Top 5 Recommended Cribs

When you buy a crib, you want it to be safe and sturdy. Make sure you choose a solid crib and slats less than 2.4 inches apart.

One of our favorite choices is the Stokke Sleepi Crib. It comes with four different mattress height settings and is made of sustainable and renewable New Zealand pinewood. It also comes with a toddler rail included.

1. Sturdy

A baby spends most of their time in their crib, which is why it's crucial to find one that is strong enough. Look for cribs which meet the safety standards and regulations established by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Product Safety Commission and focus on structural integrity. Avoid cribs with loose parts or rough areas that could cause harm to your child.

Find solid frames and avoid slats which are too close together as this can pose a risk of suffocation. Also, look for a crib that doesn't include decorative cut-outs, or drop sides, as these features can be a hazard to your child.

Also, stay clear of finishes that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as these can affect your cheap baby cots's breathing and sleep. Instead, opt for a crib that has been certified with Greenguard Gold and uses non-toxic materials. Pick a crib with smaller footprints to minimize space and reduce dust build-up in your nursery.

DaVinci Kalani is an excellent choice for a sturdy baby crib as it meets most of our criteria. It's easy to clean, doesn't have exposed hardware that might get snagged on clothing or toys and looks beautiful in a variety of rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't have an infant rail and doesn't have the same number of slat levels as other cribs on this list.

Another crib that we recommend is the Stork Craft Tuscany. It's more expensive than other cribs on this list, but it fulfills all our criteria and is easy to put together. It also has only three mattress height levels which is less than other cribs, but it might be preferable when you're planning to let your child use the crib for a while and would like it to last for longer.

2. Easy to Assemble

In contrast to larger cribs many modern mini cribs don't require a whole day to put together. They're usually ready for use right out of the package, and only take 30 minutes to put together using the tools included. Some even have an integrated toddler bed conversion kit, which saves you the expense and hassle of buying separate pieces later on.

You should always make sure that the crib is well-assembled and that there aren't any gaps or rough surfaces that could snag babies. Be sure to check the quality and quantity of hardware such as screws and bolts. Make sure you tighten them properly but not excessively because this could cause the wood to crack or strip threads. Look for a solid wood crib as it is thought to be safer than metal.

If you're looking at a crib that requires assembly, choose one with simple and straightforward instructions. Some manufacturers provide a video tutorial for those who aren't used to working with furniture pieces. A good guide will include a list with the necessary supplies, such as washers and screws.

Beyond 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 cautious when using hand-me-downs as older cribs may not meet the current safety standards.

The Storkcraft Equinox 3 in 1 is a great option for parents looking for a sleek and modern crib.

4. Eco-Friendly

They are free of harmful chemicals and emissions that are found in other cribs, as well as harmful substances such as PVC, phthalate MDF, and lead. Eco-friendly cribs are generally made from solid wood or sustainable and renewable materials, and most are minimalist in design to reduce the impact on the environment.

The crib has an optional reflux foot that can be connected to the side to create an even slope for infants with reflux.

5. Safety First

Safety should be the top priority when selecting the right crib. Make sure that the crib is well-built and sturdy, equipped with secure hardware and well-fitting fittings. Check that it meets the current CPSC guidelines. This includes having less than 2.375 inches between the slats, no ornamental cutouts in the headboard or the footboard, and corner posts that are in line with the end panels of the crib, or very tall. Anything that is in between poses the risk of strangulation.

Be sure to keep all toys out of the crib, as they can pose the risk of choking or suffocation. Choose a baby monitor with a clear line of sight so that it doesn't hinder your view. Also, ensure that all cords are out of reach of your child and are securely connected. Also, do not keep cushions, blankets or other baby cribs with positioners. These can pose choking and suffocation risks and could be pushed or kicked by your child.

Also, avoid using old cribs as they may have construction elements that are outdated and can cause injuries. Even if the crib is in good condition, it could have slats that are not wide or may be missing hardware. Old cribs can also be painted with lead or loose, dangerous screws and bolts.

The Stork Craft Evolur offers a lot of features at a low price, but it could be too expensive for those who want a simple design. Other options such as the Dream On Me Ashton 4 in 1 or the DaVinci Collby by Carter 4-in 1 offer a similar design but less bells & whistles.
