Buying a Great Crib

A high-quality crib is essential part of any nursery. Parents are looking for cribs that comply with strict safety regulations.

They also want a bed that is stylish and easy to assemble. Other factors to consider are whether it comes with multiple mattress height positions and can be converted to a daybed or toddler bed.

Aesthetics

The best cribs will have a design that is in harmony with the decor of your nursery. They also feature a timeless design that won't change as your child grows. While some may prefer a contemporary style, others may want something more traditional. You can pick from a range of colors and finishes to complement the style of your nursery. Certain cribs come with additional characteristics that set them from the rest of the cribs.

For instance the Evolur is made of a breathable mesh that enhances the airflow and breathability. Parents have reported that the Evolur helped keep their babies at an ideal temperature for their babies to sleep and nap. It has six mattress heights to suit a variety of sleeping preferences. It can be tilted for colic and reflux. Its minimalist design makes this an ideal choice for smaller nurseries. It is more expensive than some other alternatives.

The DaVinci Jayden is a stylish crib. This solid wood crib is GreenGuard Gold Certified and can convert into a toddler bed, daybed or headboard with the purchase of separate conversion kits. It comes with a high-back design, as well as furniture options such as changing tables and dressers. This crib's shorter sides are perfect for parents who are smaller and don't want to reach over the rails in order to get their child.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed is another multi-purpose option. It can be used as a bassinet, crib or toddler bed. The circular shape creates a space like a womb for your baby. It is also equipped with wheels and a small size, making it easy to move throughout the house or from room to room. Its minimalist design means that you don't require a lot of blankets or toys and the accessories can be used to hang a mobile or canopy.

The Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib is another excellent crib for a small nursery. It has a sleek, simple design that looks clean. It also has a mattress that is extra wide. However, it's pricier than other cribs and requires an additional toddler conversion kit. It has a lot exposed hardware that some parents may find distracting.

Safety

When purchasing a crib it is essential to think about the level of safety that the crib is. It may seem trivial however, every aspect of the crib's design has to be designed with safety in mind. For instance, slats should not be more than 3/8" apart (about the size of soda-cans) and the corners shouldn't exceed the top rail of the mattress support. Furthermore, there shouldn't be any cutouts with decorative designs that can cause a baby's arms or head to become caught. It is recommended to opt for new products that comply with current safety standards, although should you choose to use secondhand equipment, make sure it's not been recalled and adheres to all guidelines set by the manufacturer.

Send in the product registration cards that are included with baby equipment and cribs to be notified when a recall occurs. It's also an excellent idea to be aware of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich maneuver in the event of emergency.

Additionally, when choosing a crib, be careful not to place plush toys or other soft objects in it with the baby. These items can suffocate infants and increase the risk of SIDS. The crib should not have any bumpers or pillow, as these can lead to death by suffocation.





You should also choose cribs that have four or two height settings. This is so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows, to prevent them from getting out of the crib or getting injured when they fall while trying to stand up or crawl. The mattress support is typically set at the highest point for babies. However it is recommended to lower it as your child grows.

It is also a great idea to check the crib regularly for any broken or loose metal hardware. Bolts and nail can get loose over time. It is important to inspect them on a regular basis.

Simple Assembly

The easiest cribs to assemble are those that feature frame-and-panel construction for three sides of the crib as well as bars on the front. This design allows for simple woodworking and doesn't need any complicated joinery or specialty hardware. If you're a handyman, this type of crib can be painted or stain. The most important thing to keep in mind when assembling a crib to follow the instructions thoroughly. If you don't follow a step or a step, it could compromise your baby's safety. The instructions that come with most cribs are typically extremely specific. However you can conduct a quick search on internet to find out more about the crib you have.

When choosing a crib, it is crucial to think about the ease with which it can be moved. The majority of cribs are too big to pass through doors that are standard. You'll need to disassemble them to move them from one place to another. This can be a pain and cause frustration, particularly when you're trying get your child asleep.

If you're seeking a crib that has wheels or a standing, then you should look for one. These options will make it easier to move the crib from one room to another and keep it clean and safe.

Cost

There are cribs available that are affordable.
