Choosing the Best Crib

A crib will be a key element in your nursery for many years and it's essential to choose a crib you enjoy seeing. Avoid cribs with cutouts or drop-sides that your little one could get into, and opt for an option that can be easily converted to a toddler bed, or daybed.

Safety

We want to give our children the best start in life. This starts with a crib that is safe. You shouldn't use cribs that have many missing or loose pieces and you shouldn't choose one that isn't in line with the current safety standards. When purchasing a crib, ensure that it is certified by the CPSC, ASTM or JPMA certification.

The slats of the crib must be spaced so that children aren't falling or catching their heads in them and should not have any decorative cutouts or other ornaments that could pose an injury risk. A mattress support system is vital to the crib's safety, and it should be able to adjust to different sizes to accommodate your child as they grow.

You'll also want to avoid hanging objects like curtains or blind strings, since they pose a strangulation risk for your infant. It is a good idea to check your crib regularly for loose or missing objects, and replace any that have become dislodged in the course of time.

Some cribs come with a side panel that can be removed but it won't be down for long. They are ideal for parents who don't want to share the bed. Be sure to place your crib away from windows and radiators.
