Choosing the Best Crib Newborn

The Westport cot for sale Bed will look beautiful in a Scandi nursery. It's also very adaptable, as it has three different mattress support heights. Additionally, it can be transformed into a toddler's bed.

Cribs take up a lot of room, so bassinets might be a better choice in case your home is small. Many parents choose a crib because of security concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is essential to your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that it meets the current safety standards and is free of any hazards that may cause harm to your child during their sleep. It should be well-constructed and strong, with no loose pieces that could catch on clothing or pose danger of choking. It is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use, and to regularly inspect the crib.

The first thing to look at is the space between slats. It should be no more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to prevent your baby's head or limbs getting caught between them. You must also be able to easily reach and observe your baby in the crib. If you cannot reach your baby, the slats must be broader and not as close together.

The mattress support system is another aspect to consider when choosing the crib. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the risk that your baby will fall out of the crib once they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other security features you should look for. It is also recommended to choose a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides, which can be hazardous for your baby. It is also advisable to sleep in the same room as your baby for the first six months or so, and only move them to their own bedroom once they are old enough to be monitored while sleeping alone.

Last but not least, make sure the crib is placed away from windows and radiators, and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are out of reach. Also, you should remove any items that could be danger to your child's health like pillows or blankets. Be cautious of buying second-hand cribs, since they may not be in compliance with 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 adhere to strict safety regulations. This is why the majority cribs we looked at have a similar layout to ensure consistency of structural quality. For example, most have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or squeeze babies. We also assessed and rated each crib based on how easily it was to use cots and tots to assemble. We suggest selecting one with fewer components to avoid confusion.

The Evolur Sprout crib is one of our top picks. It features a chic modern design and comes in a range of colors, including two-toned options. It also has a mattress that is universal and is Greenguard Gold certified to have minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can release off-gasses into the nursery.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can be useful for infants. Spit-up from babies and diaper leaks can cause mattresses to become damp and dirty and result in mildew or other bacteria that can affect infants. Select a mattress that can be easy to clean with mild cleaner or cloth. Also, select a waterproof cover to prevent liquids from getting into the mattress.

Choose a mattress that has been that is rated for up to 10 years so that it can be used for toddlers. Many of the products in this review can be reversible, with infant and toddler sides, which will let you use them from birth until your child is ready to move on to an adult-sized bed.

A firm mattress for the crib is ideal because it can support their spines as they are developing. A firm sleeping surface can also reduce the risk of SIDS. This is because a soft mattress increases the chance that a Baby Cot's head will sink into it.

Look over the label of the mattress to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for flammability and waterproofing as well as lead and other chemicals which could pose a risk to babies. You can also find certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS, which indicate that the mattress has been tested for volatile organic compounds that may affect infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

The weight of the mattress is another factor to consider. The regular changes to sheets at night require you to move and lift the mattress. If you struggle lifting heavy objects or don't want to take on a heavy product then consider getting a crib mattress that is lighter. 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 constructed of foam instead of inners with woven-core that makes it much easier to move around when compared to the heavier coil mattress.

Assembly

A crib that's easy to assemble is great for parents with young children. You want to find a crib with firmly-secured hardware and without sharp edges or rough patches that could rub the skin of your baby. Also, avoid any cribs with drop-sides or cutouts for headboards and footboards as they aren't in line with current safety standards.
