Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport mini cot beds Bed is a minimalist crib that will look amazing in a modern Scandi nursery. It also comes with a deal of flexibility, with three different mattress support heights and the capability to convert into a toddler bed.

Cribs take up a lot of space, so bassinets could be a better option if your house is small. Many parents prefer a crib because of safety concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best rated cribs crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that it is in line with current safety standards and is free of dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, with no loose parts that might catch on clothing or create dangers of choking. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding assembly and use, and check the crib regularly for signs of wear or damage.

The first thing to check is the space between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to avoid your baby falling over or getting their limbs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child in the crib. If you aren't reach your baby, the slats may be too close to each other and should be more spacious.

Another aspect of the crib that you should be aware of is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable so you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the chance of your child leaving the crib, which is a common occurrence as they learn to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and solid and sturdy construction are additional security features to be looking for. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one that has drop sides. Drop sides could be hazardous for your child. You should also be in the same bedroom as your baby until they are old enough for them cots to tots sleep alone.

Not least, ensure that the crib is removed from radiators and windows, and that hanging items such as blind cords or curtains are out of reach. Also, you should remove anything that could create the risk of choking like pillows or blankets. Be careful when purchasing used cribs since they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalls.

Design

It is crucial to keep in mind that cribs may look the same but must still comply with strict safety standards. To this end, the majority cribs we examined have a similar design to ensure uniformity of structural quality. For example, most have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or snag the baby. We also assessed and rated each crib based on how easy it was to put together and use. We recommend choosing one with fewer components to avoid confusion.

The Evolur Sprout crib is one of our top picks. It features a chic contemporary design and is available in a range of colors, including two-tone options. It also comes with a universal mattress fitting, and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. This crib is sleek, modern and minimalist in appearance. It's ideal for modern nursery designs. The crib comes in various finishes and comes with four different mattress sizes, so your baby can use it from the time of birth to toddler. The crib was solid and stable. It didn't flex or squeak when a big child climbed in.

Convertible cribs are a fantastic option if you are planning to have more children. They can be transformed into a toddler's bed and then a full-size mattress, offering excellent value for price. Our test parents have given the Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib excellent marks as an example of convertible beds. Several of them commented that the side rails that drop down made feeding at night easier and safer and that the crib was roomy enough for a baby who was sleeping with the parents to feel comfortable while mom and dad were asleep.

If you're looking for a classic style, the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1 crib is a good option. It is less expensive than the Stork Craft, and it has a timeless style that can be incorporated into the majority of nursery decors. It has three different mattress heights, but it might be a little too small for toddlers and small parents.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can be a great option for babies. Diaper leaks, baby spills and other accidents can make mattresses damp and dirty which can lead to mildew and bacterial infections that could be harmful to infants. Look for a product that can be cleaned with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner, and select a mattress cover that is waterproof to stop liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health issues.

Find mattresses that are rated to last for 10 years, which means it's ready for toddlers and beyond. A majority of the mattresses discussed here are reversible with toddler and infant sides. This allows you to use them from the moment of birth until your child is ready to move on to their own bed.

A firm crib mattress is ideal for infants, because it provides the most support to their growing spines. A mattress that is extremely firm helps reduce the risk of SIDS which is more likely to occur when an infant's head sinks into a soft mattress.

Check the label of the mattress to confirm that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for the possibility of flammability, waterproofing lead, and other chemicals that could be danger to infants. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that could affect infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

Another factor to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. Regular nighttime sheet changes require you to lift and move the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want to take on a heavy product, consider choosing a crib mattress that is lighter. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, making it the largest in this review. It is also made of foam instead of inner woven-core, making it much easier to move around compared with a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's easy to put together is ideal for parents who are new. You should look for a crib with firmly-secured hardware, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby. Beware of cribs with drop-sides or cutouts for the headboard and footboard -- these features aren't in line with current safety standards.

When you're searching for a crib, keep in mind that you'll probably need to buy a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib). These kits are sold separately by the majority of manufacturers. They're typically cheap, and they'll assist your child in transitioning to a larger bed more smoothly.

Many new parents appreciate the longevity that can be found in the convertible crib and they're a great choice for families with several children. They've been designed to last and can be converted into daybeds, toddler beds or full-size beds.

The DaVinci Jayden cots 4 tots-in-1 Crib solid wood crib that's GREENGUARD Gold Certified and comes with four mattress-level heights. It's available in slate grey or white to complement any nursery decor. The crib is easily moved around and has locking wheels. It fits most twin beds. The crib took our test subjects only 23 minutes to assemble.

Another top-rated crib one of the top cribs, the Sprout Crib is made with an environmentally-friendly harvest of Baltic birch, and it meets all U.S., Canadian, Australian and European safety standards. It also has a stylish minimalist design that doesn't be a problem with any bedroom decor. The Sprout is among the tiniest cribs we've tested at 6kg, making it easy to move around and has an excellent travel bag.

The Oeuf Modern Crib, which was a runner-up during our tests, is constructed from sustainable New Zealand pine. It has won numerous prizes from parenting magazines such as BabyCenter and Babble. It has a medium-height profile that can be transformed from an infant crib into a toddler bed with a rail or into a daybed without the rail. It's easy to assemble and has a lot of aesthetic appeal, but the thin finish is susceptible to scratches during normal use.
