How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs (Msk.Voobrajulya.Ru)

A crib is one of the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. However, picking a suitable one can feel overwhelming particularly with the number of various styles and safety concerns.

Choose a crib that meets the most stringent safety standards and has no chewable or dangling components. We also recommend a sleek crib that has a variety of mattress sizes and modern, sleek design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when placing and assembling your baby's crib. It is crucial to avoid putting any items in the crib of your baby that could potentially cause harm or injury, including pillows, blankets as well as sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more details). Teddy bears, dolls and other stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items could easily fall between your baby's crib bars or get trapped in them. They may also be taken in by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made of materials that are free of VOCs, harmful chemicals, and other substances. They also comply with strict federal and state standards for structural safety. They're also tested by third parties to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certificates!) They're designed to be durable and adaptable, so they can expand with your child.

It's crucial to choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, regardless of whether you're buying a brand new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may lose structural integrity over time due to the effects of humidity, age and use. This could create serious risks for 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. It's an excellent idea to check the slats and mattress support rims for any broken or loose parts.

It's also recommended to avoid using cribs that were used by other children or pets, as their security might be at risk. Don't buy or accept an older crib that has the drop side rail which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for security reasons.

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, you'll find a lot of design differences. Some are simply aesthetic, such as if the slats are of the same length or spaced closer together, while others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to operate and maintain. Some features, like drop sides and finials, aren't safe and should not be used, while others--like adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

One important thing to remember is that a crib should be used only for infant sleep, so it's not an area to store clothes or toys. You can also put the crib on your registry to get help from family tots and cots friends in the event that you require one.

Cribs come in all sizes and shapes, but the ones we like best have a mix of style and functionality. For instance, the Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 crib is simple and stylish. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, which is an essential feature for sale Cot any product that is free of toxics and can be converted into a toddler bed and daybed (toddler conversion kit available separately).

Some cribs are more traditional, like the DaVinci Jayden 4 in 1. It's a grand crib that fits well into large nurseries, but it takes up more floor space than the smaller, minimalist alternatives and comes with exposed hardware that some may find distracting. It only has three levels of mattress which is a fraction of the competition's number. It's not as durable as our other choices.

The Babyletto Hudson is another option with a more modern aesthetic. The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware improve the flow of air, and Dr. Casares believes that this is an attribute that many new parents will appreciate. It can be raised higher to alleviate colic and reflux. This makes it suitable for babies aged 6 months and birth. It's also GREENGUARD GOLD-certified and comes with an additional mattress. It's important to know that this bed is more expensive than the other top picks and requires an additional conversion kit for toddler mini cot beds.

Adjustable Mattress Height

It is crucial that the mattress on your Baby Crib's crib is at the correct height. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib, which can be risky or even fatal. A mattress that is higher also helps protect your baby from overheating or becoming suffocated.

A quality crib should include adjustable rails or slats that allow you to raise or lower it as your child grows. A conversion kit is included with most good cribs so that you can turn it into an adult daybed or a toddler bed when your child is no longer in the crib. It's recommended for you to choose a crib that is tested and certified by a third-party organization. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification, which means it has been tested to ensure that there are no harmful chemicals or finishes present in the crib where your baby sleeps.

The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is one of the best-rated cribs available, and it's easy to put together and features a simple design that doesn't include any jarring pieces or parts. The sides of the crib are shorter than many other models however one tester reported that her baby slept well in it, and was in good shape when she gave it to a friend following the birth of her second child.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is another excellent alternative. It features an oval shape that gives it a contemporary look. It's a bit more expensive than other cribs but its quality and features make up for it. It can be easily transformed into a toddler bed or bassinet and has wheels to make it easy to move. It also has a canopy that can be used to create an environment more akin to a womb your baby. It adds a fashionable accent to any nursery.

The only issue with this crib is that it doesn't come with a mattress, which you'll need to purchase separately. However, it's a secure and comfortable crib that can be adapted to your child's needs from infant to toddler.

There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.

The safest cribs have no chewable or dangling parts. Babies love to grab objects, and if something is hanging from or above their crib, it could tug against the rails or create an entanglement hazard. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or other objects, they should make sure the items are secured tightly and aren't within reach of Baby.

We also consider how it is easy to build our top cribs for infants. The crib should be easy enough to assemble by yourself, without requiring special tools or a long amount of time. Most parents report that it takes less than one hour to put together a modern crib, and the directions are usually easy to follow.

It's important that you choose a crib that will last many years. For long-lasting use, choose a convertible crib that can be used from the time of infancy until an adult bed and then a full-size bed.

Our favorite 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib, which can replace the bassinet in the early months, and then be converted to a toddler bed daybed, and a full-size bed.
