Safety

Choosing the best 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 constructed well and sturdy, without loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or pose a choking risk. It is crucial to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to regularly inspect the crib.

Examine the distance between slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to prevent your baby's head or legs from getting caught between them. You should be capable of seeing and reaching your child's crib. If you can't reach your baby, the slats may be too close together and should be more spacious.

The mattress support system is a different aspect to think about when choosing a crib. It is important to adjust the heights so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will help to reduce the chance of your child leaving the crib, which is a common occurrence as they learn to crawl.

Other security features to look out for include a fitted sheet that fits the mattress in a secure way, and an enduring and solid construction. You should also select a crib with fixed sides, rather than one with drop sides which can be dangerous for your baby. You should also share the same room with your baby until they are old enough for them to be able to go off on their own.

Last but not least, ensure that the crib is placed away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are out of reach. Also, you should remove any items that could be the risk of choking, such as blankets or pillows. Be cautious when buying second-hand cribs as they may not meet the current safety standards or have been recalls.

Design

While cribs might appear the same, it is important to keep in mind that all must meet strict safety guidelines. Most of the cribs that we looked at were designed in a similar fashion to ensure the structural integrity. For instance, many have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could catch or squeeze a baby. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its ease of use and assembly. We suggest selecting one with fewer components to avoid confusion.

Another thing to consider is the weight of the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects, or you don't want to move a heavy object it is possible to choose a lighter mattress. For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, making it the largest in this review.
