How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. However, choosing a suitable crib can be overwhelming, especially with so many various styles and security concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, and no chewable or dangling parts. We recommend a crib with a wide selection of mattress heights and a modern design that complements your style.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any items that could cause injury or harm to the nursery of your baby. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also, avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys, and blankets. Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches should not be allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items can easily fall between your baby's crib bars or become trapped in them. They may also be taken up by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also meet strict federal laws, state and local regulations for structural safety. They're also third-party tested to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They are also designed to be tough and convertible, so they can grow along with your child.

No matter if you're buying new or used, it's important to choose a crib that is in line with today's rigorous safety standards. Secondhand cribs may lose structural integrity over time due to the effects of humidity, age and frequent use. This can cause serious dangers to your baby.

The slats of your crib should not be more than 3/8 inch (6 centimeters), and the hardware should be secure. Examine the slats, mattress support rims and hardware for any broken or loose components.

Also, don't purchase or purchase an older crib that has the drop side rail which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to reasons of safety.

Style

There are a lot of variations in the design of cribs, despite the fact that all have to meet safety standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as whether the slats are all the same length, or are spaced closer than others, and some can affect how easy it is to use and clean the crib. Certain features, like drop sides and finials aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like the adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by many parents.
