Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

Cribs consume a lot of space, so bassinets could be a better option in case your home is small. However, many parents prefer a crib for security reasons.

Safety

The choice of the Best crib For newborn crib for newborns is essential to your baby's health and well-being. You should ensure that it conforms to current safety standards and is free of any dangers that could cause harm to your child during their sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, without loose parts that might catch on clothing or pose a choking hazard. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's directions regarding assembly and use, and to regularly check the crib for signs of wear or damage.

Check the distance between the slats. It shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from getting their head or limbs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child's crib. If not, the slats should be broader and not as close together.

The mattress support system is another aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It should be adjustable to different heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the risk that your child will climb out of the crib as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is secure enough to fit over the bed and a solid and stable structure are other security features you should be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one that has drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. It is also advisable to share a room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then move them into their own room when they are old enough to be supervised when they are sleeping on their own.

The last thing to do is ensure that the crib is removed from radiators and windows, and that hanging items such as curtains or blind cords are out of reach. You should also remove items that could be the risk of choking like pillows or blankets. You should also be wary of purchasing second-hand cribs as they may not have met the safety standards of today or been recalled for other reasons.

Design

It is crucial to keep in mind that cribs may look identical, but they must comply with strict safety standards. For this reason, most cribs we examined are of a similar design to ensure uniformity of structural integrity. For example, most have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could entangle or squeeze babies. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly. We recommend choosing the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

One of our favorites is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which has an elegant, contemporary design and comes in several color options, including some two-toned. It also has a universal mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Mattress

A washable crib mattress will come in handy for newborns. Diaper leaks and baby spit-up can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty, resulting in mildew or bacteria that could affect infants. Choose a mattress that can be wiped down with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner, and select a mattress cover that is waterproof to help prevent liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health issues.

Look for mattresses that are rated to last 10 years, which means it will be ready for toddlers and beyond. Many of the mattresses we've discussed here are reversible with infant and toddler side. This lets you use them from birth up until your child is old enough to be their full-size bed.

A mattress that is firm for the crib is ideal because it can support their spines as they are developing. A firm sleeping surface reduces the chance of SIDS which is more likely to occur when a baby's head sinks into a soft mattress.

Examine the label on the mattress to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability, waterproofing lead, and other chemicals that might pose danger to infants. You'll also see certifications such as Greenguard CertiPUR, GOTS and CertiPURUS, which are a good indicator 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 crib mattress. If you're not able to lift heavy objects, or you don't wish to move an item that weighs a lot it is possible to choose a lighter mattress. For example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It is also made of foam rather than inners with woven-core that makes it more maneuverable compared with a heavier traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's easy to assemble is great for parents who are new. You should look for a crib with firmly-secured hardware and with no sharp edges or rough patches that could rub the skin of your baby. Also, stay clear of cribs with drop-sides, or cutouts for the headboard and footboard as they aren't compatible with today's safety standards.

If you decide to purchase a convertible crib, you will require a separate kit for converting it into an adult bed. The majority of manufacturers sell these kits separately. These kits are typically affordable and can assist your child to make the transition to a bigger bed more smoothly.
