How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable crib can be overwhelming especially when you consider the many different designs and security concerns.

Choose 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 range of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib make sure to adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in the crib of your baby that could potentially cause injury or harm, including pillows, blankets as well as sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information). Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items can easily fall into or become stuck between your baby and the crib bars, or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cots for newborns cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also comply with strict federal and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They're designed to be durable and convertible so they can expand with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's important to choose cribs that meet today's rigorous safety standards. Secondhand cribs could lose structural integrity over time due to age, humidity and good cribs frequent use. This could create serious risks for your baby.

The slats on your crib should be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib should be secured. Check the slats, mattress support rims and the hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It's also wise to stay clear of cribs that were used by other children or pets, as their safety might be compromised. Also, don't purchase or purchase a secondhand crib that has a drop side rail, which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to security reasons.

Style

Although all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, there are a lot of design differences. Some of the differences are cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced further than others, and some can make it difficult to use and clean the crib. Certain features such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like adjustable mattress height and wheels, are sought-after by many parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used for toys or clothes. It's designed to be an area where babies can sleep. It's also recommended to put the crib on your list so that your family and friends can help you purchase one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes however, the ones we prefer are those that combine style and function. For example, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and looks sharp.

Adjustable Mattress Height

A good crib should have adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise the mattress or lower it as your child grows.

Babies like cots to tots grab things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging from or above their crib it could snag against the rails or create an entanglement hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or other items, they must make sure the items are securely secured and not in reach of Baby.
