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

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and wellbeing. You must ensure that it is in compliance with current safety standards and is free of any hazards that may harm your baby while they sleep. It should be constructed well and sturdy, without loose pieces that could get caught on clothing or create danger of choking. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's directions regarding assembly and use, and regularly inspect the crib for signs of wear or damage.

The first thing to look at is the space between the slats. It should not be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from falling over or getting their legs trapped between them. You should be in a position to be able to see and reach your child in the crib. If you cannot reach your baby, the slats must be broader and not as close to each other.

The mattress support system is a different aspect to think about when choosing the crib. It must be adjustable to various heights, so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will reduce the risk that your child will climb out of the crib once they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are additional safety features you should be looking for. Pick a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides. Drop sides could be hazardous for your child. You should also sleep in the same bedroom as your baby until they are old enough to be able to go off on their own.

In the end, you must make sure that the crib is away from radiators and windows, and that any dangling objects like blind cords or curtains are kept out of reach. You should also remove any items that could pose a choking risk like blankets or pillows. You should also be wary of buying second-hand cribs, since they may not have met the current safety standards or been recalled due to other reasons.

Design

While cribs might appear the same, it is important to keep in mind that all must comply with strict safety guidelines. Most of the cribs that we looked at were designed in a similar way to ensure structural stability. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that do not have any gaps or rough areas that could trap or squeeze the baby. 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.

A firm mattress for the crib is ideal because it supports their spines as they are developing. A super-firm sleep surface also helps reduce the risk of SIDS which is more likely to happen when a baby's head sinks into a soft mattress.

Examine the label of the mattress to make sure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing and flammability as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat for infants. You can also find certifications such as Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which show that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that could cause harm to infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

Another factor to consider is the weight of the mattress. If you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want to move an item that weighs a lot then you might want a lighter mattress. For example, the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 lbs, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, which makes it the heaviest in this review. It is also made of foam rather than woven-core inners, which makes it easier to maneuver compared with the heavier coil mattress.

Assembly

Choose a crib with hardware that is securely secured, no sharp edges or rough spots that could pinch your cheap baby cots's skin. Avoid cribs with drop-sides or headboard/footboard cuts.
