Choosing the best cots Crib

A crib is a crucial fixture in your nursery for many years and it's essential to pick one you love seeing. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides, since your child could fall in. Instead, opt for one that can easily be transformed to a daybed or toddler.

Safety

We want to give our children the best cot bed start in life. This begins with a crib that's safe. You shouldn't use an infant crib with a lot loose or missing pieces, nor do you want one that doesn't meet the current safety standards. When purchasing a crib ensure that it is certified by the CPSC, ASTM or JPMA certification.

The slats that comprise the crib must be spaced so that children aren't catching their fingers or head in them and should not have any decorative cutouts or other decorations which could cause injury risk. A mattress support system is also vital to the crib's safety, and it should be able to adjust to different heights to accommodate your Baby Cot as they develop.

Avoid hanging objects such as blind strings or curtains, because they could strangle your child. Be sure to check your crib for missing or loose items and replace them if necessary.

Some cribs have an additional side panel that can be removed, but it won't stay down for long. These are useful for parents who want to co-sleep, but without the dangers of bed-sharing, but make sure that you're positioned in a space free of windows and radiators and that your child isn't too close to the window or curtain sill.

If you're seeking a crib that is eco-friendly, think about one made from wood sourced from sustainable forests. You should also consider a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified. This means that it has passed a series of tests to ensure low chemical emissions. If you're looking to go a step further, you should look for a crib made of sustainable sourced New Zealand pine and is free of lead, the phthalates, BPA, and over 360 other chemicals and VOCs.

Style

If you're looking to design a classic or minimalist nursery, a stylish crib can be a wonderful option. The SnuzPod4 is slim and sleek and is a great fit for tight spaces. It's GREENGUARD Certified and has the option of a lower-height mattress. Maria Martin, Mother & Baby's Editor, said that the crib was "up there with the best-looking cribs we've ever seen even among sea grey!"

This classic high-back Baby Crib (Suggested Web site) is made of solid New Zealand Pinewood and is available in a variety contemporary colors that can be matched to any style. It's heavier than the other cribs we've evaluated, but is sturdy enough to last through toddlerhood and beyond. Its longer sides make it less aesthetically-pleasing than some finish. In addition, it has three adjustable mattress height settings and a low profile that makes it simple to get your baby in and out of the crib. It is easy to assemble this crib and takes less than 15 minutes to assemble using an electric drill or driver.

Another good option is the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 convertible crib. This crib is a good value and GREENGUARD Gold Certified. It is a classic crib that can be transformed into the toddler bed or daybed. The crib is easy to assemble, and its low profile makes it easy for parents to move into and out.

The last crib on our list is the Oeuf Brooklyn convertible crib. This crib is ideal for minimalists looking to keep their bedroom simple and clean. This chic crib can be converted into a full-size toddler bed by purchasing an additional rail and kit. This crib is made in Italy and is made using environmentally-friendly manufacturing methods. It is also GREENGUARD gold certified and is designed to be used alongside the brand's mattresses that are free of toxic substances.

Budget

A quality crib will have a sturdy construction and simple assembly instructions. This will make the installation relatively painless. A chic design that complements your nursery decor is important. There are a variety of models of cribs that can be purchased at different costs.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed, for example, is one of the most flexible options that are available. It can be used as a bassinet crib or a toddler bed. It can also be used to gently rock your baby to slumber or create an easy slope for reflux babies. The canopy and drape rods provide the baby with an ambiance that is warm and womb-like. It can also serve as a portable play space that provides your child with a safe and comfortable space to rest while traveling.

Another option that doesn't sacrifice on style is the Oeuf Sparrow crib, which combines a modern aesthetic with sustainable materials. The solid Birch and Baltic birch wood plywood crib is made sustainably in Europe and is able to be passed on to children. It is compliant with all CPSC standards and does not have drop-sides, decorative cutouts or sharp edges that could catch clothing. It is easy to dress using sheets and does not have sharp edges.

Some parents may want a minimal crib to complement their contemporary or modern home, while others may prefer a more formal design that is suited to the room's decor. If your preference falls in the latter category, consider the Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib. This stylish model can be converted from a bassinet into an infant crib and then a full-size crib, without the need for bars or mattresses.

If you are a parent who isn't a fan of the fussiness of a crib, pick one that is more simple and clean in appearance. The Union 3-in-1 and Babyletto Hudson cribs both have all the pieces you need to help your baby grow into a toddler. However, they sport a more traditional look in comparison to other models like the Storkcraft Equinox 3 in 1 or Dream on Me Ashton 5 in 1.
