Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that the crib meets current safety standards, and is free of dangers that could cause harm during sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, without loose pieces that could catch on clothing or pose a choking risk. It is essential to follow the directions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to regularly inspect the crib.

The first thing to look at is the spacing between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to keep your baby's head or limbs getting trapped in between them. You should also be able to easily see and reach your baby in the crib. If you can't reach your baby, the slats may be too close together and need to be a bit more spacious.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It must be adjustable to various heights so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the possibility of your baby getting out of the crib as is a common occurrence as they learn to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are additional security features you should be looking for. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. It's also better to share a room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then transfer them to their own room when they are old enough to be monitored when they sleep on their own.

Not least, make sure the crib is kept away from radiators and windows, and that any hanging objects such as blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. You should also remove items that might pose danger to your child's health like blankets or pillows. You should also be wary of purchasing second-hand cribs because they may not be in compliance with current safety standards or have been recalled for different reasons.

Design

It is important to remember that cribs can look similar, but must comply with strict safety standards. The majority of cribs we examined are constructed in a similar fashion to ensure the structural integrity. Most cribs have circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could entangle a baby or pinch them. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its ease of use and assembly. We recommend choosing the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in several colors, including two-toned. It also has a universal mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having the lowest amount of volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. The crib is sleek and modern with minimal details, making it ideal for modern nurseries.

A washable crib mattress will come in handy for newborns. Diaper leaks, baby cot online spit up and other accidents can make mattresses damp and dirty which can lead to mildew and bacterial infections that could be harmful to infants. Choose a mattress that can be wiped down with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner. You should also select a mattress cover that is waterproof to stop fluids from seeping into the mattress and causing health issues.

Look for a mattress rated for up to 10 years, so it is suitable for toddlers. Many of the products discussed here are reversible with toddler and infant sides. This allows you to use them from birth up until your child is old enough to be their own bed.

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

If you are looking for a mattress for your crib that is firm be sure to examine the label to make sure that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for the ability to withstand fire and water as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat to babies. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that could harm infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or you don't want to move a heavy item, you may want a mattress that is lighter. For example, the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It's also made of foam rather than woven-core inners, which makes it more maneuverable when compared to a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's simple to assemble is great for new parents. You should choose the crib that has hardware that is securely secured and with no sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby. Also, avoid any cribs that have drop-sides or cutouts for headboards and footboards as they aren't in line with current safety standards.

If you're looking for a crib, keep in mind that you'll probably require a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you opt for a convertible crib). The majority of manufacturers sell these kits separately. They're usually inexpensive, and they'll assist your child in transitioning to a bigger bed more seamlessly.

Convertible cribs are an excellent option for families with many children. They are designed to last, and they generally can be transformed into a toddler bed, daybed, or full-size bed.
