Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport Cot Bed will look beautiful in a Scandi nursery. It also provides a good variety of versatility with three mattress support height levels and the capability to convert into a toddler bed.

Bassinets are a good option if you have a small cot beds house. Cribs can take up a lot more space. However, many parents prefer a crib due to safety reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best crib for newborn crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and wellbeing. It is important to ensure that the crib is in compliance with current safety standards and is free of any dangers that could cause harm to your child while they sleep. It should be well-constructed and sturdy, with no loose pieces that may catch on clothing or pose danger of choking. It is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use and to regularly inspect the crib.

Check the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to keep your baby's head or limbs getting trapped in between them. You must also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib. If you aren't, the slats are too close together and should be larger.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable, so that you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will lower the chance that your baby will fall out of the crib when they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other security features you should look for. Pick a crib with fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be dangerous for your child. It is also recommended to share a room with your baby for the first six months or so, and then move them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be supervised while sleeping alone.

In the end, you must ensure that the crib is away from windows and radiators and that any hanging objects like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. Also, you should remove any objects that could pose danger to your child's health, such as pillows or blankets. You should also be wary of purchasing second-hand cribs since they may not have met the safety standards of today or been recalled for different reasons.

Design

It is important to remember that cribs can look similar, but must meet the strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we examined are constructed in a similar manner to ensure the structural stability. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or snag babies. We also assessed and rated each crib for how easily it was to use and to assemble. More components can cause confusion, so we recommend choosing one that has simple instructions to reduce frustration.

The Evolur Sprout crib is one of our top ranked cribs picks. It features a chic modern design and comes in a range of colors, including two-toned options. It also comes with an all-purpose mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is another alternative. The crib is sleek, modern and minimalist in design. It's ideal for modern nursery designs. The crib is available in various finishes and comes with four different mattress heights, so your baby can use it from newborn to toddler.

Convertible cribs are an excellent option if you're planning to have more children. Many of these options can transform into a toddler bed, and later a full-size bed giving you a long-lasting investment for the money.

The side rails that slide down were loved by a lot of parents for making feeding at night more secure and easy. They also noted that the crib had enough room for the baby to be comfortable while mom and dad slept.

Mattress

Babies are messy and a washable crib mattress is an essential. Baby spit up and other accidents can make mattresses damp and filthy which can lead to mildew and bacteria that may affect infants. Choose a mattress that can be wiped down with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner, and pick a mattress cover with a waterproof material to help prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress and causing health problems.

A firm crib mattress is best for infants, because it provides the most support to their growing spines. A super-firm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS. This is because an extremely soft mattress increases the likelihood that an infant's head will sink into it.

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

The weight of the crib mattress is a further factor to consider. Sheet changes at night require that you lift and move the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want carry a heavy item, consider choosing a crib mattress that is lighter. 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 constructed of foam instead of inner woven-core, making it more maneuverable when compared to a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that is easy to put together is ideal for parents who are new. Look for one equipped with hardware that is securely held, without sharp edges or rough spots that could irritate your baby's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cuts. These features aren't up to the safety standards of today.

If you're looking for a crib, bear in mind that you'll likely need to buy a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you opt for a convertible crib). These kits are offered separately by a majority of manufacturers. They're often inexpensive, and they'll assist your child in transitioning to a larger bed more smoothly.
