You should ensure that it meets current safety standards and is free of hazards that could cause harm during sleep.

This will help to reduce the chance of your child climbing out of the crib, which is a common situation as they begin to crawl. + +A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and solid and sturdy construction are other security features to look for. Select a crib that has fixed sides rather than one with drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child.

Most of the cribs that we examined are constructed in a similar fashion to ensure structural integrity. The majority of cribs have circular bars without gaps or rough surfaces that could trap a baby or pinch them. We also examined each crib and evaluated it for its simplicity of use and assembly. We suggest selecting the crib with less parts to avoid confusion. + +One of our favorite cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which comes with an elegant, contemporary style and comes in a variety of color options, including some two-toned. It also has an all-purpose mattress fitting and is Greenguard Gold Certified for having low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). + +Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is a different alternative.

It is less expensive than the Stork Craft and has an elegant style that is perfect for every nursery. It has three different mattress heights, but it could be a bit shallow for some toddlers and small parents. + +Mattress + +A washable crib mattress will come in handy for newborns. Diaper leaks, baby spit up and other accidents can make mattresses damp and filthy which can lead to mildew and other bacteria that can be harmful to infants. Select a mattress that can be easily cleaned with mild cleaner or cloth. Also, consider a waterproof cover to stop fluids from entering the mattress. + +Choose mattresses that are designed to last up to 10 years, meaning it's ready for toddlers and beyond. Many of the mattresses we've discussed here are reversible with a toddler and infant side. This lets you use them from birth up until your child is old enough to be their own bed. + +A firm mattress for the crib is best because it supports their spines while they are developing.

The CPSC demands that mattresses be tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a danger to infants. You'll also find certifications such as Greenguard, GOTS and CertiPUR-US, which are a good sign that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can harm infants their nervous and respiratory systems. + +Another factor to consider is the weight of the mattress. The regular changes to sheets at night require that you lift and move the mattress, so if you struggle lifting heavy objects or don't want handle a heavy product then consider getting a crib mattress that is lighter. Newton Wovenaire, for example weighs only 8 pounds, while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress – Dual Firmness weighs 20 lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses in this review. It is also constructed of foam, not woven-core inners, which makes it much easier to move around in comparison to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more. + +Assembly + +New parents will appreciate a crib that is easy to build. You should choose an item that is securely secured, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could pinch the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs with drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts -- these features don't meet today's safety standards. + +If you decide to buy a convertible crib, you will need to purchase a separate kit for converting it into a toddler bed. The majority of manufacturers offer these kits separately. These kits are usually inexpensive and will help your child make the transition to a larger bed more easily. + +Convertible cribs can be a great investment for families with several children.
