How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is one of the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. But picking out a good crib can be a daunting task especially when you consider the many different designs and security concerns.

Find a crib that meets the highest safety standards, and no dangling or chewable parts. We also recommend a crib that has a broad selection of mattress heights and a modern design that matches your style.

Safety

When assembling and positioning your baby's crib, be sure you follow the safe sleep guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Avoid placing any objects that could cause injury or harm to your baby's nursery. This includes blankets, pillows, and sheepskins. Also avoid bumper pads, stuffed toys and blankets. Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals bigger than 15 inches. They could easily fall into or become trapped between your baby and the crib bars or they could be engulfed by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure quality and safety. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certifications!) They're also designed to last and are flexible, allowing them to adapt to your child's needs.

If you're buying a new crib or used, it's crucial to select cribs that meet today's strict safety standards. Used cribs may lose their structural integrity due to age, humidity and heavy use, posing grave dangers to your child.

The slats of your crib should not exceed 3/8 inches (6 centimeters), and the hardware must be secure. Check the slats, mattress support rims and the hardware for any loose or damaged components.

It's best to avoid cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, since their safety could be at risk. Finally, don't purchase or purchase an older crib that has an incline side rail, which was deemed unsafe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 due to safety reasons.

Style

There are many different designs of cribs, despite the fact that they all have to meet safety standards. Some are simply aesthetic, like whether the slats are the same length or placed closer apart, while others have a real impact on how easy the crib is to operate and maintain. Some features like finials and drop sides are not safe and should not be used. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are sought-after by a lot of parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib should be used exclusively for sleeping infants, so it's not a place to store toys or clothes. You can also put the crib on your registry to receive help from friends and family when you need one.
