There are dozens of options for finding the best baby cribs on the market. If you are new parents, the piece of furniture in the nursery that is most important to you is probably the crib. Decide on a price range and a list of features that you want in the infant crib. Then review the other characteristics that are important for the safety of your baby. You will need to keep in mind personal preferences as well as government regulations.
You will need to make certain that your crib is assembled correctly to avoid product safety issues. It's better to purchase a new crib if it is possible for you. The new cribs are produced in accordance with the latest government standards. If you buy a used or second-hand crib, you could be putting your baby in danger by the use of cribs that don't reflect the most current safety standards.
Stay focused to look out for product recalls, regardless of the type and model of crib that you choose. Some crib features that are the source of safety issues are the width of spaces between the crib slats and the height of any corner posts. The mattress should be firm and it should fit snugly into baby's crib.
Avoid missing or broken hardware anywhere on parts of the crib. Don't purchase cribs with cutouts usable at headboard or footboard. Avoid overly fussy designs on head or footboard as baby clothing can be hooked into the opening causing strangulation.
New standards in side panels recommend that you use a stationary side unit. Other types of cribs are double-drop sides, single-drop and a drop-gate crib. Although drop gate cribs are convenient, they also create a safety hazard and are not currently recommended.
A foot bar, a knee-push bar, and a double trigger operate drop sides. This type of drop side is dangerous for older children. The horizontal bar can be used to help mobile children climb out of the area. Safety features are an important part of the best baby cribs available.
