The crib is an essential piece of furniture for your baby's nursery. It isn't easy to pick the right crib, with so many designs and safety concerns.

Find cribs that meet the highest safety standards and includes no chewable or dangling components. We recommend a crib that has a broad range of mattress height settings and a sleek design that matches your style.

Safety

When assembling and setting up your baby's crib, be sure to adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines set out by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is essential to avoid putting any items in your baby's crib which could cause harm or injury, including pillows, blankets, sheepskins, toys for stuffed animals and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleep for more details). Teddy bears, dolls and stuffed animals larger than 15 inches are not allowed to sleep in your baby's crib. These items can easily fall into or become caught between your baby and the crib bars, or be swallowed by the mattress.

The best cribs for infants are made from safe materials that are free of VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also meet strict federal, state and local requirements for structural safety.

They're also designed to be durable and convertible, meaning they'll continue to grow with your child.

The slats on your crib should not be more than 2-3/8 inches (6 centimeters) apart to keep children from being wedged between them, and the hardware on the crib should be secure. It's also a good idea to inspect the slats and mattress support rims for any loose or broken parts.

It's best to avoid cribs that were used by children or pets in the past, as their safety could have been compromised. Don't buy or accept a crib with a drop-side rail. This feature was removed in 2012 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to protect the public.

Style

There are a variety of variations in the design of cribs, despite the fact that they all have to meet safety standards. Some are purely aesthetic, like whether the slats are of the same length or spaced closer together and others have a significant impact on how easy the crib is to use and maintain. Certain features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should not be used. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and wheels, are desirable by a lot of parents.
