Top 5 Recommended Cribs

When you purchase a crib you want it to be safe and sturdy. Look for solid construction and slats that are less than 2.4 inches apart.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is one of our favorites. It comes with four different mattress height settings and is made of renewable and sustainable New Zealand pinewood. It comes with a toddler's bed.

1. Sturdy

It is essential that the crib is sturdy because a baby will spend the majority of his or her time in it. Find cribs that meet the safety standards and regulations set by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Product Safety Commission and focus on structural integrity. Also, consider avoiding older cribs that may have loose parts or rough areas that could harm your baby.

Find solid frames and stay clear of slats that are too close as this could increase the danger of suffocation. Also, search for a crib that does not include decorative cut-outs, or drop sides, as these features can be dangerous for your child.

Also, avoid finishes that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) because they can affect your baby's breathing and sleep. Instead, select cribs that are certified with Greenguard Gold and uses non-toxic materials. It is also beneficial to select a crib with a minimal footprint, as it will reduce the space in your nursery and limit dust accumulation.

DaVinci Kalani is an excellent choice for a sturdy Baby Crib (knowing it) because it meets all of our criteria. It is easy to clean and doesn't include exposed hardware that can be caught on clothing or toys. It also looks beautiful in the majority of rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't have a toddler rail or as many slats as other cribs on this list.

Stork Craft Tuscany is another crib that we recommend. It's more expensive than the other cribs on this list but it fulfills all our criteria and is easy to put together. It has only three levels of mattress, which is fewer than other cribs. However, if you plan on using the crib for several years, it may be more suitable for your needs.

2. Easy to Assemble

A majority of modern mini cribs do not need the time of a whole day to put together unlike some of the larger cribs. In fact, most are ready to use out of the box, taking around 30 minutes to assemble with the included tools. Some even have an integrated toddler bed conversion kit which will save you the cost and hassle of purchasing separate pieces later.

Of course, you should always ensure that the crib is firmly constructed with no gaps or rough areas that could snag your baby. Be sure to check the quality and quantity of the hardware, especially bolts and screws. Make sure you tighten them up securely but not excessively because this could cause the wood to break or strip the threads. Also consider a solid-wood crib, which is considered safer than metal.

If you're thinking about buying a crib that requires assembly, look for one with simple and straightforward instructions. Some manufacturers offer an instructional video that can be helpful for those who may not be used to working with furniture parts. A good guide should also include a list with the necessary tools, including washers and screws.

Besides design, size is another consideration. A crib should be large enough for your child, but not so large that it can't fit through an opening of a standard size. Be wary of using hand-me-downs as older cribs might not meet the current safety standards.

The Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is a fantastic option for those looking for a sleek, modern crib. It is constructed from sturdy and sustainable New Zealand Pinewood and has three mattress options.

3. Convertible

As opposed to car seats and strollers cribs don't come with many "features." However it doesn't mean that parents shouldn't take into consideration other factors like aesthetics, cost and how long the crib will last. Consider an adjustable crib if you want a crib that lasts until toddlerhood. This will help save space and money, as well as make it easier to replace the mattress as your baby grows.

Some cribs are contaminated with harmful emissions and chemicals, and toxic substances like PVC, MDF, phthalate and lead.

5. Safety First

When selecting a crib, safety should be your top priority. Make sure that the crib is strong and well-constructed with firmly-fitted and secured hardware. Check that it meets the current CPSC guidelines. This includes: less than 2.375 inches between the slats, no ornamental cutouts in the headboard or Cot Sets footboard, and corner posts that are either flush with the panels at the end of the crib or extremely tall. Anything that is in between poses the risk of strangulation.

Keep all toys away from the crib, as they can pose the risk of choking or suffocation. Select a monitor for your baby that has a clear line-of-sight so that it doesn't interfere with your view. Also, make sure that all cords are not within reach of your child and are securely connected. Don't keep any pillows, blankets or baby cribs with positioners. These items can cause choking and suffocation risks, and can be pushed down or kicked by your child.

Also, avoid using older cribs since they could contain outdated features that could cause injuries. Even if the crib appears in good condition, it may have slats which are too wide or lack hardware. Old cribs could also have lead-based paint or loose, dangerous bolts and screws.
