Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport cot sets Bed will look stunning in a Scandi nursery. It also provides a good amount of flexibility, with three mattress support height levels and the possibility of transforming into an infant bed.

Bassinets are a good option for those with a small house. Cribs can take up more space. However, a lot of parents choose a crib for security reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best cot bed crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and wellbeing. You should ensure that it is in line with current safety standards and is free of dangers that could cause harm during sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, with no loose parts that might catch on clothing or present dangers of choking. It is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to check the crib regularly.

The first thing to look at is the spacing between the slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches, to prevent your baby's head or legs from getting trapped in between them. You should be able to see and reach your child in the crib. If you can't, the slats are too close to each other and should be wider.

The mattress support system is an additional aspect to think about when choosing a crib. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will reduce the possibility of your baby climbing out of the crib which is a frequent situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other security features to look for. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be dangerous for your child. You should also share the same room with your baby until they are old enough to be able to sleep on their own.

Not least, ensure that the crib is placed away from windows and radiators, and that hanging items such as curtains or blind cords are not in reach. Also, you should remove anything that could create the risk of choking like pillows or blankets. Be cautious of buying second-hand cribs, since they may not be in compliance with the current safety standards or been recalled for other reasons.

Design

It is crucial to keep in mind that cribs can look the same but must still meet the strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we reviewed are designed in a similar fashion to ensure the structural solidity. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could catch or snag a baby. We also examined each crib and evaluated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly. We suggest choosing a crib with fewer parts to avoid confusion.

One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which is designed with an elegant, contemporary style and comes in a variety of color options, including some two-toned. It also has a universal mattress fitting, cribs and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having minimal volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is a different option. This crib is sleek and modern with minimal details that make it perfect for modern nursery. The crib is available in various colors and has four different mattress heights, meaning your baby can use it from newborn to toddler. We tested this crib and found it to be sturdy and stable, with no flexing or creaking when a child weighed a lot of weight inside.

If you're thinking of having more children, you might be interested in a convertible crib. Many of these options transform into a toddler bed, and later a full-size bed offering excellent longevity for your money. The Sweet2Sleep Crib is a prime example of a convertible crib that received high marks from our test parents. The side rail that can be removed was loved by a lot of parents for making feeding at night more secure and less stressful. They also noted that the crib was spacious enough space for their baby to be comfortable while dad and mom slept.

The Carter's Colby 4-in-1 crib by DaVinci is an excellent option if you prefer traditional design. This crib is cheaper than the Stork Craft, and it has a timeless style that will fit in with most nursery decors. It has three different heights for the mattress, but some parents and toddlers may feel it is a bit low.

Mattress

A washable crib mattress will be a great option for babies. Spitting up from diapers, baby spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and dirty, leading to mildew and bacteria that may affect infants. Select a mattress that can be easily cleaned with an mild cleaner or cloth. Also, consider a waterproof cover to stop fluids from entering the mattress.

Find mattresses that are designed to last 10 years, meaning it's ready for toddlers and beyond. A lot of the mattresses in this review are reversible with toddler and infant sides, that allows you to use them right from birth until your child is ready to move on to the full-size bed.

A firm crib mattress is best for infants, since it will provide the most support to their growing spines. A firm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS. This is due to the fact that an extremely soft mattress increases the possibility that a child's head will sink into it.

When looking for a mattress for your crib that is firm be sure to examine the label to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing, flammability, lead and other chemicals that could be a hazard to babies. You can also find certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that could cause harm to infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

The weight of the mattress is another thing to take into consideration. The regular changes to sheets at night require that you move and lift the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or aren't able to take on a heavy product then consider getting a crib mattress that is lighter. Newton Wovenaire, for example is only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness weighs 20lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses in this review. It is also made from foam instead of woven-core inners. This makes it much easier to move around in comparison to a traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's simple to put together is great for new parents. Look for one equipped with hardware that is securely held, without sharp edges or rough spots that could irritate your baby's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet the current safety standards.

When looking for a crib, bear in mind that you'll probably require a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib). These kits are offered separately by most manufacturers. They're usually affordable, and will assist your child in transitioning to a bigger bed more seamlessly.

Many new parents appreciate the durability that can be found in a convertible crib, and they're a good investment for families with multiple children. They are designed to last, and they are typically able to be converted into a daybed, toddler bed, or full-size bed.

It has a medium-height profile and can be converted from an infant crib into a toddler bed, with or without a rail. It's easy to set up and has a lot of aesthetic appeal, but the thin finish is susceptible to scratches in normal use.
