Most Recommended Cribs

A crib is one of the most expensive purchases you can make for your nursery. There are many options available for you to choose from a modern crib that is minimalist or one that converts into a daybed, or a toddler bed.

Before you buy, look for these important characteristics:

1. Stokke Sleepi Bed

The crib is the most important piece of equipment for babies that parents will consider when purchasing an infant. It is the place where your child will be sleeping so it must be attractive and functional and, most importantly, it should be safe and soothing. Convertible cribs are great because they can develop with your baby from their earliest years until the time they move to the big kid bed. This will aid in sleep transitions and ensure that your child is comfortable and secure in their sleeping area throughout their entire childhood.

Stokke Sleepi Beds are unique cribs with four-in-one design that grows with your child. It features a stunning curving design that evokes the womb. The mattress is breathable to allow maximum air circulation and comes with a washable cover that's hypoallergenic.

This crib is also made sustainably and meets all British and European safety standards. It's a bit more expensive than cosleeper cots 4 tots or smaller cribs but it can be a good fit with your child up to five years old if you purchase the Junior Extension Kit.

Another benefit is that the Stokke Sleepi Bed comes with lockable swivel wheels that make it easy to move around the room and into narrower doors. It also comes with an adjustable height bed base with four different levels of mattress.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed is also extremely easy to put together - it took just 45 minutes for our tester to assemble it by themselves. It also comes with straightforward instructions that will give you confidence in its durability and high-quality. The only drawback is that the Stokke Sleepi Bed doesn't come with a mattress, which means you'll need to buy one separately (which can be costly) but it's worth it since this is among the best cot beds cribs for your baby.

4. Babyletto Hudson Convertible Crib

The Hudson crib is a classic mid-century styling with flared feet that are tapered. It is both elegant and fun. It's designed for your child's development and includes a conversion kit that allows it to transition seamlessly from a midi bed into a toddler bed or daybed. It also holds Greenguard Gold certification for indoor air quality and is made from sustainably-sourced New Zealand pine.

In our crib testing 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) which reduces the chance of SIDS as well as entrapment or strangulation. The design is simple and will complement any nursery decor. The colors are also in line with the furniture in your room.

Another advantage of this crib is the fact that it is simple to put together. It scored 9 out of 10 on our crib assembly test. This test is a measure of how long it takes to lay out the pieces and assemble them in addition to the clarity, accuracy and explicitness of instructions and whether the correct hardware is included.

It is important that the mattress height in a convertible crib can be adjusted to meet your baby's growing. This will ensure that your baby is comfortable and you won't need to purchase a new mattress once they can sit up. This feature is most commonly found on premium and deluxe cribs, but can be a feature in some basic cribs as well. We recommend looking for a model with this feature when you are shopping for a crib, since it will be helpful throughout your baby's entire sleeping journey.
