Bassinets are a better choice when you live in a smaller home. Cribs can take up more space. Many parents choose a crib because of safety concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best cot beds crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and well-being. You should ensure that it is in compliance with current safety standards and is free of any dangers that could harm your baby as they sleep. It should be well-constructed and strong, with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to regularly inspect the crib.

Check the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from falling over or getting their limbs caught between them. You should be able to see and reach your child's crib. If you can't reach your baby, the slats may be too close to each other and should be wider.

The mattress support system is an additional aspect to consider when choosing a crib. It should be adjustable so you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will help to reduce the risk of your baby climbing out of the crib which is a frequent situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other security features you should be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one that has drop sides. Drop sides can be dangerous for your child. It is also recommended to sleep in the same room as your baby for six months or so, and then transfer them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be supervised while sleeping alone.

Finally, you should ensure that the crib is positioned away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. You should also remove objects that could pose danger to your child's health, such as blankets or pillows. You should also be wary of purchasing cribs that are secondhand, because they may not meet current safety standards or have been recalled due to other reasons.

Design

It is important to keep in mind that cribs can look the same but must still comply with strict safety standards. This is why the majority of the cribs we reviewed have a similar design to ensure consistency of structural quality. Most cribs have circular bars with no gaps or rough surfaces that could entangle the baby or squeeze them. We also assessed and rated each crib for how easily it was to use and assemble. We suggest choosing a crib with fewer parts to avoid confusion.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which is designed with an elegant, contemporary design and comes in a variety of color options, including some two-toned. It also comes with a universal mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Mattress

A crib mattress that can be cleaned will come in handy for newborns. Diaper leaks, baby spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and filthy that can cause mildew and other bacteria that can be harmful to infants. Choose a mattress that can be cleaned with a cloth or scrubbed with mild cleaner. You should also select a mattress cover that is waterproof to prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress and causing health problems.

Choose mattresses that are designed to last up to 10 years, meaning it's prepared for toddlers and beyond. A lot of the mattresses in this review are reversible and have toddler and infant sides, that allows you to use them from birth until your child is ready to move on to the full-size bed.

A firm crib mattress is the best crib choice for infants because it provides the greatest support for their developing spines. A mattress that is extremely firm helps reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to occur when an infant's head sinks into a mattress that is soft.

Examine the label of a firm mattress to ensure it complies with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability, waterproofing lead, as well as other chemicals that could pose a hazard to babies. You'll also see certifications like Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US which are a good sign that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can damage infants their nervous and respiratory systems.

Another factor to consider is the weight of the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want to move an item that weighs a lot, you may want an easier mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example is only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses featured in this review. It is also made of foam instead of woven core inners. This makes it much easier to move around as compared to a traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

New parents will appreciate a crib that's easy to assemble. Look for one with hardware that's firmly secured, without sharp edges or rough spots that could pinch your baby's skin. Also, stay clear of cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cutouts -- these features aren't compatible with the current safety standards.

If you decide to buy a convertible crib, you will need to purchase an additional kit to convert it into an adult bed. These kits are sold separately by most manufacturers. These kits are usually inexpensive and will aid your child in making the transition to a bigger bed more easily.
