How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most essential pieces of your baby's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the ideal crib, due to numerous styles and safety concerns.

Search for a crib with the most stringent safety standards, including no chewable or dangling components. We also suggest a crib with a broad choice of mattress heights and a sleek design that complements your style.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib, make sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm in the nursery of your Baby Cot Bed. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. They could get caught between the crib bars or get trapped in them. They could also be taken in by the mattress.

The most suitable cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, toxic chemicals and other harmful substances. They also adhere to strict federal and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for safety and quality (think GREENGAURD gold or Baby Cot ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certifications!). They're also designed to be tough and convertible, meaning they'll grow with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's essential to choose a crib that is in line with the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs can have their structural integrity weakened due to age, humidity and heavy use, posing serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should not be longer than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters), and the hardware should be secure. Examine the slats, mattress support rims, and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It's also wise to avoid using cribs that have been used by other children and/or pets, as their safety could have been compromised. Finally, don't purchase or accept an older crib that has an incline side rail, which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to reasons of safety.

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some differences are purely aesthetic, such as the slats have the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others could affect how easy it is to clean and use the crib. Some features like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.
