Best Infant Cribs Explained In Less Than 140 Characters
페이지 정보
A crib is among the most important pieces for your baby's nursery. However, choosing a suitable crib can be overwhelming particularly with the number of different styles and security concerns.
Choose a crib that meets the highest safety standards and includes no dangling or chewable components. We also suggest a chic crib with a variety of mattress heights as well as a sleek, modern design.
Safety
Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your child's crib. It is important to not place any items in your baby's crib that could cause injury or harm such as blankets, pillows, sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more information). Also, your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears, dolls or stuffed animals larger than 15 inches. These items could easily slide between the crib bars or become stuck within them. They could also be taken up by the mattress.
The best cribs for babies are made from safe materials that are free from VOCs and other toxic chemicals. They also adhere to strict federal laws, local and state regulations for structural safety. They're also tested by a third party to ensure safety and quality. (Think GREENGAURD Gold or ASTM, JMPA or CPSIA certs!) They are also designed to be tough and reversible, which means they'll grow with your child.
It's important that you choose a crib which meets the current safety standards, whether you're purchasing a new or used crib. Secondhand cribs may be weakened in the course of time due to age, humidity and frequent use. This can create serious risks for your baby.
The slats of your crib should be no more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to prevent infants from getting wedged between them and the hardware that is on the crib must be secured. It's also a good idea to inspect the mattress support rims and slats for broken or loose components.
It is recommended to stay clear of cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, since their safety may have been compromised. Don't buy or accept a secondhand crib that has a drop side rail, which was banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2012 for safety reasons.
Style
There are a variety of different designs of cribs, even though they all must meet safety standards. Some are just aesthetic, such as whether the slats are all the same length or placed closer apart and others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to use and maintain. Some features, like finials and drop sides, aren't safe and should be avoided as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress heights and wheels/casters are desirable for many parents.
A crib isn't designed to be used as a place for toys or clothes. It's only intended to be an area where babies can sleep. You can also include a crib on your registry to seek help from family and friends when you need one.
Cribs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the ones we prefer have a mix of style and functionality. The Storkcraft Equinox is a minimalist crib that looks gorgeous. It's also GREENGUARD gold-certified, which we think is a must for any toxic-free product. It can be converted to a daybed or toddler with a separate conversion kit.
Other cribs have a more traditional look, such as the DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1. It's a chic option that can fit in large nurseries. However, it takes up more space than smaller, minimalist alternatives. It has only three levels of mattress which is a fraction of the competition's number. It's not as durable as our other choices.
Another option with modern design is the Babyletto Hudson. The Babyletto Hudson's mesh all-around and hidden hardware improve the flow of air, and Dr. Casares believes that this is an attribute that a lot of new parents will appreciate. It can also be raised to a higher height to ease colic and reflux which makes it suitable for babies aged from birth to 6 months. It's GREENGUARD GOLD certified and comes with a free matching mattress. It's important to remember that this bed is more expensive than the other top picks, and it requires an additional conversion kit to accommodate toddler cot beds for sale.
Adjustable Mattress Height
It is crucial that the mattress on your baby's crib is the right height. This will prevent your child from escaping the crib, which can be fatal or dangerous. A mattress that is higher can protect your baby from heat exhaustion or suffocation.
A good crib will have adjustable slats or railings that allow you to raise or lower the mattress as your child grows. Most good cribs will also come with a conversion kit, so you can convert the crib into an adult daybed or a toddler Mini Cot Bed once your little one outgrows it. It's an excellent idea to select a crib that has been tested and certified by a third-party institution. This includes the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) seal and GREENGUARD Gold certification that means it has been tested to ensure there aren't any chemical or other finishes in the crib where your baby sleeps.
The Graco Sweet2Sleep crib has simple design and doesn't have confusing parts. It is among the most highly-rated cribs. The sides of the crib are a bit shorter than many other models, but one parent tester said that her child was comfortable in it and remained in good condition when she gave it to a friend following the birth of her second child.
Another great option is the Stokke Sleepi Crib, which is a unique oval-shaped design that gives it a contemporary style. It's a bit more costly than the majority of cribs, but it's durable and comes with many features to make up for the cost. It is able to be converted into a bassinet or toddler bed and comes with wheels that make it easy to move around. It also has a canopy that can be used to create an atmosphere more akin to a womb your baby. It adds a fashionable design to any nursery.
The crib doesn't come with mattresses. You'll need to purchase a mattress separately. It's a safe and comfortable crib that can be adapted to your child's needs from infant to toddler.
There are no dangling or chewable ingredients.
The safest cribs are those that do not have chewable or dangling parts. Babies love to grab things, and if something is hanging from or above their crib it could pull on the rails or become an injury to strangulation. If a parent decorates their crib with toys or decorative objects, they should make sure they secure the items and not in reach of Baby.
In addition to the security features of our best cribs for infants, we also take into consideration how easy it is to assemble. The ideal crib will be simple enough to be able to build it yourself and doesn't require special tools or long assembly time. Most parents report that the assembly of a modern crib takes less than an hour and the instructions included are generally clear and easy to follow.
A crib is the most expensive purchase for new parents, so it is essential to choose one that will last for a long time to be. For long-lasting use, choose a convertible crib that will be used from the time of infancy until the toddler bed, and then an adult-sized bed.
Our top pick for a 4-in-1 convertible crib is the Ikea Nestig Cloud Crib that can be used to replace the bassinet in the early months, and later convert to a toddler bed daybed, and a full-size bed. It's designed for the long haul and is available in a variety of colors, making it easy to match your nursery design theme.
Another excellent choice is the Stork Craft Equinox 3-in-1 crib. This gorgeous, minimal-style crib is low-profile which makes it easier for petite parents to touch their child and comfort their child. It also has a great reputation for quality and is available in cherry, white and espresso colors as well as natural pine colors.
This crib is Greenguard Gold Certified, which means that it is constructed from sustainable New Zealand pine and is free of harmful substances like lead and phthalates. It also surpasses standards set by the government such as ASTM, CPSC and JPMA. The only thing missing is a toddler rail, which you can buy separately. This is an excellent option for those who are looking for a quality, affordable cots crib that will last.
