Top 5 Recommended Cribs

You want a crib that is sturdy and safe. You should look for solid wood construction and slat spacing less than 2.4 inches wide.

Stokke Sleepi Crib is one of our top picks. It comes with four mattress heights and is made of sustainable and renewable New Zealand pinewood. It comes with a toddler's bed.

1. Sturdy

It is crucial that the crib is sturdy because a baby will spend a lot of his or her time in it. Make sure that the crib you choose is in compliance with the safety standards and regulations formulated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Product Safety Commission and focus on the structural integrity of the crib. Also, consider avoiding older cribs that might have loose parts or rough spots that could harm your baby.

Find solid frames and avoid slats which are too close together as this could increase the danger of death from suffocation. Also, search for a crib that does not feature decorative cut-outs or drop sides, as these can pose a hazard to your child.

Avoid finishes that contain volatile compounds (VOCs) as they can influence your baby's breathing and sleep. Choose a crib certified with Greenguard Gold that uses non-toxic materials. Choose a crib that has tiny footprint to help save space and reduce dust build-up in your nursery.

DaVinci Kalani is an excellent option for a sturdy baby crib because it meets the majority of our requirements. It's easy to clean, doesn't include any exposed hardware that could get caught on toys or clothing and looks fantastic in most rooms. The only drawbacks are that it doesn't come with an infant cot bed rail and does not have the same number of slat levels as other cribs on this list.

Stork Craft Tuscany is another crib we would recommend. It's more expensive than the other options on this list, but it has a sleek design and is a perfect fit for our requirements, such as being incredibly easy to put together. It also only has three mattress heights, which is less than some other cribs. However, it might be preferable if you're planning to have your child use the crib for a few years and want it to last longer.

2. Easy to Assemble

Unlike some larger cribs, most modern mini cribs do not require a whole day to put together. In fact, most are ready to use straight out from the box, and require approximately 30 minutes to assemble with the included tools. Some even have a built-in toddler bed conversion kit which eliminates the cost and hassle of buying separate pieces later.

It is essential to ensure that the crib is assembled properly and that there aren't gaps or rough surfaces that could snag the baby. Be aware of the quality and quantity of the hardware, especially bolts and screws. Make sure they're tightened securely but don't over tighten them, which can lead to cracked wood or stripped threads. Also look for a solid wood crib, which is thought to be safer than metal.

If you're thinking about buying a crib that needs assembly, search for one with simple and straightforward instructions. Some manufacturers provide an instructional video for those who aren't familiar with working with furniture pieces. A good guide should also include a list of needed items, such as screws and washers.

Besides design, size is another factor to consider. A crib should be large enough to accommodate your baby, but not so large that it won't fit through an ordinary doorway. Be cautious about using cribs older than a year, as they might not meet the current safety standards.

The Storkcraft Equinox 3 in 1 is a fantastic choice for those who are looking for a modern and sleek crib. It comes with three mattress height settings and is constructed from sturdy and sustainable New Zealand pinewood. It is more exposed to the elements than some of the other choices on this list, though, and some users have complained that it was more difficult to put together than needed due to mislabeled parts and unclear instructions.

3. Convertible

In contrast to car seats and strollers cribs don't come with many "features." However, that doesn't mean parents shouldn't be thinking about other aspects such as aesthetics, price and the length of time the crib will last. If you're looking for a crib that can last until the age of three and beyond, think about buying one that can convert into a full-sized bed or daybed. This will help save space and money, making it easier to replace the mattress as your child grows.

While most cribs that convert into a bed of a larger size feel like an afterthought - you simply take the side off and replace it with a larger rail, the Oeuf design is a sleek high-quality crib that can transform into a bed frame. It is GREENGUARD Gold-certified, minimalist and looks great in any nursery. You can also bundle it with the trundle bed that matches and dresser for a more seamless look.

This crib is more robust than other cribs we've tested tests. It may take up more space in your nursery, but it'll last for years. It's easy to assemble and durable even for parents who don't have the skills. It also has three adjustable mattress heights. This lets you begin your baby in a low position, which is simple for caregivers to handle and then raise the mattress as they get older.

This crib is more of a traditional look than the other two cribs on this list, and is perfect for parents looking for a crib that will look elegant in a formal nursery. It is also easy to assemble, and comes with toddler conversion rails. This means that you don't have to purchase the rails separately. It does feature exposed metal hardware, which could be a problem for some people.

4. Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly cribs are the best cots of both worlds, providing a safe sleep environment for your child while also promoting sustainable practices for the environment. They are free of harmful chemicals and emissions that can be found in other cribs, and also toxic substances like PVC, phthalate MDF and lead. Eco-friendly cribs tend to be made of solid wood, sustainable and renewable materials and have an elegant design. They are simple to put together, convert and some even have a dresser or Mini cot Beds changing tray attached. This can help save space.

Some brands offer eco-friendly cribs that can be transformed into a toddler bed or full-sized bed. Some cribs might have additional features such as a built in changing table or storage compartments. No matter what their conversion capabilities, they should be sturdy and durable enough to withstand frequent use and regular cleaning. The most eco-friendly cribs are made of non-toxic, organic materials and are low-VOC in their finish.

A fantastic example of a green crib is the Bloom Alma crib. This model is made of sustainable birchwood and does not contain harmful components or finishes. It is Greenguard Certified and meets all safety requirements. It is a great choice for parents who want an eco-friendly crib that has a sleek, modern design and is easy to clean.

Another option is the Namesake crib, which cots offers timeless design and top-quality construction at an affordable price. The sturdy slats made from high-quality hardwood are Greenguard Gold certified to have low chemical emissions. The crib also has an optional reflux leg that can be attached to the side of the crib to create a gentle incline for babies with reflux.

5. Safety First

Safety should be the primary priority when choosing the right crib. Make sure that the crib is strong and well-constructed, with firmly fitted and secured hardware. Also, make sure it is in line with current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: less than 2.375 inches of space between slats (that's approximately the size of a soda bottle), no decorative cutout designs in the footboard or headboard, and corner posts that are flush with end panels or extremely tall. Anything between can pose an opportunity for strangulation.

Likewise ensure that all toys are kept away from the crib since they could pose choking and dangers of suffocation. If you're planning to use baby monitors, select one that has a clear line of sight, so it doesn't interfere with your view. Also, make sure that all cords are out of the reach of your child and are securely anchored. Don't place any blankets, pillows or even positioners in the crib. These items can pose the risk of choking or suffocation and could be thrown away by your child or pushed down by older siblings.

Also, avoid using older cribs because they could contain outdated features that could result in injuries. Even if the crib is in excellent condition, the slats could be too wide or could be missing hardware. Also, old cribs could have paint that contains lead or have loose and dangerous screws or bolts.

The Stork Craft Evolur is an excellent value, however it could be too much for those who prefer a minimal design. Other options, such as the Dream On Me Ashton 4 in 1 or the DaVinci Carter's 4-in 1 offer a similar design but less bells & whistles.
