How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most essential items for your baby's nursery. But picking out a good crib can be a daunting task especially when you consider the many different designs and safety concerns.

Find a crib that meets the most stringent safety standards and has no dangling or chewable components. We also suggest a chic crib that has a variety of mattress heights as well as a sleek, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib, make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects 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 other stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items could easily fall between your baby's crib bars or get trapped in them. They may also get swallowed by the mattress.

The best cot newborn infant cribs are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They are also designed to last and convertible, so they'll grow with your child.

Whether you're buying new or used, it's crucial to choose cribs that meet the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs could become less sturdy over time due to the effects of humidity, age and frequent use. This could cause serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should be spaced no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent children from being wedged between them and the hardware on the crib must be secured. Check the slats, best rated cribs mattress support rims, and hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety may have been compromised. Don't purchase or buy the crib that has a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

Although all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, there are a lot of design differences. Some differences are purely aesthetic, such as the slats have the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others can affect how easy it is to use and clean the crib. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are highly sought-after by many parents.

One thing to be aware of is that a crib is meant solely for sleep for infants and is not an area to store toys or clothing. It's also an excellent idea to include the crib on your registry to ensure that family and friends can help you purchase one when the time comes.

Cribs come in a variety of shapes and sizes However, the ones we prefer combine style and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks stunning. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, which we believe is a must-have for any baby product that is non-toxic, and it can convert into a toddler bed and daybed (toddler conversion kit sold separately).

Some cribs sport a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stylish choice that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller minimalist options. It has only three levels of mattress which is a fraction of the competition's number.

It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's worth noting, though, that it's more expensive than our other top picks and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's important that the mattress is the right height. This ensures that your child doesn't fall out and fall, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher also helps keep your child from suffocating or overheating.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise the mattress or lower it as your baby grows. A majority of cribs include a conversion kit so you can convert the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it.

The crib doesn't come with mattress. You will need to buy one separately. However, it's a secure and comfortable crib that can grow with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies like to grab objects, and if something is hanging over or above their crib it could tug against the rails or create an entanglement hazard. If parents decide to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they must ensure that the items are securely secured and out of baby's reach.

In addition to the safety features of our top cribs for babies, we look at how easy it is to set up.
