Choosing the Best Crib Newborn The Westport Cot Bed is an elegant crib that will look stunning in a Scandidesign nursery It also comes with a deal of flexibility by offering three different mattress support heights and the capability to convert into an infant bed Cribs can take up a lot room so bassinets might be a better choice in case your home is small However many parents choose a crib for safety reasons Safety The choice of the best crib for newborns is crucial for your babys health and wellbeing You must ensure that it meets the current safety standards and is free of any hazards that may harm your baby while they sleep It should be constructed well and strong with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or pose the risk of choking It is also important to follow the manufacturers instructions regarding assembly and use and check the crib regularly for signs of wear or damage Be sure to measure the distance between the slats It should not be more than 2 and 38 inches apart to prevent your babys head or limbs getting trapped in between them You should be capable of seeing and reaching your babys crib If not see the slats need to be wider and not as close to each other Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system It should be adjustable to different heights so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows This will lower the chance that your baby will climb out of the crib when they begin to crawl Other safety features to look for include an upholstered sheet that fits the mattress securely and an enduring and solid construction You should also choose a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides which can be dangerous for your baby Its also better to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first six months or so and only transfer them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be watched while sleeping alone Also make sure that the crib is away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach Also you should remove any items that could present a choking risk such as pillows or blankets You should also be wary of purchasing cribs that are secondhand because they may not meet the current safety standards or been recalled for different reasons Design While cribs may look all similar its important to remember that each must comply with strict safety guidelines This is why the majority cribs we looked at have a similar layout to ensure consistency in terms of structural quality For example most have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or snag babies We also examined each crib and evaluated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly We suggest choosing one with fewer components to avoid confusion One of our favorites is the Evolur Sprout Crib which has an elegant contemporary design and comes in several color options including some twotoned Additionally it features a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have minimal volatile organic compounds VOCs which can release offgasses into the nursery Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is another alternative The crib is sleek modern and minimalist in design Its ideal for modern nurseries The crib is available in various finishes and has four different mattress heights meaning your baby can use it from the time of birth to toddler We tested this crib and found it to be extremely solid and stable without creaking or flexing when a child weighed a lot of weight inside If youre planning on having more children you might be interested in a convertible crib A lot of these cribs can be converted into a toddler bed and then a fullsize bed offering excellent longevity for the money you spend Our test parents loved the Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib excellent marks as an example of convertible beds The dropdown side rail was highly praised by parents for making feeding at night more secure and easy They also noted that the crib was spacious enough room for the baby to sleep comfortably while dad and mom were asleep The Carters Colby 4in1 crib by DaVinci is a fantastic choice if you like the traditional style This crib is more affordable than the Stork Craft and has a timeless style that can be incorporated into most nursery decors It comes with three different heights for the mattress however some parents and toddlers may find it a bit shallow best infant cribs that can be cleaned will come in handy for newborns Baby spit up and other accidents can make mattresses damp and filthy leading to mildew and bacterial infections that could be harmful to infants Choose a product that is easy to clean with an mild cleaner or cloth Also choose a waterproof cover to prevent liquids from getting into the mattress Look for mattresses that are designed to last up to 10 years which means it will be ready for toddlers and beyond Many of the products in this review are reversible and have toddler and infant sides that allows you to use them from birth until your child is old enough to be the fullsize bed A mattress that is firm for the crib is ideal as it will support their spines while theyre developing A superfirm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS This is because a soft mattress increases the likelihood that an infants head will sink into it Examine the label of a firm mattress to ensure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a risk to babies There are also certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that may harm infants nervous and respiratory systems The weight of the mattress is a further factor to consider Regular nighttime sheet changes require you to move and lift the mattress so if you are unable to lift heavy objects or dont want take on a heavy product you should consider a mattress that is lighter for your crib For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 lbs making it the largest in this review It is also made from foam instead of wovencore inners This makes it much easier to move around in comparison to a traditional coil bed Assembly A crib that is easy to put together is ideal for new parents Find one with hardware thats firmly secured without sharp edges or rough spots that could irritate your babys skin Avoid cribs that have dropsides and headboardfootboard cuts These features dont meet the safety standards of today If you decide to purchase a convertible crib youll require an additional kit to convert it into a toddler bed Most manufacturers offer these kits separately Theyre usually cheap and theyll assist your child in transitioning to a larger bed more smoothly Convertible cribs are an excellent investment for families with several children The cribs are designed to last and can be converted into toddler beds daybeds or fullsize beds The DaVinci Jaden 4in1 crib is solidwood
