While some may prefer a modern design, others may want something more traditional. You can choose from many different colors and finishes that will complement your nursery's aesthetic. Some cribs have additional features that set them from the rest of the cribs. For instance for instance, the Evolur has an all-round mesh that enhances the airflow and breathability. Parents reported that the Evolur kept their children at a comfortable temperature for bedtime and naps. It has six mattress heights that can be adjusted to meet a variety of sleeping preferences. It can also be slanted to ease colic and reflux. Its minimalist design makes this a great choice for smaller nurseries. It is more expensive than some other options. The DaVinci Jayden is a stylish crib. The solid wood crib is GreenGuard Gold Certified and can convert into a daybed, toddler bed, or headboard by the purchase of separate conversion kits. It comes with a high-back design, as well as furniture options like changing tables and dressers. The crib's shorter sides are perfect for parents who are smaller and don't want to have to reach over the rails in order to get their child. The Stokke Sleepi Bed is another multi-purpose option. It can be used as a bassinet crib or toddler bed. It features a circular form that creates a womb-like environment for your baby. It also comes with wheels and a narrow width, making it easy to move throughout the house or from room to room. The minimalist design means you don't have to use many blankets or toys.

Its sleek and simple design is clean and sleek and features an extra-wide mattress. It is more expensive than other cribs and requires an additional toddler conversion kit. It also has lots of hardware that's exposed, which some parents might find distracting. Safety It is crucial to consider the safety of a crib before buying one. While it may seem a little trivial but every aspect of the crib's design must be designed with safety in mind. For instance, slats shouldn't be more than 3/8” apart (about the size of a soda-can) and the corners shouldn't exceed the top rail on the mattress support. Also, there shouldn't be any decorative cutouts that can cause a baby's arms or head to become caught. It is best to opt for products that are new and meet current safety standards, although if you must utilize second-hand equipment, make sure it's not been recalled and adheres to all the manufacturer's guidelines. Send in the registration cards that come with baby equipment and cribs to be notified when a recall occurs. In the event an emergency, it's an excellent idea to be familiar with CPR and the Heimlich manoeuvre. When choosing a crib for your baby, avoid placing soft toys and other items in the crib. These toys could suffocate the infant and raise the chance of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. The crib should also not be equipped with any bumpers or pillow, as these can lead to the infant being suffocated. Finally, best rated cribs should select a crib with two or four height settings. You can lower the mattress to keep your child from escaping their crib and getting injured should they fall when trying to stand or crawl. Most parents are tempted to put the mattress support at the top height for babies, but it is recommended that you begin lowering it once your child is 3-4 months of age, and continue to do this as they increase in height. It is recommended to examine the crib regularly to check for cracked or loose hardware. Bolts and nails can get loose over time. It is essential to check them weekly. Easy Assembly The most simple cribs to build are those that have frame-and-panel construction on the three sides of the crib and bars on the front. This design permits simple woodworking, and doesn't require complex joinery or specialized hardware. This type of crib can be easily stained or painted If you're a DIYer. The most important thing to keep in mind when assembling a crib to follow the instructions thoroughly. If you do not follow the instructions correctly that you don't follow, it could put your baby's safety. Most of the cribs you purchase will come with their own set of instructions but it's a good idea to do an internet search to get more details on the particular model you're using. When you are choosing a crib it is crucial to think about the ease with which it can be moved. The majority of cribs are too large to fit through most standard doorways which is why you'll need to disassemble it if you want to move it from one location in your home to another. This can be a pain and cause frustration, especially when you're trying to get your child asleep. If you're on the hunt for a crib that is easily moved, consider a model with wheels or stand. These options will make it easier to transport from room to room, and also keep the crib tidy and secure. Also, be sure to look for a crib that has minimalist design.
