Choosing the Best Crib

Pick a crib you love. It will be part of your nursery for a long time. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your child might get into, and opt for an option that can be easily converted to a toddler bed or daybed.

Safety

As parents are, we'd like to give our children the best baby cots possible start in life, and it starts with a safe crib. You don't need to use cribs that have a lot loose or missing pieces, nor do you want one that isn't in line with the current safety standards. If you're buying a brand new crib, make sure you look for CPSC, ASTM, or JPMA certification to ensure it meets the most important safety requirements.

The slats in the crib must be spaced so that children aren't catching their fingers or head in the slats and also they shouldn't contain any cut-outs for decorative purposes or other decorations which could cause injury risk. A mattress support system is vital to the crib's safety, and it should be capable of adjusting to various sizes to accommodate your child as they grow.

Avoid hanging objects such as blind strings or curtains, as they can strangle your child. Examine your crib for loose or missing items and replace them if they are damaged.

Some cribs come with an additional side panel that can be moved down. However it won't be down for long. These are great for affordable Cots parents who do not want to share the bed. Make sure to place your crib away from radiators and windows.

If you're seeking a green crib, pick one that is constructed from sustainable forests. It's also a good idea to select a crib that is Greenguard Gold Certified, meaning it has passed a test for low emissions of chemicals. If you're looking to buy something superior, select a crib made from sustainable New Zealand pine that is free of BPA, BPA-based chemicals, phthalates and other chemicals.

Standard cribs are typically constructed of wood, including maple oak, ash cherry, mahogany or birch. They tend to be more durable than other materials, and are resistant to nicks and dings better than soft pine. Be aware that some manufacturers select pine over harder hardwoods to save money. This can make the crib more prone to dent and scratches which could require more frequent cleaning.

Another plus to the standard crib is that it often comes with a toddler rail which will help to keep your child safe from falling down and climbing. Remember that a lot of cribs specifically designed for toddlers require the purchase of an additional toddler bed rail.
