Bassinets are a good option if you have a small house. Cribs can take up a lot more space. However, a lot of parents choose a crib for security reasons.

Safety

The choice of the best crib for newborns is essential to your Baby Cot's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it is in compliance with current safety standards and is free of hazards that may cause harm to your child during their sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, without loose parts that could catch on clothing or create a choking hazard. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines 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 shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to avoid your baby falling over or getting their limbs caught between them. You must also be able to easily reach and observe your baby's crib. If you can't then the slats are close together and need to be a bit more spacious.

The mattress support system is an additional aspect to take into consideration when selecting a crib. It is important to adjust the levels so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will lower the chance that your baby will climb out of the crib once they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to look for include the fitted sheet that is able to fit the mattress with ease as well as an enduring and solid construction. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one that has drop sides. Drop sides could be hazardous for your child. It is also recommended cribs to share a room with your baby for the first six months or so, and only move them into their own bedroom once they are old enough to be monitored while sleeping alone.

Not least, ensure that the crib is removed from radiators and windows and that dangling items like curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach. You should also take away anything that could create danger of choking, such as blankets or pillows. Be cautious when buying second-hand cribs since they may not meet the current safety standards or have been recalled.

Design

While cribs might appear identical, it is important to remember that each must meet strict safety regulations. This is why the majority cribs beds we looked at have a similar design to ensure uniformity of structural quality. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or snag babies. We also evaluated and rated each crib for how easily it was to use and to assemble. More parts can lead to more confusion, so we recommend choosing a crib that comes with a few easy-to-follow directions to avoid frustration.

The Evolur Sprout crib is among our favorites. It is stylish, contemporary design and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned. It also has an all-purpose mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Convertible cribs are a great option if you plan to have more children. These cribs can be converted into a bed for a toddler and then into a larger mattress, offering excellent value for price. The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is a prime example of a convertible crib which received high marks from our test parents. Several of them commented that the side rails with a drop-down feature made feeding their baby at night more secure and easier, and the crib was big enough for the co-sleeping baby to be at ease while dad and mom were asleep.

If you prefer a traditional style DaVinci's Carter's Colby 4-in-1 crib is a good option. This crib is more affordable than the Stork Craft, and it 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 might consider it too shallow.

Mattress

A crib mattress that can be cleaned will be useful for infants. Spit-up from babies and diaper leaks can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty which can lead to mildew or bacteria that could affect infants. Look for a product that can be washed with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner, and choose a waterproof mattress cover to stop liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health problems.

Choose a mattress that has been rated for up to 10 years so it is suitable for toddlers. Many of the mattresses we've that we have reviewed are reversible, with infant and toddler side. This lets you use them from birth up until your child is ready for their full-size bed.

A mattress that is firm is the best choice for infants since it will provide the greatest support for their developing spines. A mattress that is extremely firm helps reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to occur when an infant's head sinks into a soft mattress.

When looking for a mattress for your crib that is firm, look over the label to be sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a danger to infants. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which prove that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that can harm infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. Regular nighttime sheet changes require you to move and lift the mattress. If you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or aren't able to handle a heavy product then consider getting a lighter crib mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example, is only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness weighs 20lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses in this review. It is also made of foam, not woven-core inners. This makes it easier to move around as compared to a traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that is easy to assemble is great for new parents. Choose a crib with hardware that is securely secured and has no sharp edges or rough spots that could irritate your baby's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these items aren't in compliance with the current safety standards.

When you're searching for a crib, bear in mind that you'll likely need to buy a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib).
