Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it is in line with current safety standards and is free from any hazards that could cause harm during sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, with no loose parts that could get caught on clothing or create a choking hazard.

Be sure to measure the distance between the slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to prevent your baby's head or limbs getting trapped in between them. You should also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib. If you aren't, the slats are too close together and should be more spacious.

This will decrease the chance of your child leaving the crib which is a frequent situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a solid and stable structure are additional security features you should be looking for.
