Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport cot beds Bed will look beautiful in the Scandi nursery. It's also extremely flexible with three different mattress support heights. Additionally, it can be transformed into an infant's bed.

Cribs consume a lot of space, so bassinets could be a better choice for homes with small spaces. Many parents choose a crib because of security concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it conforms to current safety standards and is free from dangers that could harm your Baby Cot while they sleep. It should be well-constructed and strong, with no loose pieces that may catch on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's directions regarding assembly and use, and to regularly check the crib for indications of wear or damage.

The first thing to check is the space between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to keep your baby's head or limbs from being trapped between them. You should also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib. If you aren't then the slats are close together and should be more spacious.

Another aspect of the crib to be considered is the mattress support system. It must be adjustable to various heights so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the chance that your baby will fall out of the crib as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and a solid and stable structure are additional security features you should be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. It's also better to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then transfer them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be supervised while sleeping alone.

Last but not least, make sure the crib is placed away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are out of reach. Also, you should remove any items that could be danger to your child's health, such as pillows or blankets. Be cautious when buying used cribs, as they may not meet current safety standards, or have been recalled.

Design

While cribs may look all the same, it is crucial to remember that every crib must adhere to strict safety guidelines. This is why the majority cribs we looked at have a similar design 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 the baby. We also examined each crib and evaluated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly. We suggest choosing the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

The Evolur Sprout crib is among our favorites. It has a stylish modern design and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned. It also comes with a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have the lowest amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could release gas into the nursery.

Another alternative is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1. This crib is sleek and modern with minimal features that make it perfect for modern nursery. The crib comes in different colors and four different mattress heights so that your baby can use it as a newborn or toddler. The crib was stable and sturdy. It didn't flex or creak when a large child climbed into it.

If you're thinking of having more children, you may want to consider a convertible crib. Many of these options can be converted into a toddler bed and then a full-size bed, providing a long-lasting product for the money. The Graco Sweet2Sleep Crib is an example of a convertible crib that received excellent marks from our parents who tested it. The side rail that can be removed was highly praised by parents for making nighttime feedings safer and easier. They also noted that the crib was spacious enough room for the baby to be comfortable while dad and mom lay down.

If you are looking for a classic style, the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1 is a solid choice. This crib is more affordable cots than the Stork Craft and is a classic design that is compatible with the majority of nursery decors. It comes with three mattress heights, but it might be a little shallow for some toddlers and small parents.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can come in handy for newborns. Baby spit up and other accidents can make mattresses damp and filthy which can lead to mildew and bacterial infections that could be harmful to infants. Choose a mattress that is easy to clean with mild cleaner or cloth. Also, consider a waterproof cover to prevent fluids from entering the mattress.

Choose a mattress that has been that is rated up to 10 years, so that it can be used for toddlers. A majority of the mattresses that we have reviewed are reversible, with toddler and infant sides. This lets you use them from the time of birth until your child is old enough to be their own bed size.

A firm mattress for the crib is best rated cribs because it supports their spines while they are developing. A mattress that is extremely firm helps to reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to occur when an infant's head sinks into a mattress that is soft.

When looking for a firm crib mattress make sure you examine the label to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a risk to infants. You can also find certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that may harm infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

Another consideration is the weight of a crib mattress. The regular changes to sheets at night require you to lift and move the mattress. If you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or don't want to handle a heavy product, consider choosing a crib mattress that is lighter. For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It is also made of foam instead of woven-core inners. This makes it more comfortable to move around compared to a traditional coil bed.

Assembly

A crib that's simple to assemble is great for parents with young children. Find one equipped with hardware that is securely held with no sharp edges or rough spots that could irritate your baby's skin. Also, stay clear of cribs that have drop-sides or headboard/footboard cutouts as they aren't compatible with the current safety standards.

If you're looking for a crib, keep in mind that you'll require a separate toddler bed conversion kit (if you choose a convertible crib). The majority of manufacturers offer these kits on their own. These kits are often cheap and can help your child make the transition to a larger bed more smoothly.

Many new parents appreciate the long-lasting quality that comes with convertible cribs, and they're a good cribs investment for families with multiple children. These cribs are designed to last and generally can be converted into a toddler bed, daybed, or full-size bed.
