Choosing the Best Crib Choose a crib that you like. It will be part of your nursery for many years. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your little one might get into, and choose a design that is able to be converted into a toddler bed or daybed. Safety As parents, we want to give our children the best start in life, and that starts with a safe crib. You don't want to use an old crib that might contain a number of loose or damaged parts, and you certainly do not want one that isn't conforming to the current safety standards. When purchasing mini cotbed , make sure that it has CPSC, ASTM or JPMA certification. The slats of a crib should be tightly spaced so that children aren't getting their hands or heads in the slats, and they shouldn't have any cut-outs for decorative purposes or other embellishments that could create a risk. The mattress support system, which is crucial to the safety of your crib should be able to be adjusted to various heights so that it can grow with your child. It is also recommended to avoid hanging objects, such as blind strings or curtains, because they pose an opportunity for strangulation for your baby. It's a good idea to examine your crib frequently for loose or missing objects, and replace any that are loosened in the course of time. Some cribs come with a side panel that can be lowered. However, it will not stay down for very long. They are great for parents who wish to co-sleep without the risks of bed-sharing, but be sure you're in an area that is away from windows and radiators and that your baby isn't too close to the curtain or window sill. If you are seeking an eco-friendly crib, pick one that is made of sustainable forests. It's important to select a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed tests for low chemical emissions. If you want to go further, look for a crib that's made from sustainable sourced New Zealand pine and is free of lead, phthalates, BPA, and over 360 other VOCs and chemicals. Style If you're planning to work with a classic or minimalist nursery aesthetic, choosing an attractive crib is a must. The SnuzPod4 fits well in smaller spaces due to its slim and sleek. It is also GREENGUARD Certified and comes with the option of a lower-height mattress. One of our test participants, Mother & Baby Editor Maria Martin, says the crib is “up there with the best-looking ones we've seen even in the midst of grey!” The classic high-back crib for babies is made of solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety of modern colors that match any style. It's heavier than other cribs we've examined, but it's strong enough to last through toddler-graduation and beyond. Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some other cribs, and you won't have a view of your little one from all four sides. It also takes more space in the nursery when compared to our other top picks. It's a great choice for smaller spaces, but its unique design makes it difficult to find bedding and sheets. It's also bulkier than our other choices and will need to be disassembled to fit through doorways that are standard when moving it from room to room. Standard cribs are made of wood such as maple or oak. They can also be made of mahogany, cherry, birch or cherry. They are generally more long-lasting than other materials, and are resistant to damage better than soft pine. But be aware that some manufacturers use pine instead of more durable hardwoods since it's less expensive. This can make the crib more susceptible to dent and scratches, which may require more frequent cleaning. A standard crib will include a toddler rail to protect your child from falling or climbing. Be aware, however, that many cribs designed for toddlers require you to buy a separate toddler bed rail. Convertibility There are a lot of aspects to take into consideration when selecting the right crib. You have to consider the size, style, and slat type and whether it's convertible or not. It is crucial to choose a crib you love as it will be used by your baby for many years. You also want to choose the crib that fits to the decor of your home whether it's modern or traditional. A convertible crib will expand with your baby, becoming a toddler bed, and eventually a full size bed. This will save you money in the long run since you don't have to buy a separate mattress for your child. There are many different convertible cribs available However, certain models stand out more than others. One of them is the Graco Benton 5in1 convertible crib. It is GREENGUARD gold certified, which means it meets or exceeds government safety standards in construction and finish. It also has three mattress settings that can be adjusted and a low-profile design that makes it easier to take your child into and out of it. It is also easy to put together in less than 15 minutes using a cordless drill/driver. Another good option is the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib. It is GREENGUARD certified Gold and a great buy. It's a classic style and can be made into a toddler bed, daybed, or full-size bed with the purchase of separate conversion kits. The crib is easy to put together, and its low profile makes it easier for parents to move in and out. The last crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is ideal for minimalists looking to keep their bedroom simple and clean. This stylish crib can be made into a full-size or toddler bed by purchasing an optional rail and kit. This crib is made in Italy and uses environmentally conscious production methods. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and designed to be used alongside the brand's toxic free mattresses. Budget A quality crib will have a sturdy construction and easy assembly instructions. This will make the process easy. And a stylish design that fits with the decor of your nursery is essential. Cribs can run the gamut in terms of price however there are some models that will fit into any budget. For example, the top-rated Stokke Sleepi Bed is one of the most flexible options on the market. It can be used as a bassinet, crib, or as a toddler bed. It can also rock gently to soothe your baby to sleep or create an easy slope for babies with reflux. The added canopy and drape rod encase your baby in a cozy baby-like womb. It can even double as a portable play yard providing your child with the security and comfort to rest on the go. The Oeuf Sparrow crib is another option that doesn't sacrifice design. It combines a contemporary aesthetic with sustainable materials. The solid Birch and Baltic plywood crib made of birch is produced sustainably in Europe to last for generations (and can be passed down through siblings) and is in compliance with all CPSC safety standards, including no cutouts with decorative edges or drop-sides that could snag clothing. It is free of rough or sharp edges, and is easily dressed by sheets. Some parents might want a minimalist crib to match their contemporary or modern home, while others might prefer a more formal design that suits the room's decor. If you fall into the latter category of parents and want a crib that is more formal, the Babyletto Hudson 3 in 1 crib is a fantastic choice. This beautiful model transforms from a bassinet to the size of a mini-crib, and then into a full-size crib with no need for bars or mattresses. If you're a parent who's not into fussiness, opt for the more simple and clean-looking cribs. The Union 3-in-1 crib and the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the components you require to help your baby develop into a toddler, but they have a more traditional design than some models, like the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 or the Dream on Me Ashton 5-in-1.
