Top 5 Recommended Cribs

When you buy a crib, you want it to be secure and durable. Look for solid wood construction and slat spacing under 2.4 inches wide.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is one of our favorites. It includes four mattress sizes and is made from sustainable and renewable New Zealand Pinewood. It also comes with a toddler rail included.

1. Sturdy

A Baby Crib is likely to spend the majority of their time in their crib, so it's important to choose a crib that's sturdy enough. Find cribs that comply with safety regulations and standards established by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Consumer Product Safety Commission, which are focused on the structural integrity of the crib. Also, you should avoid older cribs that may have loose parts or rough spots that could cause harm to your little one.

Find a solid frame, and avoid slats that are too close together, as this can pose a risk of death from suffocation. Also, search for a crib that does not have decorative cut-outs or drop sides, as these features can be a hazard to your child.

Avoid finishes that contain volatile compounds (VOCs) because they may affect your baby’s breathing and sleeping. Instead, choose a crib that is certified with Greenguard Gold and uses non-toxic materials. Select a crib with a a small footprint to minimize space and dust accumulation in your nursery.

Be sure to tighten them securely but not too much as this can cause the wood to crack or tear the threads. Choose a solid wood crib as it is thought to be safer than metal.

Look for cribs that have simple and clear instructions. Some manufacturers provide an instructional video for those who are not used to working with furniture pieces. A good manual should include a list of needed supplies, like screws and washers.

Besides design, size is another aspect to consider. A crib must be big enough to accommodate your baby, but not so big that it won't fit through an ordinary doorway. Also, be wary of using hand-me-downs as older cribs may not be up to the current safety standards.

5. Safety First

Safety should be the first priority when choosing the right crib. Make sure the crib is well-built and sturdy, with secure hardware and firmly fitted fittings. Also, ensure it complies with current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: less than 2.375 inches of space between the slats (that's about the width of a soda bottle) There should be no cutouts or decorative designs in the footboard or headboard and corner posts that are flush with the end panels or are very tall. Anything in between poses a strangulation risk.

Also make sure that all toys are out of the crib as they can pose choking and dangers of suffocation. Choose a baby monitor that is in a clear line of sight to ensure it does not hinder your view. Also, make sure all cords are out of reach of your baby and securely anchored. Don't keep any pillows, blankets or baby cribs with positioners. These items can cause choking and suffocation risks and could be pushed down or kicked by your child.

Beware of cribs that are older, as they could have outdated features that could cause injuries. Even if the crib appears in excellent condition, it could have slats which are too wide or be missing some hardware. Also, old cribs could contain lead-based paint or have loose, dangerous bolts or screws.
