Most Recommended Cribs

A crib is one of the most expensive purchases you can make for your nursery. There are plenty of options to choose from whether you're looking for an ultra-modern crib with a minimalistic design or one that converts into a daybed, or a toddler bed.

Before purchasing, make sure to look for these features:

1. Stokke Sleepi Bed

The crib is the most essential piece of baby equipment that parents will consider when they are acquiring a new baby. It's where your child will sleep, and it must be functional, beautiful and, most importantly secure and soothing for your baby. A convertible crib is the best crib because it grows with your child from the very beginning days until they transition to a larger bed. This will help with sleep transitions and ensure that your baby has a safe, comfortable sleeping space throughout their childhood.

Stokke Sleepi Beds are unique cribs with four-in-one design that grows with your child. It features a stunning curved design that's reminiscent of the womb-like environment. The mattress is breathable to allow maximum air flow and has an easy-to-clean cover that is hypoallergenic.

The crib is also manufactured sustainably and meets all British and European safety regulations. It's a bit more expensive than co-sleeper cribs or small cots, but it does have the advantage of growing with your child until they're five years old, assuming you purchase the Junior Recommended Cribs Extension Kit at the same time.

Stokke Sleepi Beds come with locking swivel casters with lockable swivels that make them easy to move into and out of the room. It also has a height-adjustable bed with four different levels of mattress.

Our testers assembled the Stokke Sleepi Bed in just 45 minutes. It also comes with straightforward instructions that will allow you to be confident in the durability and quality. The Stokke Sleepi Bed does not include mattresses. You'll need to purchase one separately.

4. Babyletto Hudson Convertible Crib

The Hudson crib is a classic mid-century design with flared tapered feet. It's both stylish and fun. Like most of our favorite cribs, this one is designed to adapt to your child's needs and includes an adapter kit that lets you seamlessly change from midi cot bed sales to daybed. It is also Greenguard Gold certified for indoor air quality, and made from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine.

In our crib tests we found the Hudson to be a very solid crib with well-formed corners and a tight spacing between slats (less than 2.4" wide) that will reduce the chance of SIDS as well as entrapment or strangulation. The design is simple and will fit in with any nursery decor. The colors are also on par with the furniture in your room.

Another great aspect about this crib is that it is easy to put together. It scored 9/10 in our crib assembly test which measures the amount of time it takes to lay out and put together the pieces, as well as the clarity, accuracy, and explicitness of the instructions, and whether the correct hardware was included.

It is important that the mattress's height in the convertible crib can be adjusted to meet your baby's growth. This will ensure they are comfortable and you don't need to purchase an entirely new mattress once they begin to sit up. This feature is typically found on premium and deluxe cribs, but it is an option on some basic cribs as well. When shopping for a crib, we recommend that you look for a model that has this feature. It will be beneficial for your baby throughout their sleep journey.
