Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets could be a better choice in case your home is small. Many parents prefer a crib for security reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best cot newborn crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and well-being. You want to make sure that the crib meets current safety standards and is free of dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be well-constructed and sturdy, without loose pieces that could catch on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is essential to follow the directions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to regularly inspect the crib.

Check the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to keep your baby's head or legs from getting caught between them. You must also be able to easily reach and see your baby's crib. If you cannot, the slats should be wider and not as close to each other.

Another aspect of the crib to be considered is the mattress support system. It is important to adjust the heights so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will decrease the possibility of your baby leaving the crib as is a common situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is able to fit the bed securely and solid and sturdy construction are additional security features you should look for. It is also recommended to choose a crib with fixed sides rather than ones with drop sides, which could be hazardous for your baby. You should also sleep in the same room with your baby until they are old enough for them to sleep alone.

Finally, you should ensure that the crib is positioned away from windows and radiators, and that any dangling objects such as curtains or blind cords are out of their reach. Also, you should remove any items that might pose danger to your child's health, such as pillows or blankets. Be cautious of purchasing second-hand cribs because they may not meet the current safety standards or been recalled for different reasons.

Design

It is crucial to keep in mind that cribs may appear identical, but they must meet the strict safety standards. To this end, the majority of the cribs beds we reviewed have a similar layout to ensure consistency of structural integrity. Most cribs feature circular bars with no gaps or rough surfaces that could entangle the baby or squeeze them. We also tested each crib and rated it for its user-friendliness and assembly. We suggest selecting the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can be a great option for babies.

A firm crib mattress is ideal for infants, because it will provide the greatest support for their growing spines. A super-firm sleeping surface can also reduce the risk of SIDS. This is due to the fact that an extremely soft mattress increases the likelihood that an infant's head will sink into it.

If you are in search of a firm crib mattress be sure to check the label to make sure that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability, waterproofing lead, and other chemicals that could be a hazard to babies. You'll also see certifications such as Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US which are a good sign that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can harm infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

The weight of the crib mattress is a further factor to consider. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or you don't want to move a heavy item then you might want an easier mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example weighs only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses featured in this review. It is also made of foam, not woven-core inners, which makes it easier to maneuver when compared to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more.

Assembly

A crib that's simple to put together is ideal for parents who are new. You want to find a crib with firmly-secured hardware and without sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs with drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts. These features don't meet today's safety standards.
