How to Choose the best infant cribs - recent post by Taikwu,

The crib is a very essential piece of furniture for the nursery of your baby. But picking out a good crib can be overwhelming, especially with so many different designs and safety concerns.

Look for a crib that has the highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress sizes and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your child's crib. It is crucial to not place any items in the crib of your child which could cause harm or injury including blankets, pillows, sheepskins, stuffed toys, and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Teddy bears, dolls, and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches shouldn't be allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. They could fall between your baby's crib bars or be stuck in them. They may also get taken in by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made from materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also adhere to strict federal laws, state and local requirements for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to last and convertible, so they can grow along with your child.

It's important that you choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Secondhand cribs could be weakened in the course of time due to humidity, age and use. This can pose serious risks to your baby.

The crib's slats should not be longer than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters), and the hardware should be secure. It's an excellent idea to inspect the slats and mattress support rims for any loose or broken components.

It's also recommended to avoid using cribs that were used by other children and/or pets, since their safety may be compromised. Do not purchase or purchase the crib that has a drop-side rail. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are a variety of variations in the design of cribs, despite the fact that they all have to meet safety standards. Some of the differences are cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others can make it difficult to clean and use the crib. Certain features such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, small Cot beds are coveted by many parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib should be used only for infant sleep, so it's not an ideal place to store toys or clothing. You can also include a crib on your registry to receive help from friends and family in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in all sizes and shapes however, the ones we love best are those that combine style and function. For example the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and looks sharp. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified which we believe is a must for any product that is free of toxics. It can be converted into a toddler and daybed with a separate conversion kit.

Other cribs are more traditional, like the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a grand crib that is a good fit for large nursery spaces, however it takes up more floor space than the smaller minimalist options and has exposed hardware that some find distracting. It has only three levels of mattress which is less than the number of competitors. It's not as durable as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern aesthetic. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh improve airflow and allow you to see baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be raised to a higher level to alleviate reflux and colic and colic, making it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's worth noting, though, that it's more expensive than our other top selections and requires a toddler cot bed sales conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that the crib mattress of your baby is of the correct height. This will ensure that your child isn't able to climb out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can also help keep your child from suffocating or overheating.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise or lower it as your baby grows. A majority of cribs include a conversion kit that allows you can transform the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's an excellent idea to select a crib which has been certified and tested by a third-party institution. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to ensure there are minimal chemical or other finishes in the crib where your baby sleeps.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the most highly-rated cribs available, and it's easy to put together and has a simple design that doesn't have any confusing parts or pieces. The crib's sides are shorter than other models. However, one tester reported that her child slept well and the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a friend as her second child.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic alternative. It features an oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It is a little more expensive than other cribs, however its durability and features make up for it. It is able to be transformed into an infant bed or a bassinet, and it has wheels to make it easy to move around. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a more womb-like environment for your baby. It's also an elegant look to any nursery.

This crib is not equipped with mattresses. You'll need to purchase one separately. It's a secure, comfortable crib that will expand with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.

There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grasp objects, Crib Sets and if something is hanging from their crib or above them, it could snag off the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative items, they must make sure the items are securely secured and aren't in the reach of Baby.

We also examine how easy it is to build our top cribs for infants. The ideal crib will be simple enough to build it yourself and doesn't require special tools or long assembly time. The majority of parents say it takes less than one hour to put together a modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

It is essential to select the right crib that will last for many years. To ensure longevity, you should choose a convertible crib that can start at the beginning of your child's life until a toddler bed and finally a larger bed.

Our top choice for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib, which can be used as a bassinet for those early months, then convert into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed. It's designed to last and comes in a variety of colors, so you can match it with your nursery's design theme.

Another great option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This beautiful, minimal-style crib is low-profile so that parents with small feet can reach their child and soothe them. It is renowned for quality and comes in cherry, white and espresso colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified for finish quality and environmental safety, and it's made from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of toxins such as lead and phthalates (BPA). It also exceeds the safety standards set by the government, such as ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that is missing is a toddler rail, which you can buy separately. This is a great choice for those seeking a top-quality affordable crib that will last for a long time.
