Safety

The health and well-being of your baby is dependent on the crib you choose. You must ensure that it meets current safety standards and is free from any dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, with no loose parts that could get caught on clothing or pose dangers of choking. It is crucial to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use and to check the crib regularly.

The first thing to check is the spacing between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to keep your baby's head or limbs from getting trapped in between them. You should be able to see and reach your baby's crib. If you aren't reach your baby, the slats must be wider and not so close together.

The mattress support system is a different aspect to think about when choosing the crib. It is important to adjust the levels so that you can lower the mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the possibility of your baby leaving the crib, which is a common event as they begin to crawl.

Other security features to look out for include the fitted sheet that is able to fit the mattress with ease and an enduring and solid construction. Choose a crib with fixed sides instead of one that has drop sides. Drop sides could be dangerous for your child. It's also better to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then move them into their own bedroom once they are old enough to be supervised when they sleep on their own.

Also, make sure that the crib is positioned away from windows and radiators and that any hanging objects such as blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. You should also take away any items that could present a choking risk such as blankets or pillows. Be careful when purchasing used cribs, as they may not meet current safety standards, or have been removed from the market.

Design

It is crucial to remember that cribs can look the same but must still adhere to strict safety standards. For this reason, most cribs we examined have a similar design to ensure consistency in terms of structural quality. Most cribs have circular bars without gaps or rough surfaces that could trap a Cheap Baby Cots For Sale (Loveis.App) or pinch them. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its user-friendliness and assembly. More parts can lead to more confusion, so we recommend choosing one that has clear instructions that are easy to follow to avoid frustration.

Mattress

A crib mattress that can be cleaned will come in handy for newborns. Spitting up from diapers and baby spit can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty, resulting in mildew or other bacteria that can be harmful to infants. Look for a product that can be washed with a cloth or scrubbed with mild cleaner. Also, pick a mattress cover with a waterproof material to prevent fluids from leaking into the mattress and causing health issues.

A firm crib mattress is best for infants, since it will provide the most support to their growing spines. A super-firm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS. This is due to the fact that mattresses that are soft increase the likelihood that an infant's head will sink into it.

Check the label of the mattress to confirm that it complies with 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 such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which prove that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that could affect babies' respiratory and nervous systems.

The weight of the crib mattress is another thing to take into consideration. Regular nighttime sheet changes require that you lift and move the mattress, so if you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or aren't able to take on a heavy product, consider choosing 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 weighs 20 lbs, making it the largest in this review. It is also made from foam instead of woven-core inners. This makes it much easier to move around in comparison to a heavier traditional coil bed.

Assembly

A crib that is easy to assemble is great for parents who are new. You should choose the crib that has hardware that is securely secured and with no sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs with drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these items aren't in compliance with the current safety standards.
