Choosing the Best Crib

A crib will be a key feature in your nursery for years and it's essential to pick a crib that you love seeing. Avoid cribs that have cutouts and drop-sides, since your child may fall into. Instead, opt for a design which can easily be transformed to a daybed or toddler.

Safety

The crib's slats must be closely spaced so that children do not get their heads or fingers within them. They should not contain any cutouts with decorative designs or other ornaments that could cause injuries. The mattress support system, which is essential to the safety of your crib should be adjustable to different heights so that it can grow with your child.
