Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and well-being. It is important to ensure that the crib is in compliance with current safety standards and is free from hazards that may cause harm to your child as they sleep. It should be well-constructed and sturdy, without loose pieces that could catch on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's directions for assembly and use, and check the crib regularly for indications of wear or damage.

Check the distance between the slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart to prevent your baby's head or limbs from getting caught between them. You should be able to see and reach your child's crib. If you cannot 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 should be adjustable so you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will lower the chance that your child will climb out of the crib once they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and solid and sturdy construction are other security features to be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be dangerous for your child. It's also better to sleep in the same room with your baby for six months or so, and only move them into their own bedroom when they are old enough to be watched when they are sleeping 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. Also, you should remove any items that could present danger of choking like blankets or pillows. Be wary of purchasing second-hand cribs since they may not be in compliance with current safety standards or have been recalled due to other reasons.

Design

While cribs may look all similar, it's important to keep in mind that all must adhere to strict safety standards. For this reason, most of the cribs we reviewed are of a similar design to ensure consistency of structural quality. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could catch or pinch a baby. We also examined each crib and evaluated it based on its ease of use and assembly. We suggest selecting the crib with less parts to avoid confusion.

One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which comes with an elegant, modern design and comes in a variety of colors, including two-toned.

Mattress

A mattress that is firm is the best choice for infants because it will provide the most support to their developing spines. A super-firm sleep surface also reduces the risk of SIDS which is more likely to happen when a child's head is lowered into a mattress that is soft.

There are also certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which prove 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 consider. Sheet changes at night require you to move and lift the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want to handle a heavy product, consider choosing a mattress that is lighter for your crib. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress Dual Firmness weighs 20 lbs, making it the heaviest in this review.

Assembly
