How to Choose the best infant Cribs [[www.cots4tots.co.uk](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/)]
The crib is an essential piece of furniture for your baby's nursery. It can be difficult to choose the best crib, given numerous styles and safety concerns.
Search for a crib with the highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We recommend a crib with a wide choice of mattress heights and a modern design that is in line with your style.
Safety
When assembling and setting up your baby's crib make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is crucial to avoid putting any items in the crib of your child that could potentially cause harm or injury including blankets, pillows, sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more details). Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items could easily fall between your baby's crib bars or get trapped in them. They could also be taken up by the mattress.
The best cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also comply with strict federal laws, local and state standards for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They are also designed to be tough and convertible, meaning they'll grow with your child.
If you're buying a new crib or used, it's important to choose a crib that is in line with today's rigorous safety standards. Used cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to age, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose serious risks to your infant.
The crib's slats should be spaced no more than 3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib must be secured. It's an excellent idea to check the slats and the rims of the mattress support for any loose or broken components.
It's best to avoid cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, as their safety may be at risk. Don't buy or accept cribs with a drop-side rail. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.
Style
There are a lot of variations in the design of cribs, despite the fact that all must meet safety standards. Some are just cosmetic, such as the slats have the same length or are spaced farther apart, while others could impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Certain features, such as drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used and others, like adjustable mattress height and wheels/casters desirable for many parents.
A crib is not meant to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be a place for babies to sleep. You can also include a crib in your registry to seek help from family and friends in the event that you require one.
Cribs come in all shapes and sizes, but the ones we love best combine style and functionality. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimal and stylish. It is also GREENGUARD gold-certified and we believe that is essential for any product that is non-toxic. It can be transformed into a daybed and toddler with a separate conversion kit.
Some cribs feature a more traditional look like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a grand crib that can be incorporated into large nurseries, but it occupies more floor space than smaller and minimalist models, and also has exposed hardware that some might find distracting. Moreover, it only has three mattress height levels which is less than half the competition and isn't as sturdy as our other options.
Another option with contemporary design is the Babyletto Hudson. Its hidden hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and allow you to observe baby, which Dr. Casares says is an important aspect for new parents. It can also be elevated to a higher height to alleviate reflux and colic and colic, making it suitable for babies ranging from birth to 6 months. It is also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a complimentary mattress that is also a match. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than other top picks, and it requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler beds.
Adjustable Mattress Height
It is crucial that the crib mattress of your baby is of the correct height. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which can be dangerous or fatal. A mattress that is higher can safeguard your child from suffocation or overheating.
A quality crib will have slats or railings that are adjustable that let you raise or lower the mattress as your infant grows. A majority of cribs come with a conversion kit, so you can convert the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's also best to choose a crib that has been tested and inspected by a third-party organization for safety. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification which means that it has been tested to ensure that there are no harmful chemicals or finishes present in your baby's sleep space.
The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the best-rated cribs on the market, and it's easy to assemble, with a straightforward design that doesn't have any jarring pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are shorter than the other models. However, one tester reported that her child was sleeping well and the crib was still in good shape when she gave it to a relative for her second child.
Stokke Sleepi Crib is another fantastic option. It has an oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It's a bit more costly than other cribs, however it's durable and comes with a number of features that make up the cost. For instance, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or toddler bed. It also comes with wheels that make it easy to move from room to room. It also has a canopy that can be utilized to create a womb-like environment for your baby. It also adds a stylish touch to any nursery.
The only issue with this crib is that it doesn't come with mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a secure, comfortable crib that can expand with your child as they grow from infant to toddler.
There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.
The safest cribs do not have chewable or dangling components. Babies love to grasp things, and if a piece of furniture is hanging over or above their crib it could tug against the rails or create a strangulation hazard. If parents decide to decorate their crib with decorative items or toys, they must make sure that the items are securely secured and are not within Baby's reach.
We also consider how it is easy to build our top cribs for infants. The crib should be easy enough to assemble by yourself, without the need for special tools or a long amount of time. Many parents report that assembling a modern crib takes less than an hour and the instructions included are usually clear and easy to follow.
It's important that you choose a crib that will last many years. To ensure longevity, you should choose an adjustable crib that will work from infancy all the way up to an adult bed and then an adult-sized bed.
The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top choice for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet in the early years and later transformed into a toddler bed, a daybed or a full-size bed. It's built to last and comes in many colors so you can match it to your nursery's design theme.
Another option that is a great choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This stunning, minimalist-style crib has a low profile that allows parents with small hands to reach their child and soothe them. It also has a good reputation for quality and is available in cherry, white, espresso, and 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 far exceeds safety standards of the government, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing that is not included is the toddler rail. You can buy it separately. This is a great choice for those who are looking for an affordable, high-quality, and low-cost crib that will last for a long time.
