Choosing the Best Crib Newborn The Westport Cot Bed will look stunning in a Scandi nursery Its also very adaptable with three different mattress support heights and can be transformed into a toddlers bed Cribs consume a lot of room so bassinets might be a better option in case your home is small Many parents prefer a crib because of security concerns Safety Selecting the best crib for your newborn is crucial to your babys health and wellbeing You must ensure that the crib meets the current safety standards and is free of dangers that could cause harm during sleep It should be wellconstructed and sturdy without loose pieces that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk It is crucial to follow the directions of the manufacturer for assembly and use and to check the crib regularly Check the distance between the slats It should be no more than 2 and 38 inches apart to keep your babys head or legs from getting trapped in between them You should be able to see and reach your child in the crib If not reach your baby the slats must be wider and not so close to each other cot for sale is an additional aspect to think about when choosing a crib It should be adjustable to different heights so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows This will decrease the chance of your child climbing out of the crib as is a common event as they begin to crawl A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other security features you should look for Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides Drop sides could be dangerous for your child It is also recommended to share a room with your baby for six months or so and then move them into their own bedroom once they are old enough to be supervised while sleeping alone Finally you should ensure that the crib is positioned away from windows and radiators and that any dangling objects like curtains or blind cords are out of their reach Also you should remove any items that could be the risk of choking such as blankets or pillows Be cautious when buying used cribs since they may not meet the current safety standards or have been recalled Design While cribs might appear identical it is important to keep in mind that all must meet strict safety standards This is why the majority of the cribs we reviewed have a similar layout to ensure uniformity of structural integrity For instance the majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or squeeze a baby We also tested each crib and rated it for its simplicity of use and assembly More parts can mean more confusion so we suggest choosing one that has clear instructions that are easy to follow to minimize frustration One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib which has an elegant modern design and comes in several colors including twotoned It also comes with a mattress that is universal and is Greenguard Gold certified to have low levels of volatile organic compounds VOCs that could release gas into the nursery Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is a different option This crib is sleek and modern with minimal details making it perfect for modern nursery The crib comes in various finishes and has four different mattress sizes so your baby can use it from newborn to toddler We tested the crib and found it to be extremely sturdy and stable without flexing or creaking when a toddler was seated inside Convertible cribs are a great option if you plan to have more children These options can be transformed into a bed for a toddler and then into a larger mattress providing an excellent value for your price Our test parents have given the Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib top marks as an example of convertible beds Several of them commented that the side rails that drop down made nighttime feedings easier and safer and that the crib was roomy enough for the baby to be comfortable while mom and dad were sleeping If you prefer a traditional style DaVincis Carters Colby 4in1 is a great choice It is less expensive than the Stork Craft and has a timeless style that is perfect for every nursery It comes with three different mattress heights but some parents and toddlers might consider it too shallow Mattress Newborns are messy creatures and a clean crib mattress is essential Spitting up from diapers baby spills and other accidents can make mattresses damp and filthy leading to mildew and bacteria that may be harmful to infants Select a mattress that can be easily cleaned using mild cleaner or cloth Also consider an waterproof cover to prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress Find mattresses that are rated to last for 10 years so its ready for toddlers and beyond Many of the mattresses weve discussed here are reversible with infant and toddler side This lets you use them from birth up until your child is old enough to be their own bed size A firm crib mattress is the best choice for infants since it will provide the greatest support for their developing spines A firm sleeping surface helps to reduce the risk of SIDS which is more likely to happen when a babys head sinks into a soft mattress Look over the label of a firm mattress to ensure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat to infants You can also find certifications such as Greenguard CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that can affect infants nervous and respiratory systems The weight of the crib mattress is another factor to take into consideration If you are unable to lift heavy objects or dont want to move a heavy object it is possible to choose a mattress that is lighter Newton Wovenaire for example weighs only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds This makes it one of the heavier mattresses in this review It is also made of foam instead of wovencore inners This makes it more comfortable to move around in comparison to a heavier traditional coil bed Assembly A crib that is easy to put together is ideal for parents who are new You should look for an item that is securely secured and with no sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby Also stay clear of cribs with dropsides or cutouts for headboards and footboards These features arent compatible with the current safety standards If you decide to purchase a convertible crib you will require an additional kit to convert it into a toddler bed These kits are sold separately by a majority of manufacturers Theyre usually affordable and will help your child transition into larger beds more easily Many new parents appreciate the longevity that comes with a convertible crib and theyre a good choice for families with several children These cribs are built
