity, age and heavy use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The slats on your crib should be spaced no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib must be secured. It's an excellent idea to check the mattress support rims and slats for any loose or broken parts.

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, since their safety may be at risk. Don't purchase or buy a crib with a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

While all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, there are numerous design variations. Some differences are purely cosmetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others can make it difficult to clean and use the crib. Some features, like finials and drop sides, aren't safe and should not be used, while others--like adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are desirable for many parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used for toys or clothes. It's designed to be a place for babies to sleep. You can also put the crib on your registry to receive assistance from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in all sizes and shapes however, the ones we prefer have a mix of style and functionality. For instance the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and stylish. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, which is a must-have for any toxic-free baby product and can be converted into a toddler bed or daybed (toddler conversion kit sold separately).

Other cribs have an older-style look, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It is a stylish option that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. It has only three levels of mattress which is less than the competition's number. It's not as sturdy as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware enhance the flow of air, and Dr. Casares believes that this is a feature that new parents consider important. It can be raised higher to alleviate colic and reflux. This is suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an extra mattress that can be used as a substitute. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than the other top options and requires a separate conversion kit for toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is important that your baby's crib mattress is the right height. This ensures that your child isn't able to climb out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher also helps keep your child from suffocating or overheating.

A quality crib will have slats or railings that are adjustable that let you raise or lower the mattress as your baby grows. A conversion kit comes with the majority of cribs so that you can convert it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed when your child is no longer in the crib. It's recommended for you to choose a crib which has been tested and certified by a third-party organization. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to ensure there are no harmful chemical or other finishes in the baby's sleeping space.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great option. It features an oval shape which creates a modern appearance. It is a little more expensive than other cribs, but its quality and features are worth it. It is able to be transformed into a bassinet or toddler bed, and it has wheels to make it simple to move around.

This crib does not come with mattress. You'll need to purchase one separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that will expand with your child as they transition from infant to toddler.

No Chewable or Dangling Parts

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. If something is hanging over or below the crib, it could cause the rails to pull 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.
