It isn't easy to pick the best crib, given so many designs and safety concerns. + +Find a crib that meets the most stringent safety standards, including no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a crib with a broad choice of mattress heights and a sleek design that matches your style. + +Safety + +Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when placing and assembling your child's crib. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, 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 fall between your baby's crib bars or get trapped in them. They could also be swallowed by the mattress. + +The best cribs for babies are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. Furthermore, they're tested by a third-party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certs!). They're designed to be sustainable and adaptable, so they can grow with your child. + +It's crucial to choose a crib that meets current safety standards, regardless of whether you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and heavy use, posing grave dangers to your child. + +The slats on your crib should not be longer than 2-3/8 inch (6 centimeters) and the hardware should be secure. It's also a good idea to examine the slats and the rims of the mattress support for broken or loose parts. + +It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, as their safety may be at risk. Finally, don't purchase or purchase a secondhand crib that has the drop side rail which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to reasons of safety. + +Style + +There are a lot of different designs of cribs, despite the fact that they all must meet safety standards. Some are purely aesthetic, like whether the slats are identical in length or are spaced closer together, while others have a real impact on the ease of the crib to use and maintain. Certain features, such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are desirable for many parents. + +A crib isn't designed to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's intended to be a place where babies can sleep. You can also put a crib in your registry to receive assistance from family and friends when you need one. + +Cribs are available in many different styles, but we prefer those that combine style with functionality. For example, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and stylish. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified, which we think is a must for any product that is non-toxic. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler by converting it with a separate kit. + +Some cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It is a stylish option that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes up more floor space when compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. Additionally, it has only three levels of mattress height, which is less than half of the alternatives and isn't as sturdy as some of our other picks. + +The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern aesthetic. Its concealed hardware and all-round mesh increase airflow and make it easier to see your baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be raised to a higher height to help reduce colic and reflux which makes it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's important to note, however, that it's more expensive than our other top selections and requires a toddler bed conversion kit. + +Adjustable Mattress Height + +It is crucial that your baby's crib mattress is of the correct height. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which could be dangerous or fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from heat exhaustion or suffocation. + +A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats which allow you to raise or lower it as your child grows. A conversion kit is included in the majority of cribs, so that you can convert it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed after your child has outgrown the crib. In the end, it's a good idea to choose a crib that has been tested and approved by a third-party organization to ensure safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee the crib of your baby is free of chemicals or finishes. + +The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib is one of the most highly-rated cribs available, and it's simple to put together and features a simple layout that doesn't contain any confusing parts or pieces. The sides of the crib are a bit shorter than many other models however, one user stated that her baby was comfortable in it and remained in good shape when she passed it on to a friend after her second child. + +Another option that is worth considering is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which is a unique oval-shaped design that gives it a contemporary appearance. It's more expensive than the majority of cribs, but it is durable and has a number of options to make up the price. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or a toddler bed, and it is able to be moved on wheels, making it easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be utilized to create a womb-like environment for your baby. It also adds an elegant touch to any nursery. + +The only drawback to this crib is that it doesn't come with an additional mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that will adapt to your child's needs as they go from newborn to toddler. + +No Dangling or Chewable Components + +The most secure cribs are free of chewable or dangling components. If something is hung above or below their crib, it could cause the rails to be pulled or create a strangulation risk. Babies are very grabby. If parents decide to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they need to make sure that the items are securely secured and are out of Baby's reach. + +We also examine how easy it is to build our top cribs for infants. The crib should be easy enough to put together yourself without requiring special tools or spending a long amount of time. The majority of parents say that assembling a modern crib takes less than an hour, and the included instructions are usually clear and easy to follow. + +It's important that you choose the right crib that will last for many years. Select a crib that is able to be converted from a crib into an adult bed, and later a full-size mattress. + +Our top pick for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib which can be used as an infant bassinet during the first months, then convert into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed. It's made for long-term use and comes in a variety of colors which makes it easy to match with your nursery's theme. + +Stork Craft Equinox is another excellent alternative. This stunning, minimalist-style crib has a low profile that makes it easier for parents who are small to reach their child and calm their child. It also has a stellar reputation for quality and is available in white, cherry and espresso colors as well as natural pine colors. + +This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means it is made of sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also exceeds government standards such as ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing lacking is the toddler rail. You can buy it separately. This is an excellent option for those seeking a top-quality, affordable crib that will last. \ No newline at end of file
