Top 5 [Recommended Cribs](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/)
When you buy a crib you want it to be safe and durable. You should look for solid wood construction and slat spacing that is less than 2.4 inches wide.
One of our most favored picks is the Stokke Sleepi Crib. It includes four mattress sizes and is made of sustainable and renewable New Zealand Pinewood. It includes a toddler's rail.
1. Sturdy
It is crucial that the crib is built to last because a baby will spend a lot of the time in it. Make sure that the crib you choose is in compliance with safety regulations and standards set by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Consumer Product Safety Commission, which are focused on the structural integrity of the crib. Also, you should avoid older cribs that might have loose parts or rough areas that could cause harm to your child.
Avoid cribs with slats too close to each other, as this could cause the child to suffocate. Also, look for a crib that does not feature decorative cut-outs or drop sides, since these can pose a hazard to your child.
Also, avoid finishes that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) because they could affect your baby's breathing and sleep. Instead, opt for a crib that is certified with Greenguard Gold and uses non-toxic materials. It is also beneficial to select a crib with a minimal footprint, as it will make room in your nursery and minimize dust accumulation.
The DaVinci Kalani is a great option for a sturdy crib, as it fulfills the majority of our requirements. It is easy to clean and doesn't have exposed hardware that can get stuck on toys or clothing. It also looks fantastic in most rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't include an infant rail and doesn't have as many slat levels as some other cribs on this list.
Another crib we recommend is the Stork Craft Tuscany. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other cribs on this list, but it's stylish and meets nearly all of our criteria, including being incredibly easy to put together. It only has three mattress levels which is less than some other cribs. If you plan on using the crib for several years, it may be better suited to your needs.
2. Easy to Assemble
Contrary to some of the larger cribs, many modern mini cribs don't require a whole day to assemble. They are ready to use out of the box, and take just about 30 minutes to assemble with the tools included. Some even have a built-in toddler bed conversion kit, which will save you the cost and hassle of buying separate pieces later on.
Always ensure that the crib is assembled properly and that there aren't any gaps or rough surfaces that could be a danger to the baby. Be aware of the quality and quantity of hardware, especially bolts and screws. Make sure they're securely tightened however, don't over-tighten them, which can lead to broken threads or wood cracks. Choose a solid wood crib as it is believed to be safer than metal.
If you're considering a crib that needs assembly, choose one that has simple and easy instructions. Some manufacturers provide videos for those not familiar with working with furniture pieces. A good guide should include a list of tools, including washers and screws.
Beyond the design, size is a different consideration. A crib must be big enough to accommodate your baby, but not too big that it won't fit through an ordinary doorway. Be cautious when using cribs that are older as they might not meet the current safety standards.
The Storkcraft Equinox 3 in 1 is a great choice for those who are looking for a sleek and modern crib. It is constructed from sturdy, sustainable New Zealand Pinewood and has three different mattress settings. It's got more exposed hardware than other choices on this list, though, and some users noted that it was more complicated to assemble than they needed to due to the mislabeled components and unclear instructions.
3. Convertible
If you're seeking a crib that will last until toddlerhood and beyond, think about one that can be converted into a daybed or a full-size bed. If you're looking for a crib which will last through toddlerhood and beyond, think about getting one that converts into a bed that is full size or a daybed. This will help save space and money, making it easier to replace the mattress as your baby grows.
Although most cribs that transform into full-size beds are an afterthought they can be removed from the side and replace it by a wider rail. Oeuf has created a stylish crib that can be transformed into bed frames. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified minimalist, stylish, and looks nice in almost any nursery. You can also bundle it with matching trundle beds or dressers for a seamless look.
The crib is much more sturdy than other cribs we've tested tests. It may take up more space in your nursery, but it's going to last for years. It's easy to assemble and sturdy even for parents who don't have the skills. It also comes with three adjustable mattress heights which allows you to start your child in a low position that's easy for caregivers to lift and raise as they get older.
The convertible crib has more of a traditional style than the other two cribs on this list, which is ideal for parents who want an option that looks stylish in a grand nursery. It's also simple to assemble and comes with a set of toddler conversion rails, which eliminates the need to purchase those separately. The only drawback is that it does have some exposed hardware, which might be an issue for some.
4. Eco-Friendly
Eco-friendly cribs can be an ideal solution for everyone. They provide a safe sleeping environment for your child, while also promoting sustainable environmental practices. Other cribs contain harmful chemicals and emissions and harmful substances such as PVC, MDF, phthalate and lead. Eco-friendly cribs are made of solid wood, sustainable and renewable materials and have an elegant design. They are easy to assemble, convert and some even include a dresser or a changing tray that is attached. This can help save space.
Certain brands offer eco-friendly cribs, which are designed to adapt to your child's needs and convert to a toddler bed, daybed, or full-size bed. They may also have additional features, such as an integrated changing table or storage compartments. They should be durable and sturdy to withstand the rigors of daily use and clean. The best eco-friendly cribs are made of non-toxic, organic materials and come with a low-VOC finish.
Bloom Alma crib is a excellent example of an eco-friendly crib. This model is made of sustainable birchwood and does not contain toxic finishes or components. It is Greenguard Certified and meets all safety standards. It is a great choice for parents who want a crib with a sleek design that is easy to maintain and also environmentally friendly.
Another option is the Namesake crib, which comes with a timeless style and high-quality construction at an affordable price. The sturdy slats made from high-quality hardwood are Greenguard Gold certified to have low chemical emissions. The crib also features an optional reflux leg that can be affixed to the side of the crib to create a gentle slope for babies suffering from reflux.
5. Safety First
Safety should be the primary priority when choosing the crib. Be sure that the crib is built well and sturdy, with secure hardware and well-fitting fittings. Also, ensure that it is in line with the current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: less than 2.375 inches of space between slats (that's about the width of a soda bottle) and no cutouts with decorative designs in the headboard or footboard and corner posts that are flush with end panels or are very tall. Anything between is a strangulation risk.
Be sure to keep all toys out of the crib, as they pose the risk of choking or suffocation. If you're planning to use a baby monitor, make sure you choose one with a clear line of sight that does not block your view. Also, make sure any cords are out of your child's reach and are securely connected. Don't keep any pillows, blankets or baby cribs with positioners. These can pose dangers of suffocation and choke and may be kicked or pulled down by your child.
Beware of cribs that are older because they may have outdated features that could cause injuries. Even if a crib is in excellent condition, the slats may be too wide or it may be missing hardware. Additionally, old cribs may have paint that contains lead or have loose and hazardous screws or bolts.
The Stork Craft Evolur has a wide range of features for a reasonable price, but it might be too much for people who want a minimal look. Other options, such as the Dream On Me Ashton 4 in 1 or the Carter's By DaVinci Collby 4-in 1 have a similar style but without the bells and whistles.
