How to Choose the best cots Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely crucial piece for the nursery of your baby. But picking out a good crib can be a daunting task, especially with so many different styles and security concerns.

Look for a crib that has the highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress sizes and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib make sure to adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is crucial to not place any items in the crib of your baby that could cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows and sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information). Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches should not be allowed to be placed in the crib of your Baby Cot Bed. These items could easily fall into or get trapped between your baby and the crib bars, or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best infant cribs are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also comply with strict federal and state standards for structural safety. Additionally, they're third-party tested for safety and quality (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certifications!). They are also designed to be tough and convertible, meaning they'll continue to grow with your child.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's essential to choose a crib that is in line with today's rigorous safety standards. Used cribs can be weakened in the course of time due to humidity, age and heavy use. This could create serious risks for your baby.

The slats on your crib should be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware on the crib must be secured. Check the slats, mattress support rims and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It is also advisable to avoid using cribs that have been used by other children or pets, as their safety may be compromised. Don't buy or accept cribs with a drop-side rail. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some are purely aesthetic, such as if the slats are of the same length or placed closer together, while others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Some features, like drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should be avoided as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are popular with parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib is meant only for infant sleep and is not a place to store clothes or toys. It's also a good idea to put the crib on your registry so that friends and family can pitch in to assist you in getting one when the time comes.

Cribs are available in a variety of different styles However, we prefer those that combine style with functionality. For instance the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and looks sharp. It's also GREENGUARD Gold certified, which is an essential feature for any baby product that is non-toxic, and it can convert into a toddler bed and daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).

Some cribs feature more traditional designs like the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a classy crib that fits well into large nurseries, but it occupies more space than smaller and minimalist models, and also has exposed hardware that some find distracting. Additionally, it has only three mattress height levels, which is less than half of the alternatives and it's not as sturdy as some of our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern look. Its concealed hardware and all-round mesh enhance airflow and allow you to see baby which Dr. Casares says is an important feature for a lot of new parents. It can be raised to ease colic and reflux. This makes it suitable for babies aged 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD certified gold and comes with a mattress. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than the other top choices, and it requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler cot beds for sale.

Adjustable Mattress Height

If your baby sleeps in their crib, it's important that the mattress is the right height. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which could be dangerous or fatal. A mattress that is higher also helps to keep your child safe from overheating or suffocating.

A good crib will have adjustable slats or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. Most good cribs will also include a conversion kit so you can turn the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's also recommended to select a crib that has been tested and approved by a third party organisation for safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications guarantee your baby's crib is free of finishes or chemicals.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib one of the top-rated cribs on the market, and it's easy to put together and features a simple layout that doesn't contain any jarring pieces or parts. The crib's sides are shorter than those of other cribs. However, one tester said that her child slept well and the crib was in good condition when she gave it to a friend as her second baby.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another great alternative. It has an oval shape that creates a modern appearance. It's more expensive than the majority of cribs, but it is durable and has many features to make up for the price. It is able to be converted into an infant bed or a bassinet and has wheels that make it easy to move around. It comes with a canopy that can be used to create an atmosphere that resembles a womb for your baby. It adds a fashionable design to any nursery.

The only issue with this crib is that it doesn't come with a mattress, which you'll have to purchase separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can grow with your child as they transition from infant to toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Parts

The safest cribs have no chewable or dangling parts. Babies like to grab things, and if something is hanging from or above their crib it could tug on the rails or become a strangulation hazard. If parents decorate their crib with toys or other decorative objects, they should make sure the items are securely secured and aren't within reach of Baby.

We also examine how easy it is to build our top infant cribs. The ideal crib will be easy enough to be able to make it yourself and doesn't require special tools or a long time to assemble. Many parents report that it takes less than one hour to assemble the modern crib, and the directions are generally simple to follow.

It's important that you choose a crib that lasts for many years. To ensure longevity, you should choose an adjustable crib that will be used from the time of infancy all the way to a toddler bed and finally a full-size bed.

The Ikea Nestig Cloud crib is our top pick for a convertible crib that can be used as a bassinet for the early months and then transformed into an infant bed, a daybed, or a full-size bed. It's built to last and is available in many colors so you can match it to your nursery's design theme.

Another excellent choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This beautiful, minimalist-style crib is low-profile which makes it easier for parents who are small cot beds to reach their child and soothe their child. It has a good reputation for quality and comes in white, cherry and espresso 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 government safety standards, including ASTM, CPSC, and JPMA. The only thing missing is a toddler rail, which you can buy separately. This is an excellent option for those who are looking for a quality affordable crib that will last.
