Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets could be a better option for homes with small spaces. Many parents prefer a crib due to of security concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that it conforms to current safety standards and is free from dangers that could cause harm to your baby during their sleep. It should be well-constructed and strong, with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for indications of wear or damage.

The first thing to check is the space between slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent your baby's head or limbs being trapped between them. You should also be able easily reach and see your baby's crib. If you aren't reach your baby, the slats may be too close to each other and should be wider.

The mattress support system is another aspect to consider when choosing a crib. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will decrease the risk of your baby leaving the crib, which is a common occurrence as they learn to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is secure enough to fit over the bed and a solid and stable structure are additional security features you should be looking for. You should also choose a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides which can be hazardous for your baby. It is also recommended to share a room with your baby for six months or so, and only move them into their own room when they are old enough to be monitored when they sleep on their own.

Last but not least, ensure that the crib is placed away from windows and radiators, and that dangling items like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. Also, you should remove any items that could pose a choking risk such as blankets or pillows. Be cautious of buying second-hand cribs, as they may not meet current safety standards or have been recalled for other reasons.

Design

It is crucial to keep in mind that cribs may look the same but must still meet the strict safety standards. For this reason, most of the cribs we reviewed have a similar design to ensure consistency 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 pinch babies. We also tested and rated each crib based on how easy it was to use and to assemble. More parts can lead to more confusion, so we suggest choosing a crib that comes with simple instructions to minimize frustration.

The Evolur Sprout crib is one of our top picks. It is stylish modern design and comes in a range of colors, including two-toned options. Additionally, it features a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can off-gas into the nursery.

Another option is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. The crib is sleek, modern and minimalist in design. It's ideal for modern nursery designs.

It didn't flex or creak when a heavy child was seated.

Convertible cribs are an excellent option if you are planning to have more children. Many of these options transform into a toddler bed and then a full-size bed providing a long-lasting product for the money you spend. Our test parents loved the Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib excellent marks as an example of a convertible bed. Many of them said that the drop-down side rail 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 sleeping.

This crib is less expensive than the Stork Craft and comes with an elegant style that is perfect for any nursery.

Mattress

Newborns are messy creatures, tots and cots a washable crib mattress is a must. Spit-up from babies and diaper leaks can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty and result in mildew or bacteria that could affect infants. Choose a mattress that is easily cleaned using a mild cleaner or a cloth. Also, select a waterproof cover to prevent fluids from entering the mattress.

Find a mattress that is rated for up to 10 years, so that it can be used for toddlers. Many of the mattresses featured in this review are reversible and have toddler and infant sides which will let you use them right from birth until your child is ready to move on to the full-size bed.

A firm crib mattress is best for infants, since it will provide the most support to their developing spines. A super-firm sleep surface also helps to reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to occur when an infant's head sinks into a soft mattress.

Examine the label on the mattress to make sure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a risk to babies. You can also find certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that may affect babies' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another factor to consider is the weight of a crib mattress. Sheet changes at night require you to move and lift the mattress, so if you struggle lifting heavy objects or aren't able to handle a heavy product you should consider a lighter crib mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example, is only 8 pounds, while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20 lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses in this review. It is also made of foam rather than inner woven-core, making it more maneuverable compared with a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

New parents will appreciate a crib that's easy to assemble. Choose a crib equipped with hardware that is securely held, without sharp edges or rough spots that could pinch your baby's skin. Avoid cribs that have drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet today's safety standards.

When you're searching for a crib, bear in mind that you'll need to buy a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib). The majority of manufacturers sell these kits separately. They're typically inexpensive, and they'll assist your child in transitioning to a larger bed more smoothly.

Convertible cribs are an excellent investment for families with several children. They've been made to last and can be converted into toddler beds, daybeds or full-size beds.

The Sprout Crib, another top-rated crib, is made of sustainable harvested Baltic birch. It is compliant with all U.S. safety standards, as well as the standards of Australia, Canada, and Europe.
