A crib will be a major element in your nursery for a long time so it's crucial to choose a crib you enjoy looking at. Avoid cribs with cutouts and drop-sides, as your child could fall in. Instead, pick one that can easily be transformed into a toddler or daybed.

Safety

We want to give our children the best possible start in life. This begins with a crib that is safe. You don't want to use an old crib that could contain a number of loose or damaged parts, and you definitely shouldn't buy one that's not up to current safety standards. When purchasing a crib ensure that it is certified by the CPSC, ASTM or JPMA certification.

The slats of a crib should be tightly spaced to stop children from catching their fingers or head in the slats and also they shouldn't contain any cut-outs for decorative purposes or other embellishments that could pose an injury risk. A mattress support system is essential to ensure the safety of your crib and should be capable of adjusting to various sizes to accommodate your child as they grow.

You'll also want to avoid dangling objects such as curtains or blind strings, since they pose an opportunity for strangulation for your baby. It is a good idea to inspect your crib on a regular basis for missing or loose items, and replace any that are loosened over time.

Some cribs come with a side panel that can be moved down. However, it will not stay down for long. They are ideal for parents who do not want to share a bed. Make sure to put your crib away from windows and radiators.

If you are looking for an environmentally friendly crib, pick one that is made of wood from sustainable forests. You should also consider a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified. This means it has passed the tests to ensure that it emits no chemical emissions. If you want to go even further, you should look for a crib that's made from sustainable sourced New Zealand pine and is free of lead, the phthalates, BPA, and over 360 other VOCs and chemicals.

Style

If you're planning to work with a minimal or classic style for your nursery, choosing a stylish crib is a must. The SnuzPod4 is sleek and slim which makes it a perfect fit for tight spaces.

Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some other cribs, and you won't have a view of your little one from all four sides. It also occupies more space in the nursery than our other top choices.

While it's a great choice for smaller spaces, its unique design may be difficult to find bedding and sheets for. It's also more bulkier than our other picks and will require to be disassembled to pass through doors that are standard when moving it from room to room.

Standard cribs are usually made of wood such as maple or oak. They can also be made of mahogany, birch, or cherry. They are more durable than other materials, and can withstand nicks and dings much better than soft pine. But be aware that some manufacturers use pine instead of the more durable hardwoods because it's less expensive. This could make the crib more vulnerable to dent and scratches, which may require more frequent cleaning.

Another benefit of the standard crib is that it often includes a toddler rail, which will help to keep your child safe from falling down and climbing. Remember that some cribs designed for toddlers will require you to purchase a separate toddler bed rail.

Convertibility

There are many things to consider when choosing a crib. Think about the size, design, slats and whether it is convertible. It is essential to pick a crib you love as it will be used by your baby for many years. You should also choose the crib that will go with the decor of your home, no matter if it's contemporary or traditional.

A convertible crib is a great option because it can grow with your child until it becomes an infant bed, and eventually to a larger bed. This can save you money in the long run since you don't need to purchase an additional bed for your child.
