Choosing the Best Crib

Choose a crib that you love. It will be in your nursery for a long time. Avoid any with cutouts or drop-sides that your child could get into, and select a design that can be easily converted into a toddler bed or daybed.

Safety

We want to give our children the best possible start in life. This starts with a crib that's safe. It's not necessary to have a crib that has many missing or loose pieces, nor do you want one that isn't in line with the current safety standards. If you're buying a brand new crib, look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure that it meets the most important safety standards.

The slats of a crib must be closely spaced so that children do not get their heads or fingers in them. They shouldn't have any decorative cutouts or other embellishments which could result in injury. A mattress support system is essential to ensure the safety of your crib and must be able to adjust to different heights to accommodate your child as they grow.

Avoid dangling items such as curtains or blinds because they could strangle your baby. It's a good idea check your crib regularly for loose or missing objects, and replace any that have become dislodged in the course of time.

Some cribs come with an additional side panel that can be lowered, but it won't stay in place for long. These are ideal for parents who want to co-sleep without the risks of bed-sharing, but make sure that you're positioned in a room free of windows and radiators and that your baby isn't too close to the window or curtain sill.

If you are seeking a green crib, select one made of wood from sustainable forests. You should also consider one that is Greenguard Gold Certified. This means it has passed tests to ensure that there are no emissions of chemicals. If you're looking to go a step further, look for a crib that's made from sustainably harvested New Zealand pine cots and tots is free of lead, Phthalates, BPA, and over 360 other VOCs and chemicals.

Style

If you're going for a minimal or classic style for your nursery, choosing a stylish crib is essential. The SnuzPod4 is sleek and slim which makes it a perfect choice for small spaces. It also has a lower mattress height setting and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified. One of our testers, Mother & Baby Editor Maria Martin, says the crib is "up there with the best baby Cots-looking ones we've seen even in a sea of grey!"

This classic high-back baby crib is made of solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety modern colors that match any aesthetic. It's heavier than the other cribs we evaluated, but is sturdy enough to last into 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 takes more space in the nursery when compared to some of our other top picks.

It's a great crib choice for small spaces but its unique design makes it difficult to find sheets and bedding. It's also a bit heavier than our other options and will probably require dismantling to fit through standard doors when moving from room to space.

Standard cribs are usually made from wood, like maple or oak, ash, mahogany, cherry or birch. They are more durable than other materials, and resist scratches and dings better than soft pine. Be aware that some manufacturers choose pine over harder hardwoods to save money. This can make a crib susceptible to scratches and dents, which may require more frequent cleaning.

A standard crib will also include a toddler rail to protect your child from falling or climbing. However, be aware that a lot of cribs designed for toddlers will require you to purchase a separate toddler bed rail for added security.

Convertibility

When you are deciding on a crib, there are numerous aspects to take into consideration. Consider the size, style, slats, and whether it's convertible. It's crucial to choose the crib you love since it will be used by your baby for many years. You should also choose a crib to fit in with the style of your home, regardless of whether it's modern or traditional.

A convertible crib will grow with your baby, turning into a toddler bed, then an adult size bed. This will save you money over the long term since you don't have to purchase a mattress for your child.

There are many different convertible cribs on the market, but 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 meets or exceeds federal safety standards for construction and finish. Additionally, it comes with three height settings that can be adjusted and an extremely low profile, making it easy to move your baby out and in of the crib. The crib is also easy to put together in less than 15 minutes using a cordless drill/driver.

The DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib is another good option. This crib is an excellent value and GREENGUARD Gold Certified. It is a classic crib that could be converted into an infant bed or a daybed. The crib is easy to put together and its low profile makes it easy for parents to get in and out.

The last crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is a great alternative for minimalists who wish to keep their nursery designs simple and simple. It's a stylish and inexpensive crib that can be outfitted as an adult bed or a full-size bed with the purchase of an optional rail and kit. This crib is made in Italy and is made using environmentally-friendly manufacturing methods. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified and designed to be used with the brand's toxic-free mattresses.

Budget

A crib that is of good quality will have a sturdy structure and straightforward assembly instructions that allow for the installation process being relatively easy. And a stylish design that is compatible with the decor of your nursery is essential. There are many different models of cribs that can be bought at various prices.

For example, the top-rated Stokke Sleepi Bed is one of the most flexible options on the market. It can be used as a bassinet or crib or a toddler bed. It can also rock gently to rock your baby to slumber or create an easy slope for babies who are reflux. The canopy and drape rod add-ons provide the baby with a cozy, womb-like atmosphere. It can even double as a play yard that can be carried around and provide your child with an incredibly comfortable and secure spot to nap on the go.

The Oeuf Sparrow crib is another option that does not sacrifice design. It combines a modern style with sustainable materials. The solid Birch and Baltic plywood crib made of birch is sustainably made in Europe to last for generations (and can be passed down from siblings) and meets all CPSC safety standards, including no cutouts with decorative edges or drop-sides that could catch clothing. It has no rough or sharp edges and is easily dressed with sheets.

Some parents prefer a minimalist crib to match their modern or contemporary home. Others may prefer a more elegant design that matches the décor of the room. If you fall into the latter group of parents, the Babyletto Hudson 3 in 1 crib is a fantastic choice. This beautiful model transforms from a bassinet to a mini-crib and then a full-size crib without the need for bars or mattresses.

If you're a parent who isn't a fan of excessive fussiness, consider a crib that is more simple and clean looking. The Union 3-in-1 crib sets as well as the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the parts you need to help your baby develop into a toddler, but they have a more traditional design than some models, like the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 or the Dream on Me Ashton 5-in-1.
