Choosing the Best Crib

A crib will be a major feature in your nursery for a long time and it's essential to choose a crib you enjoy admiring. Avoid cribs with cutouts and drop-sides, since your child could fall in. Instead, pick full report that can easily be transformed into a toddler or daybed.

Safety

As parents, we want to give our children the best start in life, and it starts with a safe crib. You shouldn't use an infant crib with many missing or loose pieces and you shouldn't choose one that doesn't meet current safety standards. If you're purchasing a new crib, make sure you look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure it is in compliance with the most stringent safety requirements.

The slats of a crib must be closely spaced so that children do not get their heads or fingers in them. They should not contain any cutouts with decorative designs or other embellishments which could cause injury. The mattress support system, which is vital to the security of your crib, must be adjustable to various heights to allow it to expand with your child.

Avoid dangling items such as blind strings or curtains, as they can strangle your baby. Check your crib for missing or loose items and replace them if necessary.

Some cribs have the option of a side panel that could be lifted but it won't be down for long. They are ideal for parents who don't want to share a bed. Make sure to keep your crib away from radiators and windows.

If you're looking for a crib that is eco-friendly, think about one made from wood from sustainable forests. You should also consider a crib that has been Greenguard Gold Certified. This means that it has passed a series of tests to ensure low chemical emissions. If you're looking for something more durable, consider a crib that is made from sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA and 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 is sleek and slim which makes it a perfect choice for small spaces. It also has a lower mattress setting and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. One of our test subjects, Mother & Baby Editor Maria Martin, says the crib is "up there with the best-looking ones we've seen, even in the midst of grey!"


This classic high-back crib is made from solid New Zealand pinewood and comes in a variety of contemporary colors that will match any style. It's heavier than other cribs that we've examined, but it's strong enough to make it through toddlerhood 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.

While a good option for smaller spaces, its unique design can be difficult to find sheets and other bedding for. It's also heavier than the other options and will need to be disassembled to pass through doors that are standard when moving it from room to room.

Standard cribs are usually constructed from wood, such as maple oak, ash mahogany, cherry, or birch. They are more durable than other materials, and they resist scratches and dings better than soft pine. However, be aware of the fact that certain manufacturers make use of pine instead of more durable hardwoods since it's less expensive. This can make a crib susceptible to scratches and dents and may require more frequent cleaning.

Another benefit of a standard crib is that it typically includes a toddler rail, which will help keep your child safe from climbing and falling out. Remember that a lot of cribs designed for toddlers will require you to purchase an additional toddler bed rail.

Convertibility

When you are deciding on 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 used by your baby for many years. You should also pick the crib that will go with the decor of your home, regardless of whether it's traditional or modern.

A convertible crib is an excellent choice because it will grow with your child to a toddler bed and then to a larger bed. This will save you money in the long run because you won't need to buy a separate mattress for your child.

There are a variety of convertible cribs on the market however, certain models stand out more than others. The Graco Benton 5-in-1 convertible crib is a good example. It's GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means it is in compliance with or exceeds the government safety standards for construction and finishing. It also comes with three mattress settings that can be adjusted and a low-profile design that allows you to easily take your child into and out of it. This crib is also relatively easy to put together, taking less than 15 minutes using the use of a cordless drill/driver.

Another option is the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib. This crib is an excellent value and GREENGUARD Gold Certified. It is a classic crib that could be converted into a toddler bed or daybed. It is also easy to put together and has a low-profile that makes it easy to reach to and out for small parents.

The final crib on our list, the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is perfect for minimalists looking to keep their room simple and clean. It's a stylish and affordable crib that can be outfitted to become a toddler bed or full-size bed with the purchase of an optional rail and kit. The crib was manufactured in Italy with environmentally-friendly manufacturing methods. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and is designed to be used alongside the brand's mattresses that are free of toxic substances.

Budget

A crib that is of good quality should have sturdy construction and easy assembly instructions that lead to an easy and painless installation. A stylish design that matches your nursery decor is important. There are numerous models of cribs that can be purchased at different costs.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed, for example, is one of the most versatile options that are available. It can be used as a bassinet, crib, or as a toddler bed. It can also rock gently to help your baby sleep or create a gentle slope for reflux babies. The add-on canopy and drape rod encase your child in a warm baby-like womb. It could also serve as a portable play area, giving your child a comfortable and secure place to nap on the go.

The Oeuf Sparrow crib is another alternative that doesn't sacrifice style. It combines a contemporary aesthetic with sustainable materials. The solid birch and Baltic plywood crib made of birch is sustainably made in Europe to last 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 snag clothing. It has no rough or sharp edges and can easily be dressed by a sheet.

Some parents prefer a simple crib that matches their contemporary or modern home. Others may prefer a more refined design that matches the decor of the room. If your preference falls into the latter category look into the Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib. The elegantly designed model can be converted from a bassinet to mini cribs and later to a full crib all without adding bars or mattresses, so you'll have less mess to clean up.

If you're a parent who's not interested in fussiness, go for the more simple and clean-looking cribs. The Union 3-in-1 crib as well as the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the components you require for your baby to become an adult, but they have a more traditional style than other models, like the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 or the Dream on Me Ashton 5-in-1.
