Choosing the Best Crib A crib will be a major element in your nursery for a long time so it's crucial to pick one you love admiring. Avoid any with cutouts or drop-sides that your baby might get into, and choose a design that is easily convertible into a toddler bed or daybed. Safety As parents are, we'd like to give our babies the best start in life, and it starts with a safe crib. You shouldn't use a crib that has lots of missing or loose pieces or is one that doesn't meet the current safety standards. If you're buying a brand new crib, make sure you look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure that it is in compliance with the most stringent safety requirements. The slats in a crib should be tightly spaced to prevent children from getting their hands or heads in the slats and should not have any decorative cut outs or other decorations which could cause injury risk. A mattress support system is also crucial to the safety of the crib, and it should be capable of adjusting to various heights to accommodate your child as they develop. explanation is also recommended to avoid hanging objects, such as curtains or blind strings, as these present an opportunity for strangulation for your baby. Check your crib for loose or missing items and replace them if necessary. Some cribs come with the option of a side panel that could be lifted but it won't be down for long. These are ideal for parents who wish to sleep with their children without the dangers of bed-sharing, but be sure you're in a space that is away from windows and radiators and that your baby isn't too close to the window or curtain sill. If you're looking for a crib that is environmentally friendly, consider one made of wood from sustainable forests. It's also a good idea to choose a crib that's Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed a test for low chemical emissions. If you're looking for something even more durable, consider a crib made of sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA chemical compounds, BPA-based chemicals phthalates and other chemicals. Style Whether you're working with a classic or minimalist style for your nursery, choosing an attractive crib is a must. The SnuzPod4 fits well in smaller spaces due to its slim and sleek. It also has a lower mattress setting and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. One of our testers, Mother & Baby Editor Maria Martin, says the crib is "up there with the best-looking ones we've seen even in a sea of grey!" The classic high-back crib for babies is made of solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety contemporary colors that can be matched to any aesthetic. It's heavier than other cribs that we evaluated, but is sturdy enough to last through the age of toddler and beyond. Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some other cribs, and you won't have a view of your little one from all four sides. It also takes more space in the nursery compared to some of our other top choices. It's a great choice for small spaces but its unique design makes it difficult to find bedding and sheets. It's also heavier than our other choices and will need to be disassembled to fit through doorways that are standard when moving it from room to room. Standard cribs are constructed of wood, like maple or oak, ash, cherry, mahogany or birch. They are typically more long-lasting than other materials and can withstand nicks and dings better than soft pine. But be aware that some manufacturers use pine instead of hardwoods that are more durable because it's less expensive. This could make the crib more vulnerable to dent and scratches, which could require more frequent cleaning. A standard crib will include an infant rail to prevent your child from falling out or climbing. Remember that a lot of cribs for toddlers require you to buy a separate toddler bed rail. Convertibility When it comes to choosing a crib, there are a lot of things to consider. You have to consider the size, style and slat style, as well as whether it's convertible or not. It's crucial to choose a crib that you like since it will be with your baby for a long time. You should also choose a crib to fit in with the style of your home, no matter if it's modern or traditional. A convertible crib will expand with your baby, turning into a toddler bed, then to a full-size bed. This will save money over time because you won't have to buy an additional bed for your child. There are many different convertible cribs available, but some stand out better than others. One example is the Graco Benton 5in1 convertible crib. It's GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means it meets or exceeds federal safety standards for construction and finish. It also has three adjustable height settings for the mattress and an extremely low profile, making it easy to get your baby out of the crib. It's easy to put together this crib and takes less than 15 minutes using a cordless driver/drill. The DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib is also a excellent option. This crib is a good value and is GREENGUARD Gold certified. It is a classic design and can be made into an infant bed, daybed or a full-size bed by the purchase of separate conversion kits. This crib is also simple to put together and has a low-profile that allows it to be easily reached into and out of for short parents. The last crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is an excellent alternative for minimalists who wish to keep their nursery design simple and simple. It's a stylish and affordable crib that can be outfitted as an adult bed or a full-size bed with the purchase of an optional rail and kit. This crib was built in Italy using environmentally friendly manufacturing methods. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and designed to be used alongside the brand's mattresses that are free of toxic substances. Budget A good crib must be built with strength and easy assembly instructions that allow for the installation process being relatively easy. And a design that is compatible with the decor of your nursery is important. Cribs can run the gamut in terms of price, but there are models that will fit into any budget. For example, the top-rated Stokke Sleepi Bed is one of the most flexible options on the market. It can be used as a bassinet, crib or a toddler bed and can also roll and rock to gently help your baby sleep or create an incline that is gentle for babies with reflux. The canopy and drape rod encase your child in a warm womb-like environment. It can also double as a portable play yard and provide your child with the security and comfort to nap on the go. The Oeuf Sparrow crib is another alternative that doesn't sacrifice style. It combines a contemporary design with sustainable materials. The solid wood and Baltic plywood crib made of birch is made sustainably in Europe to last for generations (and can be passed down from siblings) and is compliant with all CPSC safety standards, which include no drop-sides or decorative cutouts that could catch clothing. It does not have rough or sharp edges, and is easily dressed by a sheet. Some parents might prefer a minimal crib to complement their contemporary or modern home, while others might prefer a more stately design that suits the room's decor. If your preference falls into the latter you should consider the Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib. This stylish model converts from a bassinet to a mini crib and then to a full-sized crib, all without bars or mattresses, so you'll have less mess to clean up. If you're a parent who isn't into fussiness, opt for the less cluttered and more elegant cribs. The Union 3-in-1 crib as well as the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the pieces you'll need to allow your baby to become a toddler, but they're more of a traditional look than some other models, like the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 or the Dream on Me Ashton 5-in-1.
