Choosing the Best Crib

Pick a crib you like. It will be part of your nursery for a long time. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides, since your child might fall in. Instead, opt for an option that is easily converted into a daybed or toddler.

Safety

As parents, we want to give our babies the best start in life, and that begins with a safe crib. You shouldn't use an old crib that could contain a number of loose or missing parts, cot beds and you do not want one that isn't conforming to the current safety standards. If you're buying a new crib, look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure it meets the most important safety standards.

The crib's slats should be positioned to ensure that children don't get their heads or fingers in the slats. They should not contain any cutouts with decorative designs or other decorations that could cause injuries. A mattress support system is essential to ensure the safety of your crib and must be adjustable to different heights to accommodate your child as they develop.

It is also recommended to avoid dangling objects such as blind strings or curtains, since they pose a strangulation risk for your child. Be sure to check your crib for missing or loose items and replace them if they are damaged.

Some cribs have an additional side panel that can be moved down. However, it will not stay down for very long. They are great for parents who wish to sleep with their children without the dangers of bed sharing, but make sure that you're positioned 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 which is eco-friendly, think about one made of wood from sustainable forests. It's recommended to select a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed tests to ensure low chemical emissions. If you're looking for something even 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 an elegant crib is essential. The SnuzPod4 can be used in small spaces because it is slim and sleek. 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 most beautiful cribs we've seen, even in a sea of grey!"

This classic high-back baby crib is constructed from solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety of modern colors that will match any aesthetic. It's heavier than other cribs that we've tried, but it's sturdy enough to get 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 as compared to our other top picks.

While it's a great option for smaller spaces, its unique design can be difficult to find bedding and sheets for. It's also more bulkier than our other picks and will require to be disassembled in order to pass through doors that are standard when moving it from room to room.

Standard cribs are usually constructed of wood, like maple or oak, ash, mahogany, cherry, or birch. They are typically more durable than other materials and resist scratches and dings better than soft pine. However, be aware of the fact that certain manufacturers use pine instead of hardwoods that are more durable because it's cheaper. This can make the crib more prone to scratches and dent, which could require more frequent cleaning.

Another plus to the standard crib is that it usually comes with a toddler rail which will ensure your child's safety from falling down and climbing. But keep in mind that a lot of cribs designed for toddlers will require you to purchase a separate toddler bed rail for added safety.

Convertibility

When it comes to selecting a crib, there are numerous things to consider. It is important to think about size, style and slat style, as well as whether it's convertible or not. It is essential to pick the crib you love since it will be there for your baby for a long time. It is also important to select a crib that is a good fit into your home's decor, whether that be modern or traditional.

A convertible crib will expand with your baby, turning into a toddler bed, and eventually a full size bed. This will save you money in the end since you don't have to buy a mattress for your child.
