Choosing the Best Crib Newborn
|
||||
|
||||
The Westport Cot Bed will look stunning in the Scandi nursery. It also provides a good deal of flexibility by offering three mattress support levels and the possibility of transforming into a toddler bed.
|
||||
|
||||
Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets could be a better choice in case your home is small. Many parents choose a crib because of security concerns.
|
||||
|
||||
Safety
|
||||
|
||||
The health and well-being of your baby's child is contingent on the crib you select. It is important to ensure that the crib meets the current safety standards and is free of any dangers that could cause harm to your child while they sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, with no loose parts that could get caught on clothing or pose dangers of choking. It is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use, and to check the crib regularly.
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing to check is the spacing between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to prevent your baby from getting their head or limbs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child's crib. If not, the slats should be broader and not as close together.
|
||||
|
||||
The mattress support system is another aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It should be adjustable so you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will decrease the risk of your baby getting out of the crib which is a frequent occurrence as they learn to crawl.
|
||||
|
||||
A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are additional safety features you should look for. Choose a crib with fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. You should also be in the same bedroom as your baby until they are old enough to sleep alone.
|
||||
|
||||
The last thing to do is make sure the crib is kept away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects such as blind cords or curtains are out of reach. You should also remove anything that could create the risk of choking, such as pillows or blankets. Be cautious when buying used cribs as they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalled.
|
||||
|
||||
Design
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to keep in mind that cribs may appear the same but must still adhere to strict safety standards. To this end, the majority cribs we examined have a similar layout to ensure consistency in terms of structural solidity. For example, most have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or pinch a baby. We also evaluated and rated each crib for the ease of put together and use. We recommend choosing the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.
|
||||
|
||||
One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in several colors, including two-toned. Additionally, it features a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can release off-gasses into the nursery.
|
||||
|
||||
Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is another option. The crib is sleek and modern, with minimal details, making it perfect for modern nursery. The crib comes in a variety of finishes and comes with four different mattress sizes, so your baby can use it from birth to toddler. We tested this crib and found it to be extremely solid and stable, with no creaking or flexing when a toddler was seated inside.
|
||||
|
||||
Convertible cribs are a fantastic option if you are planning to have more children. These options can be transformed into a bed for a toddler and then into a larger mattress, giving you an excellent value for your money. The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is a prime example of a convertible crib which received high marks from our test parents. The drop-down side rail was loved by a lot of parents for making nighttime feedings safer and easier. They also noted that the crib offered enough space for their baby to sleep comfortably while mom and dad were asleep.

|
||||
If you prefer a traditional style, the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1 crib is a good choice. This crib is less expensive than the Stork Craft and has a classic design that is suitable for all nursery. It has three different mattress heights, however it might be a little too small for children and parents with small bodies.
|

|
||||
Mattress
|
||||
|
||||
A washable crib mattress will be a great option for babies. Diaper leaks and baby spit-up can cause mattresses to become dirty and damp, resulting in mildew or bacteria that could affect infants. Look for a product that can be cleaned with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner. You should also choose a waterproof mattress cover to prevent liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health problems.
|
||||
|
||||
Look for a mattress that is rated to last up to 10 years, so it will be ready for toddlers and beyond. Many of the mattresses we've discussed here are reversible with toddler and infant sides. This allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is ready to move on to their own bed size.
|
||||
|
||||
A firm crib mattress is best for infants, because it provides the most support to their growing spines. A mattress that is firm and sturdy can also reduce the chance of SIDS. This is due to the fact that a soft mattress increases the chance that a baby's head will sink into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the label of the mattress to confirm that it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing, flammability lead, and other chemicals that might pose danger to infants. There are also certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR-US, GOTS, and CertiPUR-US which are a good indicator that the mattress has been tested for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can harm infants their nervous and respiratory systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Another thing to consider is the weight of a crib mattress. Regular nighttime sheet changes require that you lift and move the mattress. If you struggle lifting heavy objects or aren't able to handle a heavy product, consider choosing a mattress that is lighter for [Cots4Tots](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) your crib. For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, which makes it the heaviest in this review. It is also constructed of foam instead of woven core inners. This makes it more comfortable to move around compared to a heavier traditional coil bed.

|
||||
Assembly
|
||||
|
||||
New parents will appreciate a crib that is easy to build. You should look for the crib that has hardware that is securely secured and without sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs with drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these items aren't in compliance with the safety standards of today.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're looking for a crib, keep in mind that you'll likely require a toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib). These kits are offered separately by a majority of manufacturers. These kits are often cheap and can assist your child to make the transition to a larger bed more smoothly.
|
||||
|
||||
Convertible cribs are a great investment for families who have many children. These cribs are built to last, and they are typically able to be converted into a daybed, toddler bed or a full-size bed.
