How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs
A crib is one of the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. However, choosing a suitable crib can be a daunting task particularly with the number of different styles and safety concerns.
Find a crib that adheres to the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a sleek crib with a variety of mattress heights and modern, sleek design.
Safety
Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your crib for your child. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in your Baby Cot Bed's crib that could potentially cause injury or harm including blankets, pillows and sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information). Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. They could get caught between the crib bars or get stuck within them. They could also be taken up by the mattress.
The most suitable cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also meet strict federal laws, local and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certificates!). And they are designed to be durable and convertible so they can expand with your child.
No matter if you're buying new or used, it's essential to select a crib that is in line with today's rigorous safety standards. Secondhand cribs could lose structural integrity over time due to age, humidity and use. This can pose serious risks to your baby.
The slats of your crib should not exceed 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters), and the hardware must be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims, and hardware for any damaged or loose components.
It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, since their safety may be at risk. Don't buy or purchase a secondhand crib that has a drop side rail, which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for safety reasons.
Style
There are many design differences between cribs, even though they all have to meet safety standards. Some are purely aesthetic, such as if the slats are all the same length or placed closer together, while others have a real impact on how easy the crib is to use and maintain. Certain features such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are coveted by a lot of parents.
A crib is not meant to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's intended to be a place where babies can sleep. It's also recommended to put the crib on your list so that your family and friends can lend a hand to help you get one when the time comes.
Cribs come in all shapes and sizes However, the ones we love best are those that combine style and function. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimal and looks sharp. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which we consider essential for any toxic-free baby product and it's able to convert into a toddler bed as well as a daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).
Other cribs have a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a classy crib that fits well into big nursery spaces, but it takes up more floor space than the smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some might find distracting. Moreover, it only has three mattress height levels, which is less than half of the alternatives, and it's not as sturdy as some of our other options.
Another option that has modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh improve airflow and make it easier to see baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for many new parents. It can be raised to relieve reflux and colic. This makes it suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD certified and includes a free matching mattress. It's important to remember that this bed is more expensive than the other top picks, and it requires an additional conversion kit for toddler beds.
Adjustable Mattress Height
It is crucial that the mattress on your baby's crib is the right height. This will stop your child from escaping the crib, which can be risky or even fatal. A higher mattress also helps protect your baby from overheating or becoming suffocated.
A quality crib should have adjustable slats or railings to allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. A majority of cribs include a conversion kit that allows you can turn the crib into a toddler bed or daybed after your baby outgrows it. Finally, it's best to choose a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organization to ensure safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is free of chemicals or finishes.
The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has an easy design and has no complicated parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are a bit shorter than most cribs, but one parent tester said that her child was comfortable in it and was still in good condition when she passed it on to a friend after her second child.
Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great alternative. It has an oval shape that gives it a modern look. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs, however its quality and features make up for it. It can be easily converted into a toddler bed or bassinet and has wheels that make it easy to move. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create an environment more like a womb for your baby. It adds a fashionable design to any nursery.
The only issue with this crib is that it doesn't include a mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can expand with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.
No Dangling or Chewable Components
The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or hanging components. If something is hanging over or below the crib, this could cause the rails to be pulled or create a strangulation risk. Babies are extremely grabbing. If a parent decides to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they must make sure that the items are securely fastened and are out of Baby's reach.
In addition to the safety features of our top cribs for babies, we take into consideration how easy it is to assemble. Ideally, the crib should be simple enough to be able to build it yourself and doesn't require specialized tools or a long time to assemble. Many parents report that the process of assembling a modern crib can take less than an hour and the instructions included are generally clear and easy to follow.
A crib will be the most expensive purchase for new parents, so it is essential to choose one that will last for many years to be. Pick a crib that can be converted from a crib to a toddler's bed, and later a full-size mattress.
The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet for the beginning, and later converted into an infant bed, a daybed, or a full-size bed. It's made for long-term use and comes in a range of colors that make it easy to match your nursery design theme.
Another excellent choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This beautiful, minimalist-style crib has a slim profile that makes it easier for petite parents to reach their child and soothe them. It also has a good cribs reputation for quality and is available in white, cherry, espresso, and natural pine colors.
This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it is made from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free from toxins such as lead and phthalates. It also far exceeds government safety standards, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that is missing is a toddler rail that you can purchase separately. This is a great choice for those looking for a high-quality affordable cots crib that will last.
