Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it meets current safety standards, and is free of dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, without loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's directions for assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for indications of wear or damage.

The first thing to look at is the space between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to prevent your baby from falling over or getting their limbs caught between them. You should be able to see and reach your child's crib. If you cannot reach your baby, the slats must be wider and not as close together.

The mattress support system is an additional aspect to consider when choosing a crib. It should be adjustable so you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the risk that your baby will climb out of the crib when they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other safety features you should be looking for.

Be cautious when buying second-hand cribs as they may not be in compliance with the current safety standards or have been removed from the market.

Design

Look over the label of the mattress to confirm that it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC demands that mattresses be tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a risk to babies. There are also certifications such as Greenguard CertiPUR-US, GOTS, and CertiPUR-US, which are a good sign that the mattress has been tested for the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could harm infants' respiratory and nervous systems.
