Choosing the Best Crib

Choose a crib that you like. It will be in your nursery for a long time. Avoid cribs with cutouts and drop-sides as your child may fall into. Instead, pick an option that can easily be transformed into a daybed or toddler.

Safety

We want to give our children the best start in life. This begins with a crib that is safe. You shouldn't use cribs that have a lot loose or missing pieces and you shouldn't choose one that isn't in line with current safety standards. If you're purchasing a new crib, be sure to look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure it is up to the highest safety standards.

The slats of a crib should be spaced evenly so that children cannot catch their fingers or heads in the slats. They should also not contain any cutouts with decorative designs or other ornaments that could cause injury. The mattress support system, which is vital to the safety of your crib, should be adjustable to different heights to allow it to adapt to the needs of your child.

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

Some cribs come with a side panel that can be removed. However, it will not stay down for very long. They are ideal for parents who don't want to share a bed. Make sure to place your crib away from windows and radiators.

If you are seeking a green crib, choose one constructed from sustainable forests. It is also recommended to choose a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified. This means that it has passed a series of tests to ensure that there are no emissions of chemicals. If you're looking for something better, choose a crib made from sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA, BPA-based chemicals, phthalates, and other chemicals.

Style

If you're planning to work with an elegant or minimalist style for your nursery, choosing a stylish crib is essential. The SnuzPod4 is slim and sleek which makes it a perfect choice for small spaces. It also has a lower mattress setting and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. Maria Martin, Mother & Baby's Editor, claimed that the crib was "up there with the most attractive cribs we've seen, even among a sea grey!"

This classic high-back baby crib is made from solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a range of modern colors that will match any style. It's heavier than other cribs we've evaluated, but is sturdy enough to last until the toddler years 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 occupies more square footage in the nursery than some of our other top cribs.

It's a great option for small spaces, however its unique design makes it difficult to find bedding and sheets. It's also heavier than some of our other choices and will probably need to be disassembled to fit through standard doors in order to move from room space.

Standard cribs are usually made from wood, like maple or oak, ash, cherry, mahogany, or birch. They tend to be more long-lasting than other materials and can withstand damage better than soft pine. However, be aware of the fact that certain manufacturers use pine instead of more durable hardwoods since it's less expensive. This could make the crib more vulnerable to dent and scratches, which may require more frequent cleaning.

cots and tots will also include an infant rail to prevent your child from falling or climbing. Be aware that a lot of cribs for toddlers require the purchase of a separate toddler bed rail.





Convertibility

There are many things to think about when choosing the right crib. It is important to think about the size, style, and slat style, as well as whether it's convertible or not. It's crucial to choose the crib you love since it will be with your baby for many years. You should also choose the crib that will go with the decor of your home, regardless of whether it's modern or traditional.

A convertible crib is an excellent choice because it will grow with your child until it becomes a toddler bed, and later into a full-size bed. This will save you money in the long run because you don't have to buy a separate bed for your child.

There are numerous convertible cribs available however, some stand out better than others. The Graco Benton 5-in-1 convertible crib is a good example. It's GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means that it meets or exceeds government safety standards for construction and finishing. Additionally, it comes with three height settings that can be adjusted and an extremely low profile, making it easy to move your baby in and out of the crib. It is also easy to build in less than 15 minutes using a cordless drill/driver.

Another good option is the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib. It is GREENGUARD certified Gold and a great deal. It is a classic crib that can be converted into an infant bed or a daybed. It is also easy to assemble and has a low profile that makes it easy to reach in and out of for smaller parents.

The final crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is a great option for minimalists who want to keep their nursery design simple and tidy. It's a stylish, affordable crib that can be transformed as a toddler bed or full-size bed with the purchase of an optional rail and kit. The crib is manufactured in Italy and employs eco-friendly manufacturing techniques. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified and specifically designed to work together with the brand's mattresses that are free of toxics.

Budget

A good crib will have a sturdy structure, and simple assembly instructions. This will make the installation relatively painless. A chic design that complements your nursery decor is important. There are many different cribs available to be purchased at different prices.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed, for instance, is among the most flexible options available that are available. It can be set up as a bassinet, crib, or a toddler bed. It also has the ability to rock and roll to gently soothe your baby to sleep or create an incline that is gentle for babies who have reflux. The add-on drape rod and canopy envelop your child in a warm womb-like environment. It can also be used as a portable play space and provides your child with a secure and comfortable space to rest when on the move.

The Oeuf Sparrow crib is another alternative that doesn't sacrifice style. It blends a modern style with eco-friendly materials. The solid Birch and Baltic birch wood plywood crib is made sustainably in Europe and can be passed down to children. It is compliant with all CPSC standards and doesn't have drop-sides, decorative cutouts or sharp edges that could snag clothing. It is easy to dress with sheets and is free of sharp edges.

Some parents prefer a minimalist crib to complement their contemporary or modern home. Some prefer a more elegant design that is in keeping with the interior decor of the room. If you fall in the latter category 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 a fan of excessive fussiness, consider a crib that is less cluttered and more clean visually. The Union 3-in-1 and Babyletto Hudson cribs both have all the pieces you need to help your baby grow into a toddler. However, they have a more traditional look as compared to other models, such as the Storkcraft Equinox 3 in 1 or the Dream on Me Ashton 5 in 1.
