How to Choose the best cots uk Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely crucial piece for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with numerous styles and safety concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a stylish crib with a variety of mattress heights and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. They could easily fall into or be trapped between your baby and the crib bars or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The best rated cribs infant cribs are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also meet strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. Additionally, they're third-party tested for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certificates!). They're also designed to be durable and reversible, which means they can grow along with your child.

It's crucial to choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Secondhand cribs could be weakened in the course of time due to age, humidity and frequent use. This could cause serious dangers to your baby.

The slats on your crib should be spaced no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent children from being wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib should be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims and the hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It is also advisable to stay clear of cribs that have been used by other children or pets, as their security might have been compromised. Do not purchase or purchase cribs with drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some are purely aesthetic, such as whether the slats are the same length or spaced closer together and others have a real impact on the ease of the crib to use and maintain. Some features like drop sides and finials aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, like adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

One thing to be aware of is that the crib should be used solely for sleep for infants, so it's not an area to store toys or clothing. It's also recommended to put a crib on your registry so that your family and friends can pitch in to help you get one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in a variety of different styles, but we prefer those that combine design and function. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks stunning. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified, which we think is a must for any product that is non-toxic. It can be turned into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs sport more traditional designs, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a stylish choice that can be incorporated into larger nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space compared to smaller minimalist options. Furthermore, it only has three mattress height levels, which is less than half the other options, and it's not as sturdy as some of our other picks.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern look. Its concealed hardware and all-round mesh improve airflow and make it easier to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be elevated to a higher position to ease colic and reflux which makes it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with a free matching mattress. It's important to note, however it's more expensive than our other top picks and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby is sleeping in their crib, it's important that the mattress is the right level. This will ensure that your child can't climb out, which could be dangerous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can safeguard your child from overheating or suffocation.

A good crib will have adjustable slats or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your baby grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit so you can transform the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler bed once your little one outgrows it. It's also recommended to select a crib that has been tested and certified by a third party organization for safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is free of finishes or chemicals.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has an easy design and has no confusing parts. It is among the top-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are smaller than many other models however, one user said that her child slept well 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 fantastic option. It features an oval shape that creates a modern appearance. It's a bit more costly than other cribs, however it's durable and comes with numerous features that make up the cost. It can be easily converted into a toddler bed or bassinet, and it has wheels to make it easy to move. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create a space that resembles a womb for your baby. This is a chic design to any nursery.

The only downside to this crib is it doesn't have a mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. However, it's a secure and comfortable crib that can be adapted to your child's needs from newborn to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The safest cribs have no chewable or dangling components. If something is hanging over or below the crib, it could cause the rails to pull or create a strangulation risk. Babies are very grabby. If a parent decides to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they must be sure that the items are securely secured and are out of Baby's reach.

We also look at how it is easy to build our top cribs for infants. The crib should be easy enough to assemble by yourself, without requiring special tools or spending a large amount of time. Many parents report that the assembly of a modern crib takes less than a half hour, and the instructions included are usually simple and easy to follow.

A crib will be an important purchase for many new parents, which is why it's crucial to find one that will last for many years to come. Select a crib that is able to be converted from a crib to an infant's bed, and then to a full-size mattress.
