Cribs can take up a lot space, so bassinets could be a better option in case your home is small cot beds. However, a lot of parents prefer a crib due to security reasons.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial to your baby's health and well-being. You should ensure that it is in compliance with current safety standards and is free from hazards that may cause harm to your child as they sleep. It should be strong and well-constructed, without loose parts that might catch on clothing or present the risk of choking. It is crucial to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for assembly and use, and to inspect the crib on a regular basis.

The first thing to check is the space between slats. It shouldn't be more than 2 and 3/4 inches apart to prevent your baby from being able to get their head or limbs trapped between them. You should also be able easily reach and see your baby's crib. If you aren't, the slats should be wider and not as close together.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable, so that you can lower the crib mattress as your child grows. This will reduce the risk that your baby will climb out of the crib once they begin to crawl.

Other safety features to look for include the fitted sheet that is able to fit the mattress securely as well as a stable and sturdy construction. Choose a crib with fixed sides instead of one that has drop sides. Drop sides can be hazardous for your child. You should also be in the same bedroom as your baby until they are old enough to be able to go off on their own.

Last but not least, ensure that the crib is placed away from windows and radiators, and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are out of reach. You should also remove any items that could present a choking risk like blankets or pillows. Be cautious when buying used cribs, as they may not be in compliance with current safety standards, or have been recalled.

Design

It is important to remember that cribs may look the same but must still adhere to strict safety standards. Most of the cribs that we reviewed are designed in a similar manner to ensure structural integrity. Most cribs have circular bars without gaps or rough surfaces that could entangle the baby or squeeze them. We also tested and rated each crib for how easy it was to use and assemble. We suggest choosing one with fewer components to avoid confusion.

Mattress

A crib mattress that is washable can come in handy for newborns.

A firm crib mattress is ideal for infants, because it will provide the most support to their developing spines. A mattress that is extremely firm helps reduce the chance of SIDS which is more likely to happen when an infant's head sinks into a soft mattress.

Examine the label of the mattress to make sure it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing, flammability lead, and other chemicals that could pose danger to infants. There are also certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR, GOTS and CertiPURUS, which are a good indicator that the mattress has been examined for the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can damage infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a crib mattress. Sheet changes at night require you to move and lift the mattress, so if you are unable to lift heavy objects or aren't able to take on a heavy product then consider getting a crib mattress that is lighter. Newton Wovenaire, for example weighs only 8 pounds, while Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness weighs 20lbs. This makes it one of the heavier mattresses featured in this review. It is also made from foam instead of woven core inners. This makes it easier to move around compared to a traditional coil mattress.

Assembly

You should look for the crib that has hardware that is securely secured and without sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby.
