How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

A crib is among the most essential items for your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable one can feel overwhelming, especially with so many different styles and security concerns.

Choose a crib that adheres to the highest safety standards and has no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a sleek crib with a variety of mattress heights as well as an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when setting up and arranging your baby's crib. It is important to not place any items in your baby's crib which could cause injury or harm including blankets, pillows and sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. They could get caught between the crib bars or get stuck within them. They could also be taken in by the mattress.

The best baby cots cribs for infants are made of safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal laws, local and state standards for structural safety.

And they are designed to last and are adaptable, so they can expand with your child.

It's important that you choose cribs that meet current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a brand-new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may be damaged in their structural integrity due to aging, humidity and prolonged use, which can pose serious risks to your infant.

The slats on your crib should not be more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent children from being wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib should be secured. Check the slats and mattress support rims and hardware for any damaged or loose components.

It's also wise to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets, as their security could be at risk. Don't buy or accept cribs with a drop-side rail. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for safety reasons.

Style

There are many design differences between cribs, despite the fact that they all must be safe to use standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as whether the slats all have the same length or are spaced further than others, and some can impact the ease to use and clean the crib. Certain features such as finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided. Other features, like adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.
