How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable one can feel overwhelming especially when you consider the many various styles and security concerns.

Choose a crib that meets the most stringent safety standards and has no dangling or chewable components. We also recommend a sleek crib with a variety of mattress heights as well as a sleek, modern design.

Safety

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

The best cribs for babies are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They're also designed to be durable and convertible, meaning they'll grow with your child.

It is essential to select a crib that meets current safety standards, no matter if you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Used cribs can lose structural integrity over time due to humidity, age and heavy use. This could pose serious risks to your baby.

It is also advisable to avoid using cribs that were used by children or pets, as their safety might be at risk. Also, 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 security reasons.

Style

While all cribs have to meet strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some are purely aesthetic, like whether the slats are all the same length or placed closer together, while others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to use and maintain.
