The Westport Cot Bed is a minimalist crib that can look stunning in a Scandi-design nursery. It also provides a good variety of versatility with three different mattress support heights and the capability to convert into an infant bed.

Bassinets are a good option when you live in a smaller home. Cribs can take up a lot more space. Many parents prefer a crib because of safety concerns.

Safety

Choosing the best crib newborn is crucial for your baby's health and well-being. You must ensure that the crib meets the current safety standards, and is free from any dangers that could harm your child during sleep. It should be well-constructed and sturdy, without loose pieces that may catch on clothing or pose a choking risk. It is also crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly and use and to regularly check the crib for indications of wear or damage.

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 falling over or getting their limbs caught between them. You should also be able to easily reach and see your baby in the crib. If you can't, the slats are too close to each other and should be wider.

Another aspect of the crib to consider is the mattress support system. It should be adjustable so that you can lower the mattress of your crib as your child grows. This will decrease the chance of your child leaving the crib as is a common situation as they begin to crawl.

A fitted sheet that fits the bed securely and a sturdy and stable construction are other safety features you should look for. It is also recommended to choose a crib that has fixed sides, rather than one with drop sides which can be hazardous for your baby. You should also sleep in the same room as your baby until they are old enough to be able to sleep on their own.

Also, make sure that the crib is away from windows and radiators, and that any dangling objects like blind cords or curtains are out of their reach. Also, you should remove any objects that could pose the risk of choking, such as pillows or blankets. Be cautious when buying second-hand cribs as they may not meet current safety standards, or have been removed from the market.

Design

It is crucial to remember that cribs can look the same but must still comply with strict safety standards. This is why the majority cribs we looked at are of a similar design to ensure consistency of structural quality. For instance, the majority of cribs have circular bars that don't have any gaps or rough areas that could catch or squeeze a baby. We also evaluated each crib and rated it based on its simplicity of use and assembly. More parts can mean more confusion, so we suggest choosing a crib that comes with a few easy-to-follow directions to minimize frustration.

One of our top cribs is the Evolur Sprout Crib, which comes with an elegant, contemporary design and comes in several colors, including two-toned. It also comes with a universal mattress fit and is Greenguard Gold certified to have low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can off-gas into the nursery.

Stork Craft Equinox 3 in 1 is another option. The crib is sleek and modern, with minimal features that make it ideal for modern nurseries.

The side rail that can be removed was highly praised by parents for making nighttime feedings more secure and easy.

This crib is less expensive than the Stork Craft and features an elegant style that is perfect for all nursery. It comes with three different mattress heights however some parents and toddlers may feel it is a bit low.

Mattress

Babies are messy and a clean crib mattress is essential. Baby spills and other accidents can leave mattresses damp and filthy which can lead to mildew and bacteria that may be harmful to infants. Look for a product that can be cleaned with a cloth or cleaned with mild cleaner. You should also choose a waterproof mattress cover to prevent liquids from getting into the mattress and causing health problems.

Look for a mattress that is rated for up to 10 years so that it can be used for toddlers. Many of the mattresses featured in this review are reversible with toddler and infant sides, that allows you to use them from the time of birth until your child is ready for an adult-sized bed.

A mattress that is firm is best cots for infants, because it provides the greatest support for their growing spines. A mattress that is extremely firm reduces the risk of SIDS which is more likely to occur when a baby's head sinks into a soft mattress.

If you are in search of a mattress that is firm for your crib make sure you examine the label to make sure it is in compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC mandates that mattresses are tested for the ability to withstand fire and water as well as lead and other chemicals that could pose a threat to infants. There are also certifications like Greenguard CertiPUR-US, GOTS, and CertiPUR-US which are a good indication that the mattress has been tested for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could harm infants' respiratory and nervous systems.

Another thing to consider is the weight of a mattress for a crib. The regular changes to sheets at night require that you move and lift the mattress, so if you are unable to lift heavy objects or don't want take on a heavy product then consider getting a lighter crib mattress. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 pounds, which makes it the heaviest in this review. It's also made of foam, not inners with woven-core that makes it much easier to move around in comparison to traditional coil mattresses that weigh more.

Assembly

New parents will be happy with a crib that's easy to build. You want to find a crib with firmly-secured hardware, and no sharp edges or rough patches that could irritate the skin of your baby. Avoid cribs that have drop-sides and headboard/footboard cuts. These items aren't in compliance with the safety standards of today.

When looking for a crib, keep in mind that you'll likely require a toddler bed conversion kit (if you decide to purchase a convertible crib). Most manufacturers offer these kits on their own. They're usually affordable, and will aid your child's transition to larger beds more easily.

Many new parents appreciate the long-lasting quality that is offered by the convertible crib, and they're a good investment for families with multiple children. These cribs have been built to last, and they can be converted into toddler beds, daybeds or full-size cot beds for sale.
