How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an important piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with numerous styles and safety concerns.

Look for a crib that has the highest safety standards, with no chewable or dangling components. We recommend a crib sets with a broad range of mattress height settings and a modern design that matches your style.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your crib for your child. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to your baby's nursery. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys and blankets. Your baby should also not sleep with any teddy bears dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. These items could easily slide between the crib bars or become stuck in them. They may also be taken in by the mattress.

The most recommended cribs suitable cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also meet strict federal and state regulations 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 be sustainable and flexible, allowing them to expand with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's important to select a crib that meets today's strict safety standards. Secondhand cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to humidity, age and prolonged use, which can pose serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should not be longer than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters), and the hardware must be secure. It's an excellent idea to inspect the mattress support rims and slats for any broken or loose parts.

It's best to avoid cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, as their security could have been compromised. Finally, don't purchase or purchase an older crib that has the drop side rail which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for security reasons.

Style

There are a lot of design differences between cribs, despite the fact that all have to meet safety standards. Some of the differences are aesthetic, such as the slats have the same length, or are spaced closer than others, and some can make it difficult to use and clean the crib. Some features, like drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used, while others--like adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

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

Cribs come in many different styles We prefer ones that blend fashion and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalistic crib that looks great. It is also GREENGUARD gold-certified, which we think is essential for any toxic-free product. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Other cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a grand crib that is a good fit for large nurseries, but it takes up more floor space than smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some may find distracting. It has only three levels of mattress which is a fraction of the competition's number. It's not as sturdy as our other picks.

It's worth noting, however 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 at the correct height. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which can be fatal or dangerous. A higher mattress also helps to keep your child safe from overheating or suffocating.

A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise the mattress or lower it as your baby grows.

The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications ensure that your baby's crib is free of finishes or chemicals.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has a simple design and no complicated parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs.

Another great option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which features a unique oval shape that gives it a modern style.

It also has 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.

The crib doesn't come with mattress. You'll have to buy one separately. But it's a safe and comfortable crib that will grow with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The safest cribs have no chewable or hanging components. If something is hung over or below the crib, this could cause the rails to pull or cause strangulation. Babies are very grabby. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should make sure they secure the items and aren't within reach of Baby.
