Choosing the Best Crib A crib is a crucial feature in your nursery for a long time so its important to choose a crib you enjoy seeing Avoid cribs with cutouts or dropsides since your child may fall into Instead opt for an option that is easily converted to a daybed or toddler Safety We want to give our children the best start in life This starts with a crib that is safe You shouldnt use a crib that has many missing or loose pieces nor do you want one that isnt in line with current safety standards When purchasing a crib make sure that it has CPSC ASTM or JPMA certification The slats in the crib should be spaced to prevent children from falling or catching their heads in them and also they shouldnt contain any decorative cut outs or other embellishments that could create a risk The mattress support system which is essential to the safety of your crib should be adjustable to different heights to allow it to adapt to the needs of your child Avoid hanging items like curtains or blinds since they could strangle your baby Its a good idea to inspect your crib on a regular basis for any missing or loose items and replace any that have become dislodged in the course of time Some cribs have a side panel that can be removed but it wont stay down for very long top rated cots are ideal for parents who do not want to share with their children Make sure to keep your crib away from radiators and windows If youre seeking a crib that is ecofriendly think about one made from wood from sustainable forests Its recommended to pick a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified meaning it has passed a test for low emissions of chemicals If youre looking for something more durable consider a crib that is made from sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA BPAbased chemicals phthalates and other chemical compounds Style Whatever you decide to do whether you want to create an elegant or classic nursery a chic crib will be a great option The SnuzPod4 is a great choice for smaller spaces due to its slim and sleek It also has a lower mattress setting and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified One of our testers Mother Baby Editor Maria Martin says the crib is up there with some of the most beautiful cribs weve seen even in the midst of grey The classic highback crib for babies is made from solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety of contemporary colors that can be matched to any style Its heavier than other cribs weve test but its durable enough to last through the age of toddler and beyond Its longer sides make it less aestheticallypleasing than some other cribs and you wont have a view of your little one from all four sides It also takes up more space in the nursery compared to other top choices Its a great option for small spaces but its unique design makes it difficult to find bedding and sheets Its also a bit heavier than our other picks and it will likely need to be disassembled to fit through doors that are standard in order to move from room room Standard cribs are usually constructed from wood such as maple or oak They can also be made of mahogany birch or cherry They are generally more durable than other materials and can withstand damage better than soft pine Be aware that some manufacturers select pine over more durable hardwoods to save money This could make the crib more vulnerable to scratches and dent which may require more frequent cleaning Another benefit of a standard crib is that it often includes a toddler rail which can help keep your child safe from falling off and climbing Remember however that many cribs designed for toddlers will require you to buy an additional toddler bed rail Convertibility There are many things to consider when choosing a crib Take into consideration the size style slats and whether it is convertible It is crucial to choose a crib you love as it will be there for your baby for a long time You should also select a crib that will fit into your homes decor whether that be traditional or contemporary A convertible crib is an excellent option because it can grow with your child until it becomes a toddler bed and then a fullsize bed This will save you money in the end because you wont have to buy a mattress for your child Some convertible cribs stand out more than other One example is the Graco Benton 5in1 convertible crib Its GREENGUARD Gold Certified which means that it meets or exceeds federal safety standards for construction and finish Additionally it comes with three height settings that can be adjusted and an extremely low profile making it simple to get your baby out of the crib It is easy to assemble this crib which takes less than 15 minutes to assemble using the use of a cordless drilldriver The DaVinci Jayden 4in1 convertible crib is another good alternative This crib is GREENGUARD Certified Gold and a great deal It is a classic crib that could be converted into a toddler bed or daybed This crib is also simple to put together and has a lowprofile that makes it easy to reach into and out of for smaller parents The last crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib This crib is a great option for minimalists who want to keep their nursery design simple and simple Its a stylish and inexpensive crib that can be made as an adult bed or a fullsize bed with the purchase of an optional rail and kit This crib was built in Italy using ecofriendly production methods It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and designed to be used in conjunction with the brands nontoxic mattresses Budget A good crib must be built with strength and easy assembly instructions that result in the installation process being relatively easy A stylish design that is compatible with your nursery decor is also important Cribs vary in terms of cost however there are models that suit every budget The Stokke Sleepi Bed for example is one of the most flexible options available that are available It can be set up as a bassinet a crib or a toddler

complements their contemporary or modern home while others might prefer a more formal style that suits the rooms decor If your preference falls into the latter category you should consider the Babyletto Hudson 3in1 crib This stylish model converts from bassinet to an infant crib and then to a fullsized crib all without the need for mattresses or bars meaning youll have less mess to clean up If youre a parent who isnt in the mood for fussiness choose the more simple and cleanlooking cribs The Union 3in1 crib and the Babyletto Hudson both come with all the parts you need to allow your baby to develop into a toddler but theyre more of a traditional design than some models like the Storkcraft Equinox 3in1 or Dream on Me Ashton 5in1
