Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport Cot Bed will look stunning in a Scandi nursery. It is also very flexible, as it has three different mattress support heights. It also can be converted into a toddler's bed.

Bassinets are a better choice for those with a small cot beds home. Cribs can take up a lot more space. Many parents prefer a crib for security reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and well-being. It is important to ensure that the crib is in compliance with current safety standards and is free of any hazards that may cause harm to your child as they sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, without loose parts that could get caught on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to regularly inspect the crib.

Be sure to measure the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to avoid your baby falling over or getting their limbs caught between them. You should be capable of seeing and reaching your child in the crib. If you're not, the slats are too close together and should be wider.

The mattress support system is a different aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It should be adjustable to different heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will reduce the risk that your baby will climb out of the crib when they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to consider include an upholstered sheet that fits the mattress with ease and solid and stable construction. Select a crib that has fixed sides instead of one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. You should also sleep in the same room as your baby until they are old enough to sleep alone.

Finally, you should make sure that the crib is positioned away from windows and radiators, and that any dangling objects like blind cords or curtains are not within reach. Also, you should remove anything that could create danger of choking like pillows or blankets. Be wary of purchasing second-hand cribs because they may not have met the current safety standards or been recalled for different reasons.

Design

It is crucial to remember that cribs may look the same but must still meet the strict safety standards. To this end, the majority cribs we looked at have a similar design to ensure consistency of structural integrity. Most cribs feature circular bars with no gaps or rough surfaces that could trap babies or pinch them. We also assessed and rated each crib based on the ease of put together and use. More parts can lead to more confusion, so we recommend choosing one that has simple instructions to minimize frustration.

The Evolur Sprout crib is among our top picks. It has a stylish, contemporary design and comes in a range of colors, including two-toned options. It also has a universal mattress fitting, and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having minimal volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. The crib is sleek, modern and minimal in appearance. It's ideal for modern nurseries. The crib comes in different finishes and four different mattress heights, so your baby can use it as a toddler or newborn. The crib was sturdy and stable. It did not move or squeak when a big child was seated.

Convertible cribs are an excellent option if you plan to have more children. These cribs can be converted into a bed for a toddler and then into a full-size mattress, offering excellent value for price. The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is a prime example of a convertible crib that received high marks from our parents who tested it. Many of them said that the side rails that drop down made feeding at night easier and safer, and that the crib was roomy enough for the baby to feel at ease while dad and mom were asleep.

The Colby 4-in-1 from the Carter's by DaVinci is an excellent option for those who prefer the traditional style. This crib is less expensive than the Stork Craft and has a timeless design that is suitable for all nursery. It comes with three different mattress heights however certain parents and toddlers may consider it too shallow.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can be useful for infants. Spit-up from babies and diaper leaks can cause mattresses to become dirty and damp and result in mildew or bacteria that could be harmful to infants. Find a mattress cover that can be cleaned with a cloth or scrubbed with mild cleaner. You should also select a mattress cover that is waterproof to stop liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health issues.

Find a mattress that is rated for up to 10 years so it is suitable for toddlers. Many of the mattresses we've discussed here are reversible with infant and toddler side. This allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is ready for their own bed size.

A mattress that is firm for the crib is best, as it will support their spines while they are developing. A firm sleeping surface will also lower the chance of SIDS. This is due to the fact that an extremely soft mattress increases the chance that a baby's head will sink into it.

If you are in search of a mattress for your crib that is firm be sure to check the label to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat to infants. You'll also see certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR-US, GOTS, and CertiPUR-US which are a good indicator that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can harm infants their nervous and respiratory systems.

Another consideration is the weight of a crib mattress. Regular nighttime sheet changes require that you move and lift the mattress. If you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or aren't able to carry a heavy item, consider choosing a mattress that is lighter for your crib. Newton Wovenaire, for example is only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness weighs 20 lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses in this review. It is also made of foam instead of inners with woven-core that makes it easier to maneuver in comparison to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more.

Assembly

New parents will appreciate a crib that's easy to assemble. You should choose a crib with firmly-secured hardware, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby. Beware of cribs with drop-sides or cutouts for headboards and footboards as they aren't compatible with the current safety standards.

If you decide to purchase a convertible crib, you'll have to purchase an additional kit to convert it into an adult bed. These kits are sold separately by a majority of manufacturers. They're typically cheap baby cots for sale, and they'll help your child transition into a bigger bed more seamlessly.

Many new parents appreciate the long-lasting quality that comes with a convertible crib and are a great crib choice for families with several children. They are designed to last, and generally can be transformed into an infant bed, daybed, or full-size bed.

The DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 Crib is a solid wood crib that's GREENGUARD Gold Certified and has four mattress-level heights. It's available in slate grey or white to complement any nursery decor. The crib has locks that let you easily move it from room to room and can fit the majority of standard twin mattresses. The crib took our testers just 23 minutes to assemble.

The Sprout Crib, another top-rated crib, is made of sustainable harvested Baltic birch. It is compliant with all U.S. safety standards, in addition to the standards of Australia, Canada and Europe. It also features a chic, minimalist design that won't be a problem with any bedroom decor.

A runner-up in our testing, the Oeuf Modern Crib is built with sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine. It has won numerous awards from parenting magazines like BabyCenter and Babble. It has a moderate-height profile, and it converts from an infant crib into a toddler bed with rail, or to a daybed without the rail. It's simple to put together and has lots of appeal. However, the thin finish is prone to scratches when used regularly.
