Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport Cot Bed will look beautiful in a Scandi nursery. It's also very adaptable with three different mattress support heights. It also can be transformed into a toddler's bed.

Bassinets are the best cot newborn option for those with a small house. Cribs can take up more space. Many parents prefer a crib due to of safety concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that it is in line with current safety standards and is free from any dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, with no loose parts that might catch on clothing or create a choking hazard. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for signs of wear or damage.

Examine the distance between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from being able to get their head or limbs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your baby's crib. If you aren't, the slats are too close together and should be larger.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It is important to adjust the levels so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will help to reduce the chance of your child leaving the crib as is a common situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are additional safety features you should look for. You should also select a crib with fixed sides rather than ones with drop sides, which can be hazardous for your baby. You should also be in the same room with your baby until they are old enough for them to be able to go off on their own.

The last thing to do is make sure the crib is placed away from radiators and windows, tots and cots that hanging items such as curtains or blind cords are kept out of reach. You should also take away anything that could create a choking risk, such as pillows or blankets. Be cautious when buying used cribs, as they may not meet the current safety standards or have been recalls.

Design

It is crucial to remember that cribs can look the same but must still comply with strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we reviewed are designed in a similar manner to ensure the structural stability. Most cribs have circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could catch babies or pinch them. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its user-friendliness and assembly. More parts can lead to more confusion, so we recommend choosing a crib that comes with a few easy-to-follow directions to reduce frustration.

One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which comes with an elegant, contemporary style and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned. It also has a mattress that is universal and is Greenguard Gold certified to have minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can release off-gasses into the nursery.

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. This crib is sleek, modern and minimal in design. It's ideal for modern nursery designs. The crib is available in a variety of colors and has four different mattress sizes, so your baby can use it from birth to toddler. This crib was very solid and stable. It did not flex or squeak when a big child climbed into it.

Convertible cribs are a great option if you plan to have more children. They can be transformed into a bed for a toddler and then into a full-size mattress, giving you an excellent value for your money. The Sweet2Sleep Crib is an example of a convertible crib that received high marks from our parents who tested it. The drop-down side rail was highly praised by parents for making nighttime feedings safer and easier. They also noted that the crib had enough room for the baby to be comfortable while mom and dad slept.

If you prefer a traditional style DaVinci's Carter's Colby 4-in-1 is a great choice. This crib is more affordable than the Stork Craft and has a timeless design that can be incorporated into the majority of nursery decors. It has three different mattress heights however, some parents and toddlers might consider it too shallow.

Mattress

Newborns are messy creatures, and a washable crib mattress is an essential. Spitting up from diapers cots and tots baby spit can cause mattresses to become dirty and damp, resulting in mildew or bacterial growth that could affect infants. Choose a product that is easy to clean with a mild cleaner or a cloth. Also, select a waterproof cover to prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress.

Choose a mattress that has been rated for up to 10 years, so that it can be used for toddlers. A majority of the mattresses reviewed here are reversible, with infant and toddler side. This allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is ready to move on to their full-size bed.

A mattress that is firm for the crib is ideal because it can support their spines while they're developing. A super-firm sleep surface also helps reduce the chance of SIDS, which is more likely to occur when an infant's head sinks into a mattress that is soft.

When looking for a firm crib mattress make sure you look over the label to be sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC demands that mattresses be tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a risk to babies. There are also certifications such as Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US which are a great crib indicator that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can harm infants their nervous and respiratory systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. If you're unable to lift heavy objects or you don't want to move a heavy object then you might want a mattress that is lighter. For instance, the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It is also constructed of foam, not woven-core inners. This makes it more comfortable to move around compared to a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's easy to put together is ideal for new parents. Find one equipped with hardware that is securely held and has no sharp edges or rough spots that could rub your baby's skin. Beware of cribs with drop-sides, or cutouts for headboards and footboards as they aren't compatible with today's safety standards.

If you're looking for a crib, bear in mind that you'll require a toddler bed conversion kit (if you opt for a convertible crib). The majority of manufacturers offer these kits on their own. They're often cheap, and they'll help your child transition into a larger bed more smoothly.

Many new parents appreciate the longevity that comes with convertible cribs, and they're a good choice for families with several children. These cribs are built to last and are typically able to be transformed into a daybed, toddler bed or a full-size bed.
