Top 5 Recommended Cribs

When you purchase a crib you want it to be safe and durable. Make sure you choose a solid wood crib and slat spacing that is less than 2.4 inches wide.

One of our top rated cots picks is the Stokke Sleepi Crib. It comes with four different mattress heights and is made out of renewable and sustainable New Zealand Pinewood. It also includes an infant rail.

1. Sturdy

The majority of a baby's time is spent in their time in their crib, so it's important to find one that is strong enough. Look for cribs that meet safety regulations and standards set by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Consumer Product Safety Commission, which focus on the structural integrity of the crib. Avoid cribs with loose parts or rough areas which could hurt your child.

Choose solid frames and stay clear of slats that are too close together as this could increase the danger of being suffocated. Choose a crib with no decorative cutouts, or drop-sides since these options could be dangerous for your child.

Avoid finishes that contain volatile compounds (VOCs) because they could affect your baby’s breathing and sleeping. Instead, choose a crib that has been certified with Greenguard Gold and uses non-toxic materials. It's also beneficial to select the crib with the smallest footprint, since it can make room in your nursery and reduce dust accumulation.

The DaVinci Kalani is a great option for a solid crib, since it meets the majority of our requirements. It's easy to clean, doesn't have any exposed hardware that might get caught on toys or clothing, and it looks great in all rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't include a toddler rail and doesn't have the same amount of slats like other cribs on this list.

Another crib we recommend is the Stork Craft Tuscany. It's more expensive than other cribs on this list but it meets all of our criteria and is easy to put together. It only has three levels of mattress, which is fewer than other cribs. If you intend to use the crib for a long time, it may be more suitable for your needs.

2. Easy to Assemble

Modern mini cotbed cribs don't require the time of a whole day to put together unlike larger cribs. They're usually ready for use right out of the package, and require only 30 minutes to put together with the included tools. Some even have an integrated toddler bed conversion kit which will save you the cost and hassle of purchasing separate pieces later on.

Always ensure that the crib is properly assembled and that there are no gaps or rough surfaces that could catch babies. Pay attention to the quality and quantity of the hardware such as screws and bolts. Be sure that they are securely tightened however, don't over-tighten them, which could result in broken threads or wood cracks. Also look for a solid wood crib, which is considered safer than metal.

Look for cribs that have easy and clear instructions. Some manufacturers provide a video tutorial, which is helpful for those who might not be accustomed to working with furniture components. A good guide should include a list of supplies, like screws and washers.

Size is also important. A crib must be big enough to accommodate your child, but not so big that it can't be accessed through a standard doorway. Also, be wary of using hand-me-downs because older cribs may not meet current safety standards.

The Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is a fantastic option for those who want an elegant, modern crib. It is constructed of durable and sustainable New Zealand Pinewood and has three mattress options. It's got more exposed hardware than some of the other options on this list however, some users found it more difficult to put together than necessary due to mislabeled parts and unclear instructions.

3. Convertible

If you're looking for a crib that will last through toddlerhood and beyond, think about one that converts into a full-size bed or daybed. If you're looking for a crib that will last into toddlerhood and beyond, consider purchasing one that converts into a full-size bed or daybed. This will save space and money, making it easier to change the mattress as your baby grows.

Although most cribs that transform into full-size cot beds are an afterthought, you simply remove the side and replace it by an extended rail. Oeuf has created a stylish crib that can be transformed into a bed frame. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified minimalist, stylish, and looks nice in almost every nursery. You can also bundle it with matching trundle beds or dressers to create a seamless design.

The crib is larger than the other cribs in our tests, and it may use up more space in your nursery than the other cribs however, it's a stunning piece that can stand the test of time. Parent testers say it's sturdy and easy to put together, even for those who don't have the skills. It also has three adjustable mattress heights. This allows you to begin your baby in a low position, which is easy for caregivers and then raise the mattress as they grow older.

This crib that converts to a convertible is more traditional than the other two cribs on this list. It's ideal for parents who are looking for a crib to fit in the formal nursery. It is also simple to set up and comes with a set toddler conversion rails. This eliminates the need to buy them separately. It does feature exposed metal hardware, which may be a problem for certain people.

4. Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly cribs create the best of both worlds, providing a safe and secure sleeping environment for your child while also promoting sustainable environmental practices. Other cribs can contain harmful chemicals and emissions and toxic substances like PVC, MDF, phthalate and lead. Eco-friendly cribs are usually made of solid wood or sustainable and renewable materials, and a lot of them have a minimal design to reduce the impact on the environment. They are typically easy to build and convert, and some include an adjustable dresser or changing tray attached that can save space in the nursery.

Some brands offer eco-friendly cribs which can be transformed into an infant bed or a full-sized bed. They might also come with additional features, such as a built-in changing table or storage compartments. They must be durable and sturdy to withstand frequent use and cleaning. The best eco-friendly baby cribs are made of non-toxic organic materials with low-VOC coating.

An excellent example of an eco-friendly crib is the Bloom Alma crib. The model is constructed from sustainable birchwood, and it is free of toxic finishes or parts. It is Greenguard Certified and meets all safety requirements. It is a great choice for parents looking for an elegant crib design that is easy to maintain and Baby Cot Bed is eco-friendly.

Namesake is another option that offers an elegant design and top-quality construction at a low cost. Its sturdy slats, made from high-quality hardwood are Greenguard Gold certified to have low chemical emissions. The crib is equipped with an reflux foot that can be attached to the side to create a gentle slope for babies with reflux.

5. Safety First

Safety should be the first priority when selecting a crib. Make sure the crib is well-built and sturdy, equipped with secure hardware and well-fitting fittings. Also, make sure it is in line with the current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: less than 2.375 inches of space between slats (that's approximately the size of a soda bottle) There should be no cutouts or decorative designs on the headboard or footboard and corner posts that are flush with the end panels or very tall--anything between can pose a strangulation risk.

Be sure to keep all toys out of the crib, since they pose choking or Baby beds (helpful resources) suffocation risks. Select a monitor for your baby that is in a clear line of sight so it does not hinder your view. Also, make sure that all cords are out of the reach of your child and securely anchored. Do not place blankets, pillows or positioners inside the crib. These can pose choking and suffocation risks and may be pushed or kicked by your child.

Also, avoid using old cribs since they could have outdated construction features that can cause injuries. Even if the crib is in good condition, the slats may be too wide, or they could be lacking hardware. Old cribs can also be painted with lead or loose, dangerous bolts and screws.

The Stork Craft Evolur has a wide range of features for a reasonable price, but it could be too much for those who want a simple design. Other options, such as the Dream On Me Ashton 4-in-1 and the Carter's by DaVinci Colby 4-in-1, sport the same style, but without all the bells and whistles.
