If you're planning to keep your baby in a crib for a long time, think about buying a convertible crib. These small cot beds can be transformed into a toddler bed, and sometimes even a daybed or full-size. Some cribs include the conversion kits, whereas other require a purchase.

A few of our most-loved cribs include this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib that is sleigh-style, constructed of solid wood and features one of the taller mattress heights in the group (for parents who are concerned about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, meaning it complies with strict environmental standards for reduced off gassing.

Mattress

When it comes to crib mattresses, firmness and size are crucial. The AAP recommends using a mattress that is firm, is comfortable and does not leave an impression when you lay a sheet down on it. The mattress must also be the proper size for the crib, and it should remain in place--even after your baby gets out of it.

You should also determine whether the mattress is made up of substances that could harm your child. Choose mattresses that are odor-free and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--which typically emit a unpleasant chemical smell. A good indicator is a CertiPUR US certificate which confirms that the foam used in a mattress is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

When testing crib mattresses, we weighed them and looked at how they folded and moved to dress the sides with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight, a bit heavier than a newborn on each one to observe how much it recoiled. The best ones did not sink into the mattress and therefore provide enough support to keep your child from falling out of the mattress while sleeping or drowning. The mattresses we tested had a cover that was machine-washable and is waterproof. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even easier.

Crib Rails

A crib can't be complete without a set of rails that are fixed. While some baby furniture companies offer baby rails with the crib, others offer them on their own. If you choose to purchase them separately, look for ones that meet the safety requirements. For instance, they must be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should also be able support the weight of your child without becoming too flimsy. They should also be able to be secured in a secure way so they are not able to be removed by your child.

The crib rails need to not only be strong but also fit comfortably within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from becoming too fragile and could be dangerous for your child. When buying crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame, because there are slight differences in the size of cribs. The dimensions should be no more than three fingers.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails don't have any decorative cutouts or other adornments. They can create a suffocation risk. Avoid placing pillows, quilts, blankets and sheepskins inside the crib. They can result in a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. Consider a crib cover and pad combination to provide a comfortable sleeping surface for your baby. These products consist of an upholstered mattress pad, waterproof lining and an adjustable "skirt" that stretches over the mattress, much like an oversized sheet.

Sweetpea Baby has a convertible crib toddler guard rail that works with the majority of cribs. It's easy to set up and is compliant with the safety standards of the CPSC.

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are strictly aesthetic and subject to individual preference, while others -- such as the design of the slats that are on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bedcould have a significant impact on the user-friendliness of the crib and its lifespan. The best cribs are constructed of solid wood, comply with multiple safety regulations, and can be easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some cribs come with unique features that make them more effective like the Quick Zip Crib Sheet, which allows you to change the sheets without removing the entire mattress from the crib.

Generally speaking, you should avoid cribs with ornamental cut-outs, or other decorations that could catch on clothing or pose a risk of choking for children. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other components that could snag on objects or clothing.

You might also want to consider a convertible crib which can transform into a toddler bed, daybed, or full-size bed. This is a good choice for families who intend to use the crib for many years or have limited space. It is important to remember that certain crib conversion kits require additional purchases to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be difficult to comprehend, but it's essential to ensure security and stability. Most cribs feature a system of rectangular blocks, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks called step chocks, all designed to ensure that contact points are secure between the crib and the supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are made of soft woods which crack slowly, and can give audible warnings before they fail and more rigid wood materials can break up suddenly and with more force. Shims and chocks made of plastic are also available, and can be installed more easily because they don't require drilling or screwing into the surface.
