How to Choose the best cots Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely important piece for the nursery of your baby. It isn't easy to pick the best crib, given numerous styles and safety concerns.

Find cribs that meet the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling components. We also suggest a chic crib with a range of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib, make sure to adhere to the safe sleeping 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 pillows, blankets and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. They could slide between the crib bars or become stuck in them. They may also be taken up by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They're also designed to be sustainable and flexible, allowing them to expand with your child.

It's important that you choose cribs that meet current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Used cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to age, humidity and heavy use, posing serious risks to your infant.

The slats of your crib should not be more than 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 also advisable to avoid using cribs that have been used by other children and/or pets, as their security might be compromised. Don't buy or accept a crib with drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

There are a lot of design differences between cribs, despite the fact that they all must meet safety standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others could impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided and others, like adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters popular with parents.

A crib isn't intended to be used for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be a place where babies can sleep. It's also an excellent idea to include the crib on your registry so that your family and friends can lend a hand to help you get one when the time arrives.

Cribs come in all shapes and sizes However, the ones we prefer have a mix of style and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks great. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified, which we think is a must for any toxic-free product. It can be transformed into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.

Some cribs feature an older-style look, such as the DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots-in-1. It's a stately choice that is a good fit for large nursery spaces, however it occupies more floor space than the smaller, minimalist alternatives and comes with exposed hardware that some find distracting. Moreover, it only has three levels of mattress height, which is less than half the competition and it's not as sturdy as our other picks.

Another option with modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and allow you to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for a lot of new parents. It can also be elevated to a higher position to ease colic and reflux and colic, making it suitable for babies ranging from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's important to remember that this bed is more expensive than the other top choices, and it requires a separate conversion kit for toddler beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is crucial that the mattress on your baby's crib is of the correct height. This will stop your child from escaping the crib, which could be risky or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can also help to keep your child safe from suffocating or overheating.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise the mattress or lower it as your child grows. A conversion kit comes with the majority of cribs so that you can convert it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed when your child is no longer in the crib. It is recommended to select the crib that has been tested and certified by a third-party institution. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification that means it has been tested to make sure there aren't any chemicals or finishes in your Baby Crib's sleep space.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib one of the most highly-rated cribs on the market, and it's simple to put together and features a simple design that doesn't have any jarring pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are shorter than those of other cribs. However, one parent test subject said that their baby slept well and that the crib was still in good shape when she gave it to a relative for her second baby.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great option. It features an oval shape, which gives it a contemporary look. It's a little more expensive than other cribs, but its durability and features are worth it. It can be easily converted into a bassinet or toddler bed and comes with wheels to make it simple to move. It also has a canopy that can be used to create an environment that resembles a womb for your baby. It adds a fashionable accent to any nursery.

The only issue with this crib is that it doesn't come with mattress, which you'll need to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.

No dangling or chewable components.

The most secure cribs do not have 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 can be very grabbing. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other decorative items, they must make sure the items are secured tightly and aren't in the reach of Baby.
