Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport Cot Bed will look beautiful in a Scandi nursery. It's also very adaptable because it comes with three different mattress support heights and can be transformed into a toddler's bed.

Bassinets are a good option if you have a small house. Cribs can take up more space. However, many parents prefer a crib for security reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best cot beds crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and well-being. It is important to ensure that the crib meets the current safety standards and is free from hazards that may cause harm to your baby while they sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, with no loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or create danger of choking. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to check the crib regularly.

Check the distance between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to avoid your baby being able to get their head or limbs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child in the crib. If you aren't reach your baby, the slats may be too close together and should be larger.

The mattress support system is another aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will decrease the chance that your baby will fall out of the crib when they begin to crawl.

Other security features to look out for include an upholstered sheet that fits the mattress in a secure way and solid and stable construction. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one that has drop sides. Drop sides can be dangerous for your child. It is also advisable to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first six months or so, and then move them to their own bedroom when they are old enough to be supervised while sleeping alone.

The last thing to do is ensure that the crib is removed from radiators and windows, and that hanging items such as blind cords or curtains are out of reach. You should also take away anything that could create the risk of choking, such as blankets or Baby Cot pillows. Be wary of purchasing cribs that are secondhand, as they may not meet the safety standards of today or been recalled for other reasons.

Design

While cribs may look all the same, it is important to remember that each must meet strict safety regulations. The majority of cribs we reviewed are designed in a similar way to ensure the structural stability. The majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have gaps or rough surfaces that could catch babies or pinch them. We also tested each crib and rated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly. More components can cause confusion, so we recommend selecting a crib with simple instructions to avoid frustration.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can come in handy for newborns. Diaper leaks, baby spit up and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and filthy that can cause mildew and bacterial infections that could be harmful to infants. Look for a product that can be washed with cloths or cleaned with mild cleaner. Also, choose a waterproof mattress cover to stop liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health problems.

Look for mattresses that are rated to last up to 10 years, which means it's prepared for toddlers and beyond. Many of the mattresses featured in this review are reversible and have infant and toddler sides, which allows you to use them from birth until your child is old enough to be the full-size bed.

A mattress that is firm is ideal for infants, since it will provide the greatest support for their developing spines. A super-firm sleep surface also helps to reduce the risk of SIDS, which is more likely to happen when a child's head is lowered into a soft mattress.

Look over the label on the mattress to confirm that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability, waterproofing, lead and other chemicals that might pose danger to infants. You'll also find certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR-US, GOTS, and CertiPUR-US which are a great sign that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can damage infants their nervous and respiratory systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a crib mattress. If you're unable to lift heavy objects or you don't want to move a heavy item then you might want a lighter mattress. Newton Wovenaire, for example is only 8 pounds while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses featured in this review. It is also made of foam, not woven-core inners, which makes it more maneuverable compared with the heavier coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that is easy to assemble is great for new parents. Choose a crib with hardware that is securely secured with no sharp edges or rough spots that could pinch your Baby Crib's skin. Avoid cribs that have drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet the current safety standards.

If you decide to buy a convertible crib, you'll have to purchase an additional kit to convert it into an adult bed. These kits are offered separately by most manufacturers. They're usually affordable, and will help your child transition into a larger bed more smoothly.
