How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most essential items for your baby's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the best crib, given so many styles and safety concerns.

Look for a crib that has the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a stylish crib with a range of mattress sizes and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your baby's crib. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. These items can easily fall into or be caught between your baby and the crib bars or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best 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, local and state requirements 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!) And they are designed to last and are adaptable, so they can expand with your child.

It's important that you choose cribs that meet current safety standards, no matter if you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Secondhand cribs can have their structural integrity weakened due to aging, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose serious dangers to your baby.

The crib's slats should not be longer than 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware should be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their security could be at risk. Don't purchase or buy the crib that has drop-side rails. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

There are a variety of design differences between cribs, even though they all must be safe to use standards. Some are simply aesthetic, such as whether the slats are of the same length or placed closer together and others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to operate and maintain. Certain features, such as drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as 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 solely for sleep for infants and is not an ideal place to store toys or clothing. You can also put a crib on your registry to get help from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in many different styles, but we prefer ones that blend design and function. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which we believe is essential for any baby product that is non-toxic, and it can convert into a toddler bed or daybed (toddler conversion kit sold separately).

Some cribs feature more traditional designs, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stylish choice that will fit into large nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller minimalist options. Additionally, it has only three levels of mattress height, which is less than half of the competition and isn't as sturdy as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a modern design. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and make it easier to see your baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can be raised higher to alleviate colic and reflux. This is suitable for babies aged 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's worth noting, however it's more expensive than our other top choices and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is crucial that the mattress on your baby's crib is of the correct height. This ensures that your child isn't able to climb out and fall, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher also helps protect your baby from suffocating or overheating.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats that permit you to raise or lower it as your child grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit so you can turn the crib into the toddler bed or daybed after your baby outgrows it. In the end, it's best cot beds to choose a crib that has been tested and inspected by a third party organization to ensure safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is free of any chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib has simple design and doesn't have complicated parts. It is one of the top cribs. The sides of the crib are a bit shorter than most cribs, but one parent tester stated that her baby was comfortable in it and was still in good condition when she passed it on to a friend after her second child.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic option. It features an oval shape, which gives it a modern look. It's more expensive than other recommended cribs, however it's sturdy and comes with a number of features that make up the cost. It is able to be converted into a bassinet or toddler bed tots and cots has wheels to make it simple to move. It also comes with a canopy that can be utilized to create a womb-like environment for your baby and adds an elegant look to any nursery.

This crib does not come with mattress. You'll have to purchase a mattress separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that will grow with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.

No dangling or tots and Cots chewable parts

The safest cribs have no chewable or dangling parts. Babies love to grab things, and if something is hanging from their crib or above them it could tug against the rails or create an entanglement hazard. If parents decide to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they should ensure that the items are securely fastened and out of baby's reach.

In addition to the security features of our best infant cribs, we also look at how easy it is to set up. The ideal crib will be simple enough that you can build it yourself and doesn't require special tools or extensive assembly time. The majority of parents say it takes less than one hour to put together an modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

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

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet in the beginning, and later converted into an infant bed, a daybed or a full-size cheap cot bed. It is designed to last and is available in a variety of colors, so you can match it to the theme of your nursery's decor.

Stork Craft Equinox is another great option. This stunning, minimalist-style crib is low-profile that allows parents who are small to touch their child and comfort them. It also has a good reputation for quality and comes in cherry, white and espresso colors as well as natural pine colors.

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