Choosing the Best Crib

Choose a crib that you love. It will be part of your nursery for many years. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your child might get into, and choose an option that is able to be converted to a toddler bed or daybed.

Safety

We want to give our children the best start in life. This starts with a crib that is safe. It's not necessary to have an infant crib with lots of missing or loose pieces or is one that isn't up to current safety standards. If you're buying a brand new crib, make sure you look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure it meets the most important safety requirements.

The slats of a crib should be spaced evenly so that children cannot catch their heads or fingers in them. They should also not include any decorative cutouts or other embellishments which could result in injury. The mattress support system, which is crucial to the safety of your crib must be adjustable to various levels so that it can expand with your child.

You'll also want to avoid hanging objects like curtains or blind strings, since they pose an opportunity for strangulation for your infant. Check your crib for loose or missing items and replace them if they are damaged.

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

If you're seeking a crib that is eco-friendly, think about one made from wood sourced from sustainable forests. It's important to select a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed a test for low chemical emissions. If you're looking for something more durable, consider a crib made of sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA, BPA-based chemicals, phthalates and other chemical compounds.

Style

If you're looking to create an elegant or classic nursery, a chic crib will be a great option. The SnuzPod4 fits well in small spaces because it is slim and sleek.

It also takes up more square footage in the nursery than our other top picks.

It's a good choice for smaller spaces, but its unique design makes it difficult to find sheets and bedding. It's also more bulkier than our other choices and will need to be disassembled in order to fit through doorways that are standard when moving it from room to room.

Standard cribs are usually made from wood, such as maple, oak, ash, mahogany, cherry, or birch. They are more durable than other materials, and resist nicks and dings much better than soft pine.

Another plus to a standard crib is that it usually includes a toddler rail, which will help to keep your child safe from falling down and climbing. However, be aware that many cribs for toddlers require you to purchase a separate toddler bed rail for added security.
