Choosing the Best Crib

Pick a crib you like. It will be part of your nursery for many years. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your little one could get into, and select one that can be easily converted to a toddler bed, or daybed.

Safety

As parents as parents, we want to provide our children the best possible start in life, and that begins with a safe crib. It's not necessary to have cribs that have a lot loose or missing pieces, nor do you want one that isn't up to the current safety standards. If you're buying a new crib, be sure to look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure that it is in compliance with the most stringent safety standards.

The slats that comprise a crib should be tightly spaced so that children aren't catching their fingers or head in them, and they shouldn't have any cut-outs for decorative purposes or other embellishments that could pose an injury risk. The mattress support system, which is crucial to the security of your crib, should be able to be adjusted to various heights to allow it to grow with your child.

It is also recommended to avoid hanging objects like blind strings or curtains, since they pose the risk of strangulation to your child. Examine your crib for loose or missing items and replace them if they are damaged.

Some cribs come with the option of a side panel that could be removed but it won't be in place for long. These are great for parents who do not want to share a bed. Be sure to place your crib away from radiators and windows.

If you are looking for an environmentally friendly crib, choose one made of wood from sustainable forests. It's recommended to choose a crib that's Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed tests for low emissions of chemicals. If you're looking for something even more durable, consider a crib made of sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA, BPA-based chemicals, phthalates and other chemicals.

Standard cribs are constructed of wood, including maple, oak, ash, mahogany, cherry, or birch. They are more durable than other materials, and can withstand scratches and dings better than soft pine.
