Safety
|

|
|

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and well-being. You should ensure that it meets the current safety standards and is free from dangers that could harm your baby as they sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, with no loose pieces that could catch on clothing or create a choking risk. It is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to check the crib regularly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first thing to check is the spacing between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches to prevent your baby from getting their head or legs trapped between them. You should also be able easily reach and see your baby's crib. If you aren't reach your baby, the slats must be wider and not so close to each other.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It must be adjustable to various levels so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will decrease the chance of your child getting out of the crib as is a common occurrence as they learn to crawl.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other safety features to consider include a fitted sheet that fits the mattress in a secure way as well as solid and stable construction. It is also recommended to choose a crib that has fixed sides instead of ones with drop sides, which can be hazardous for your baby. You should also sleep in the same room with your baby until they are old enough to be able to sleep on their own.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, you should ensure that the crib is positioned away from radiators and windows and that any hanging objects like curtains or blind cords are out of their reach. It is also recommended to remove any objects that could pose the risk of choking like blankets or pillows. Be careful when purchasing used cribs since they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalled.

Design

It is important to remember that cribs may appear identical, but they must comply with strict safety standards. The majority of cribs we examined are constructed in a similar manner to ensure the structural stability. The majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could trap a baby or pinch them. We also examined each crib and evaluated it for its ease of use and assembly. We recommend choosing the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

Convertible cribs are a fantastic option if you plan to have more children.

Babies are messy and a washable crib mattress is a must. Spitting up from diapers and baby spit can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty and result in mildew or bacterial growth that could affect infants. Find a mattress cover that can be washed with cloths or cleaned with mild cleaner. Also, choose a waterproof mattress cover to stop liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health problems.

Find mattresses that are rated to last up to 10 years, which means it's prepared for toddlers and beyond. Many of the products discussed here are reversible with infant and toddler side. This allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is old enough to be their own bed size.

A mattress that is firm is best for infants, because it provides the greatest support for their growing spines. A mattress that is extremely firm helps to reduce the chance of SIDS which is more likely to occur when a child's head is lowered into a mattress that is soft.
|

|
|
||||||
|
Examine the label of the mattress to confirm that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing, flammability, lead and other chemicals that could pose a hazard to babies. You can also find certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that could affect infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

The weight of the crib mattress is another thing to take into consideration. The regular changes to sheets at night require you to move and lift the mattress. 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 example the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 lbs, making it the largest in this review. It is also made of foam instead of inner woven-core, making it more maneuverable compared with a heavier traditional coil mattress.

You should look for the crib that has hardware that is securely secured, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could rub the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs that have drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts. These features don't meet the current safety standards.

If you decide to purchase a convertible crib, you'll need to purchase a separate kit for converting it into an adult bed. These kits are offered separately by the majority of manufacturers. These kits are usually inexpensive and will help your child make the transition to a larger bed more easily.
