Choosing the Best Crib [Local.Wendu.Com]

A crib will be a key fixture in your nursery for years so it's crucial to choose a crib you enjoy admiring. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your baby could fall into, and select an option that can be easily converted to a toddler bed, or daybed.

Safety

As parents as parents, we want to provide our babies the best start in life, and it starts with a safe crib. It's not necessary to have cribs that have a lot loose or missing pieces or is one that isn't up to the current safety standards. When purchasing a crib, make sure that it has CPSC, ASTM or JPMA certification.

The slats of the crib should be spaced to stop children from getting their hands or heads in the slats, and they shouldn't have any decorative cutouts or other ornaments that could pose an injury risk. A mattress support system is crucial to the safety of the crib, and it should be capable of adjusting to various sizes to accommodate your child as they grow.

It is also important to stay clear of hanging objects, such as curtains or blind strings, as these present an opportunity for strangulation for your baby. Be sure to check your crib for missing or loose items and replace them if they are damaged.

Some cribs have an additional side panel that can be lowered, but it won't stay down for long. They are ideal for parents who do not want to share a bed. Just make sure you keep your crib away from radiators and windows.

If you are seeking an eco-friendly crib, choose one made of sustainable forests. It's also a good idea to select a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed tests for low emissions of chemicals. If you're looking for something better, choose a crib made of sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA, BPA-based chemicals, phthalates and other chemicals.

Style

Whether you're working with an elegant or minimalist design, an elegant crib is essential. The SnuzPod4 is a great choice for smaller spaces due to its slim and sleek. It's GREENGUARD Certified and has an adjustable lower height mattress. One of our test participants, Mother & Baby Editor Maria Martin, says the crib is "up there with some of the best rated cribs-looking ones we've seen even in a sea of grey!"

This classic high-back crib is crafted from solid New Zealand pinewood and comes in a variety of modern colors to match any aesthetic. It's a bit heavier than other cribs that we've examined, but it's strong enough to make it through toddlerhood and beyond. Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some other cribs, and you won't have a view of your little one from all four sides. It also takes up more space in the nursery when compared to our other top picks.

While a good option for small spaces, its distinctive design can be challenging to find bedding and sheets for. It's also bulkier than the other options and will have to be disassembled in order to fit through standard doorways when moving it from room to room.

Standard cribs are typically constructed from wood, such as maple oak, ash mahogany, cherry, or birch. They are typically longer-lasting than other materials, and are resistant to damage better than soft pine. Be aware that some manufacturers choose pine over harder hardwoods to save money. This can make a crib more susceptible to scratches and dents and could require more frequent cleaning.

Another plus to the standard crib is that it often comes with a toddler rail which will ensure your child's safety from climbing and falling out. However, be aware that a lot of cribs designed for toddlers will require you to purchase your own separate toddler Cot Bed rail for extra security.

Convertibility

When you are deciding on a crib, there are a lot of aspects to take into consideration. You have to consider size, style and slat type, as well as whether it's convertible or not. It is essential to choose a crib you like, as it will be a part of your child for a long period of time. You also want to choose a crib that will fit to the decor of your home, whether that be modern or traditional.

A convertible crib is a fantastic option because it can grow with your child until it becomes a toddler bed, and later into a full-size bed. This will save money in the long run because you don't need to purchase an additional bed for your child.

Some convertible cribs stand out more than others. The Graco Benton 5-in-1 convertible crib is a great example. It's GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means that it meets or exceeds government safety standards for construction and finish. It also comes with three adjustable mattress settings and a low-profile that allows you to easily get your child in and out of it. This crib is also relatively simple to assemble in less than 15 minutes using a cordless drill/driver.

Another option that is worth considering is another option is the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib. This crib is GREENGUARD Certified Gold and a great buy. It is a classic crib that could be transformed into a toddler bed or daybed. The crib is simple to put together and its low profile makes it easy for parents to move into and out.

The final crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is perfect for minimalists who want to keep their bedroom simple and clean. It's a stylish and inexpensive crib that can be made as a toddler bed or full-size bed with the purchase of an optional rail and kit. This crib is made in Italy and uses environmentally conscious manufacturing methods. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and designed to be used in conjunction with the brand's mattresses that are free of toxic substances.

Budget

A crib that is of good quality will have a sturdy structure and simple assembly instructions that result in relatively frustration-free installation. And a design that matches your nursery decor is also important. Cribs are available in terms of price however there are some models that are suitable for every budget.

For example, the top-rated Stokke Sleepi Bed is one of the most flexible options on the market. It can be used as a bassinet crib or a toddler bed and can also roll and rock to gently soothe your baby to sleep or create an incline that is gentle for reflux babies. The canopy and drape rods envelop the Baby beds in the comfort of a womb-like environment. It could also serve as a portable play area providing your child with a comfortable and secure place to sleep on the move.

Another option that doesn't compromise on style is the Oeuf Sparrow crib, which combines a modern aesthetic with eco-friendly materials. The solid birch and Baltic birch wood plywood crib is made sustainably in Europe and can be passed down to children. It is compliant with all CPSC standards and does not have drop-sides, cutouts for decorative purposes or sharp edges that could snag clothing. It is easy to dress using sheets and is free of sharp edges.

Some parents may want a minimalist crib to match their contemporary or modern home, whereas others may prefer a more formal style that suits the room's decor. If you're in the latter category of parents, the Babyletto Hudson 3 in 1 crib is a fantastic choice. This stylish model can be converted from a bassinet to a mini cot beds-crib and then a full-size crib, without the need for bars or mattresses.

If you're a parent that isn't into fussiness, opt for the simpler and cleaner-looking cribs. The Union 3-in-1 crib as well as the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the components you require for your baby to grow into a toddler, but they have more of a traditional design than some models like the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 or the Dream on Me Ashton 5-in-1.
