How to Choose the Best Baby Cots Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most important pieces for 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 highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a sleek crib with a range of mattress heights and modern, sleek design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your child's crib. It is crucial to not place any items in the crib of your child that could potentially cause injury or harm, including pillows, blankets and sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items can easily fall into or get caught between your baby and the crib bars or they could be swallowed by the mattress.

The most suitable cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certificates!). And they are designed to be durable and flexible, allowing them to adapt to your child's needs.

No matter if you're buying new or used, it's important to choose cribs that meet the current stringent safety standards. Secondhand cribs may have their structural integrity weakened due to age, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose grave dangers to your child.

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

It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety may be at risk. Finally, don't purchase or buy an older crib that has an incline side rail, which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to reasons of safety.

Style

There are a variety of different designs of cribs, despite the fact that they all must be safe to use standards. Some differences are purely cosmetic, like whether the slats all have the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others could impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used and others, like adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

A crib is not meant to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's intended to be a place where babies can sleep. You can also include the crib on your registry to receive help from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs are available in a variety of different styles, but we prefer those that combine style with functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks great. It's also GREENGUARD gold certified and we believe that is essential for any product that is non-toxic. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler by converting it with a separate kit.

Other cribs have an older-style look, such as the DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots-in-1. It's a stylish choice that can fit in large nurseries. However, it occupies more floor space compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. It only has three levels of mattress, which is half the number offered by competitors. It's not as durable as our other choices.

Another option with modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and make it easier to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be raised to a higher position to help reduce colic and reflux which makes it suitable for babies from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's important to note that this bed is more expensive than other top choices and requires an additional conversion kit for toddler best cot beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

When your baby is sleeping in their crib, it is important that the mattress is the right level. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which could be risky or even fatal. A higher mattress can also safeguard your child from suffocation or overheating.

A good crib should come with adjustable rails or slats that permit you to raise or lower it as your baby grows. A conversion kit is provided with the majority of cribs so that you can convert it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed once your child outgrows the crib. It is an excellent idea to pick a crib which has been certified and tested by a third-party organisation. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is free of chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib features simple design and doesn't have confusing parts. It is one of the most highly-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are shorter than many other models, but one parent tester said that her child slept well in it and was still in good shape when she gave it to a friend following the birth of her second child.

Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which has a unique oval shape that gives it a modern look. It's a little more expensive than other cribs, however its quality and features are worth it. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet or toddler bed. It also is able to be moved on wheels, making it easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be used to create an atmosphere that resembles a womb for your baby. It adds a fashionable accent to any nursery.

This crib is not equipped with a mattress. You'll have to purchase one separately. It's a safe, comfortable crib that can adapt to your child's needs as they go from newborn to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Components

The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or hanging components. If something is hung over or below the crib, this could cause the rails to pull or cause strangulation. Babies can be very grabbing. If parents decorate their crib with toys or decorative objects, they should make sure the items are secured tightly and aren't within reach of Baby.

We also examine how it is easy to build our top cribs for infants. The crib should be easy enough to assemble by yourself, without requiring special tools or a large amount of time. The majority of parents say it takes less than an hour to assemble the modern crib, and the instructions are generally simple to follow.

A crib is an important purchase for many new parents, and it is essential to choose one that will last for a long time to come. For long-lasting use, choose a convertible crib that can be used from the time of infancy all the way up to the toddler best cot bed, and then an adult-sized bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for convertible cribs that can be used as a bassinet in the early years and later converted into an infant bed, a daybed, or a larger bed. It's designed to last and is available in a variety of colors so that you can match it with your nursery's theme.

Stork Craft Equinox is another great option. This stunning, minimalist-style crib is low-profile, so petite parents can touch their child to calm them. It also has a stellar reputation for quality and comes in cherry, white espresso, natural pine colors.

This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified for finish quality and environmental safety, and it's made from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine that is free of harmful substances such as lead and phthalates (BPA). It also exceeds government standards such as ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing lacking is the toddler rail. You can purchase it separately. This is a great option for those looking for a high-quality affordable crib that will last.
