It is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to set up and use the crib and to check the crib regularly.

You should also be able easily reach and see your baby's crib. If you're not then the slats are close together and should be larger.

The mattress support system is another aspect to take into consideration when selecting the crib. It is important to adjust the levels so that you can lower the mattress as your baby grows. This will decrease the chance of your child climbing out of the crib as is a common occurrence as they learn to crawl.

Other security features to look out for include the fitted sheet that is able to fit the mattress with ease and an enduring and solid construction. You should also select a crib with fixed sides instead of one with drop sides which can be hazardous for your baby. It's also better to sleep in the same room with your baby for the first six months or so, and then transfer them to their own bedroom once they are old enough to be monitored while sleeping alone.

The last thing to do is ensure that the crib is kept away from radiators and windows, and that any hanging objects such as curtains or blind cords are out of reach. Also, you should remove any objects that could pose the risk of choking, such as pillows or blankets. You should also be wary of purchasing cribs that are secondhand, as they may not be in compliance with the safety standards of today or been recalled for different reasons.

Design

While cribs may look all similar, it's important to keep in mind that all must comply with strict safety guidelines. For this reason, most of the cribs we reviewed have a similar design to ensure consistency in terms of structural quality. Most cribs feature circular bars without gaps or rough surfaces that could catch a baby or pinch them. We also examined each crib and evaluated it based on its ease of use and assembly. We recommend choosing one with fewer components to avoid confusion.

A mattress that is firm is best for infants, since it will provide the most support to their developing spines. A firm sleeping surface will also lower the chance of SIDS. This is due to the fact that a soft mattress increases the possibility that a child's head will sink into it.

If you are in search of a firm crib mattress be sure to examine the label to make sure that it meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The CPSC requires that mattresses be tested for waterproofing, flammability lead, as well as other chemicals that could be a hazard to babies. There are also certifications like Greenguard, CertiPUR and GOTS which prove that the mattress was tested for volatile organic compounds that could harm infants' nervous and respiratory systems.

The weight of the mattress is another thing to consider. If you're unable to lift heavy objects, or don't want to move a heavy item, you may want an easier mattress. For instance the Newton Wovenaire is incredibly light at just 8 pounds, while the Naturepedic Organic Breathable Crib Mattress - Dual Firmness is 20 lbs, making it one of the heaviest in this review. It is also constructed of foam instead of woven-core inners. This makes it more comfortable to move around in comparison to a heavier traditional coil mattress.
