How to Choose the Best Infant Cribs

The crib is an extremely crucial piece for the nursery of your baby. It isn't easy to select the right crib, with so many designs and safety concerns.

Choose a crib that meets the highest safety standards and has no chewable or dangling parts. We also recommend a stylish crib that has a variety of mattress sizes and an elegant, modern design.

Safety

Follow the safe sleep guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your Baby Crib's crib. It is crucial to avoid putting any items in the crib of your child that could potentially cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows as well as sheepskins, stuffed toys, and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information).

These items could easily fall into or be stuck between your baby and the crib bars, or be swallowed by the mattress.

It is best to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety could be at risk. Don't buy or purchase a secondhand crib that has an incline side rail, which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for safety reasons.

Style

Although all cribs must meet strict safety standards, there are many design differences. Some are purely aesthetic, such as if the slats are the same length or placed closer apart and others have a real impact on the ease of the crib to use and maintain. Certain features, like drop sides and finials aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels, are desirable by many parents.
