How to Choose the Best cot for newborn Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely essential piece of furniture for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the ideal crib, due to so many designs and safety concerns.

Choose a crib that adheres to the highest safety standards and has no dangling or chewable components. We also suggest a crib with a wide choice of mattress heights and a modern design that is in line with your style.

Safety

When assembling and arranging your baby's crib make sure to follow safe sleep guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in the crib of your child that could potentially cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows and sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information). Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches should not be allowed to be placed in the crib of your baby. These items could easily get caught between the crib bars or become trapped in them. They may also be swallowed by the mattress.

The most suitable cribs for infants are made from materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also meet strict federal and state regulations regarding structural safety. They're also tested by a third party for quality and safety (think GREENGAURD gold or ASTM, JMPA, or CPSIA certs!). They are also designed to be durable and convertible, meaning they can grow along with your child.

It is essential to select a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Used cribs can be weakened in the course of time due to age, humidity and frequent use. This could pose serious risks to your baby.

The crib's slats should be spaced no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent infants from getting wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib should be secured. Check the slats, mattress support rims and the hardware for any broken or loose components.

It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by pets or children in the past, as their safety may be at risk. Do not purchase or purchase the crib that has a drop-side rail. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

While all cribs must comply with strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some are just aesthetic, such as if the slats are all the same length or spaced closer than others or not, while others have a real impact on how easy the crib is to maintain and use. Certain features such as drop sides and finials are not safe and should be avoided. Other features, like the adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by many parents.

A crib isn't designed to be used for toys or clothes. It's designed to be an area where babies can sleep. You can also put the crib on your registry to receive assistance from family and friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in many different styles However, we prefer ones that blend fashion and functionality. For example, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is minimalist and stylish. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, which is essential for any product that is free of toxics and can be converted into a toddler bed as well as a daybed (toddler conversion kit sold separately).

Other cribs are more traditional, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a stylish choice that can be incorporated into larger nurseries. However, it occupies more floor space compared to smaller, minimalist alternatives. It only has three mattress levels which is less than the number offered by competitors. It's also not as sturdy as our other choices.

Another option that has a modern aesthetic is the Babyletto Hudson. The Babyletto Hudson's all-round mesh and hidden hardware improve airflow, and Dr. Casares believes that this is an attribute that new parents appreciate. It can be raised to relieve reflux and colic. This makes it suitable for babies between 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's worth noting, though, that it's more expensive than our other top picks and requires a separate toddler bed conversion kit.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is essential that the mattress on your baby's crib is the right height. This ensures that your child isn't able to climb out which could be hazardous or even fatal. A mattress that is higher can protect your child from overheating or suffocation.

A quality crib should include slats that can be adjusted or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. The majority of cribs come with a conversion kit, so you can turn the crib into the toddler bed or daybed once your little one outgrows it. It's also a good idea for you to choose a crib which has been tested and certified by a third-party organisation. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association seal and GREENGUARD Gold Certification are two examples. These certifications ensure that the crib of your baby is free of chemicals or finishes.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the top rated cots-rated cribs on the market, and it's simple to put together and has a simple design that doesn't include any complicated pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are a bit shorter than other cribs however one tester stated that her baby was comfortable in it and remained in good shape when she gave it to a friend following the birth of her second child was born.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another excellent alternative. It has an oval shape which gives it a modern look. It's a bit more expensive than the majority of cribs, but it's durable and comes with numerous features that make up the price. For example, it can be transformed into a bassinet, or toddler bed and has wheels so it's easy to move from room to room. It also comes with a canopy that can be used to create a more womb-like environment for your baby. It's also an elegant look to any nursery.

The crib doesn't come with a mattress. You'll have to purchase one separately. But it's a safe and comfortable crib that will grow with your child from a newborn to a toddler.

No Dangling or Chewable Parts

The safest cribs have no chewable or hanging components. If something is hanging above or below their crib, this could cause the rails to pull or pose a strangulation risk. Babies are extremely grabbing. If parents decide to decorate their crib with ornaments or toys, they should make sure that the items are securely secured and are out of Baby's reach.
