It also provides a good variety of versatility, with three different mattress support heights and the capability to convert into an infant bed. + +Bassinets are a better choice for those with a small house. Cribs can take up more space. However, a lot of parents prefer a crib due to security reasons. + +Safety + +The choice of the [best crib for newborn](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) crib for newborns is essential to your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that it is in line with the current safety standards, and is free of dangers that could cause harm during sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, with no loose pieces that could catch on clothing or pose the risk of choking. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for signs of wear or damage. + +The first thing you need to check is the spacing between the slats. It shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to avoid your baby being able to get their head or legs trapped between them. You should also be able easily reach and observe your baby's crib. If you aren't see, the slats need to be wider and not so close to each other. + +The mattress support system is a different aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. 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 climbing out of the crib which is a frequent occurrence as they learn to crawl. + +Other safety features to consider include an upholstered sheet that fits the mattress in a secure way, and solid and stable construction. It is also recommended to choose a crib that has fixed sides instead of one with drop sides, which can be dangerous for your baby. You should also be in the same room as your baby until they are old enough for them to be able to go off on their own. + +Last but not least, make sure the crib is kept away from radiators and windows, and that any hanging objects such as blind cords or curtains are out of reach. It is also recommended to remove any objects that could pose a choking hazard, such as blankets or pillows. Be cautious when buying used cribs since they may not meet current safety standards, or have been recalled. + +Design + +It is important to remember that cribs can look similar, but must meet the strict safety standards. To this end, the majority of the cribs we reviewed have a similar design to ensure consistency in terms of structural integrity. Most cribs feature circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could entangle a baby or pinch them. We also tested each crib and rated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly. More parts can mean more confusion, so we suggest selecting a crib with clear instructions that are easy to follow to minimize frustration. + +One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in several colors, including two-toned. It also has a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could release gas into the nursery. + +Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is another option. The crib is sleek, modern and minimalist in appearance. It's perfect for modern nursery designs. The crib comes in various designs and four mattress sizes so that your baby can use it as a toddler or a newborn. We tried the crib and found it to be solid and stable, with no creaking or flexing when a heavy toddler climbed inside. + +If you're planning to have more children, you may think about a convertible crib. They can be transformed into a toddler's bed and then into a larger mattress, giving you the best value for money. The Sweet2Sleep Crib is an example of a convertible crib which received high marks from our parents who tested it. The side rails that slide down were loved by a lot of parents for making nighttime feedings more secure and less stressful. They also said that the crib had enough room for the baby to sleep comfortably while mom and dad lay down. + +If you're looking for a classic style DaVinci's Carter's Colby 4-in-1 is a solid choice. It is less expensive than the Stork Craft and features a classic design that is suitable for any nursery. It comes with three different mattress heights however certain parents and toddlers may feel it is a bit low. + +Mattress + +Newborns are messy creatures, and a clean crib mattress is a must. Spitting up from diapers and baby spit can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty, resulting in mildew or other bacteria that can affect infants. Look for a product that can be washed with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner. Also, choose a waterproof mattress cover to stop fluids from leaking into the mattress and causing health issues. + +Look for a mattress that is rated to last up to 10 years, meaning it's ready for toddlers and beyond. A lot of the mattresses in this review can be reversible, with toddler and infant sides that allows you to use them from birth until your child is ready for a full-size bed. + +A mattress that is firm for the crib is ideal, as it will support their spines while they are developing. A super-firm sleep surface also helps reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to happen when a child's head is lowered into a soft mattress. + +Look over the label of the mattress to make sure it complies with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability, waterproofing lead, as well as other chemicals that could pose risk to infants. You'll also see certifications like Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US, which are a good indication that the mattress has been tested for the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could harm infants' respiratory and nervous systems. + +Another consideration is the weight of a mattress for a crib. The regular changes to sheets at night require you to lift and move the mattress, so if you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or don't want carry a heavy item you should consider a crib mattress that is lighter. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 pounds, which makes it the largest in this review. It is also made of foam, not woven-core inners, which makes it more maneuverable when compared to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more. + +Assembly + +New parents will appreciate a crib that's easy to put together. Look for one with hardware that's firmly secured with without sharp edges or rough spots that could pinch your baby's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cuts -- these features aren't up to today's safety standards. + +If you decide to buy a convertible crib, you'll require an additional kit to convert it into a toddler bed. These kits are offered separately by most manufacturers. These kits are usually inexpensive and will aid your child in making the transition to a larger bed more easily. + +Convertible cribs are a great option for families with multiple children. They are designed to last, and generally can be converted into a daybed, toddler bed or a full-size bed. + +The DaVinci Jaden 4-in-1 crib is a solid-wood crib that's GREENGUARD Gold certified and has four mattress heights. It's traditional in design and is available in slate or white grey to match almost every nursery decor. The crib is easily moved around and has locking wheels. It is suitable for most twin beds. The crib took our test subjects just 23 minutes to put together. + +The Sprout Crib, another top-rated crib, is made of sustainable harvested Baltic birch. It meets all U.S. safety standards, in addition to those of Canada, Australia and Europe. It is a minimalist and stylish design that will fit in with any bedroom decor. The Sprout crib is among the tiniest cribs we tested, weighing only 6kg. It's easy to move and comes with a handy bag for travel. + +A runner-up in our tests, the Oeuf Modern Crib is built from sustainably sourced New Zealand pine. It has received several awards from parenting publications such as BabyCenter and Babble. It has a medium-height design that can be transformed from an infant crib into a toddler bed that has a rail or into a daybed with no rail. It's simple to put together and has lots of appeal.
