Bassinets are the best option when you live in a smaller house. Cribs can take up a lot more space. Many parents prefer a crib because of security concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and wellbeing. You want to make sure that it is in line with current safety standards and is free of dangers that could cause harm during sleep. It should be well-constructed and strong, with no loose pieces that could catch on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer for assembly and use and to inspect the crib on a regular basis.

The first thing you need to check is the space between the slats. It shouldn't 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 in a position to be able to see and reach your baby's crib. If you're not then the slats are close together and should be more spacious.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It must be adjustable to various heights so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will reduce the chance of your child climbing out of the crib, which is a common event as they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to consider include a fitted sheet that fits the mattress with ease as well as solid and stable construction. Choose a crib with fixed sides rather than one that has drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. It is also recommended to share a room with your baby for the first six months or so, and then move them into their own bedroom once they are old enough to be watched while sleeping alone.

Finally, you should ensure that the crib is away from windows and radiators and that any hanging objects like curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach. It is also recommended to remove any items that might pose the risk of choking like pillows or blankets. Be cautious of buying second-hand cribs, since they may not meet the current safety standards or been recalled due to other reasons.

Design

While cribs may look all similar, it's crucial to remember that every crib must adhere to strict safety guidelines. This is why the majority cribs we examined have a similar design to ensure consistency of structural quality. For example, most have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could catch or pinch babies. We also assessed and rated each crib for how easy it was to put together and use. We suggest choosing the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned.

Mattress

Babies are messy and a washable crib mattress is an essential. Diaper leaks and baby spit-up can cause mattresses to become dirty and damp, resulting in mildew or bacteria that could be harmful to infants. Select a mattress that can be easy to clean with an mild cleaner or cloth. Also, consider a waterproof cover to stop fluids from leaking into the mattress.

Find mattresses that are designed to last up to 10 years, meaning it will be ready for toddlers and beyond. Many of the mattresses featured in this review can be 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 mattress for the crib is best, as it will support their spines while they are developing. A mattress that is extremely firm helps to reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to happen when a child's head is lowered into a soft mattress.

Check the label of a firm mattress to ensure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing, flammability, lead and other chemicals that could be risk to infants. You can also find certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that could affect infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another consideration is the weight of a mattress for a crib. Sheet changes at night require that you lift and move the mattress, so if you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or aren't able to carry a heavy item you should consider a lighter crib mattress. For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, making it the heaviest in this review. It is also made of foam instead of woven-core inners. This makes it easier to move around as compared to a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's simple to put together is great for parents who are new. Look for one with hardware that is securely secured and has without sharp edges or rough spots that could rub your baby's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet today's safety standards.
