Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport cot beds for sale Bed is an elegant crib that will look stunning in a Scandi-design nursery. It's also extremely flexible because it comes with three different mattress support heights and can be converted into a toddler's bed.

Bassinets are a better choice if you have a small home. Cribs can take up more space. Many parents prefer a crib due to safety reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and wellbeing. It is important to ensure that the crib is in compliance with current safety standards and is free of dangers that could harm your baby while they sleep. It should be sturdy and well-constructed, with no loose parts that could catch on clothing or create the risk of choking. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly and use and regularly inspect the crib for signs of wear or damage.

The first thing you need to check is the spacing between slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from being able to get their head or limbs caught between them. You must also be able to easily reach and observe your baby's crib. If you aren't, the slats should be wider and not as close together.

Another aspect of the crib to be considered is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable to different heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will reduce the risk of your baby getting out of the crib which is a frequent situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that is secure enough to fit over the bed and solid and sturdy construction are additional security features you should look for. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides could be dangerous for your child. It is also recommended to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first 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, ensure that the crib is removed from windows and radiators, and that dangling items like blind cords or curtains are not in reach. Also, you should remove any items that might pose danger to your child's health like pillows or blankets. Be wary of buying second-hand cribs, since they may not be in compliance with the safety standards of today or been recalled for different reasons.

Design

It is important to keep in mind that cribs can look identical, but they must adhere to strict safety standards. The majority of cribs we looked at were designed in a similar fashion to ensure the structural solidity. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could entangle or pinch a baby. We also tested and rated each crib on how easily it was to put together and use. More components can cause confusion, so we suggest choosing one that has clear instructions that are easy to follow to minimize frustration.

The Evolur Sprout crib is one of our favorites. It is stylish contemporary design and is available in a variety of colors, including two-toned options. It also has a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can off-gas into the nursery.

Many of them said that the side rails with a drop-down feature made feeding their baby at night easier and safer, and that the crib was big enough for a baby who was sleeping with the parents to feel comfortable while mom and dad were sleeping.

It comes with three mattress heights, however it may be a bit shallow for some toddlers and petite parents.

Mattress

Newborns are messy creatures, and a crib mattress that is washable is essential. Diaper leaks and baby spit-up can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty and result in mildew or bacterial growth that could be harmful to infants. Find a mattress cover that can be washed with cloths or cleaned with mild cleaner. You should also choose a waterproof mattress cover to prevent fluids from seeping into the mattress and causing health issues.

Look for mattresses that are rated to last up to 10 years, which means it's ready for toddlers and beyond. A lot of the mattresses in this review can be reversible, with infant and toddler sides, that allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is ready to move on to the full-size bed.

A firm crib mattress is best for infants, because it provides the greatest support for their growing spines. A firm sleeping surface will also lower the risk of SIDS. This is because mattresses that are soft increase the possibility that a child's head will sink into it.

Look over the label on the mattress to make sure it complies with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a risk for infants. You'll also see certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR, GOTS and CertiPURUS, which are a good indicator that the mattress has been tested for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can damage infants' respiratory cots and tots nervous systems.

Another factor to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. Sheet changes at night require you to move and lift the mattress. If you have difficulty lifting heavy objects or aren't able to take on a heavy product then consider getting 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 is 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It's also made of foam instead of inner woven-core, making it much easier to move around in comparison to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more.

Assembly

A crib that is easy to assemble is great for parents with young children. Choose a crib with hardware that is securely secured and has no sharp edges or rough spots that could rub your Baby Cot's skin. Also, avoid any cribs with drop-sides or cutouts for the headboard and footboard -- these features aren't compatible with today's safety standards.

If you decide to buy a convertible crib, you'll need to purchase a separate kit for converting it into a toddler bed. These kits are offered separately by a majority of manufacturers. These kits are typically cheap and can help your child make the transition to a larger bed more easily.

Many new parents appreciate the durability that can be found in convertible cribs, and they're a good choice for families with several children. The cribs are built to last and can be transformed into daybeds, toddler beds, or full-size beds.
