How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an important piece for your baby's nursery. But picking out a good crib can be overwhelming especially when you consider the many different styles and safety concerns.

Find cribs that meet the highest safety standards and includes no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a stylish crib with a variety of mattress heights as well as an elegant, modern design.

Safety

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

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

It is also advisable to avoid using cribs that were used by children or pets, as their safety may have been compromised. Do not purchase or purchase the crib that has drop-side rails. This feature was banned in 2012 by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are a variety of different designs of cribs, despite the fact that they all must meet safety standards. Some differences are purely cosmetic, such as whether the slats are all the same length or are spaced further than others, and some can affect how easy it is to use and clean the crib. Some features like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, like the adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are coveted by many parents.
