Top 5 recommended cribs - read this post here,

When you buy a crib, you want it to be secure and sturdy. Look for solid construction and slats that are less than 2.4 inches apart.

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

1. Sturdy

The majority of a baby's time is spent in their time in the crib, so it's important to choose a crib that's sturdy enough. Look for cribs that meet safety regulations and standards established by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Consumer Product Safety Commission, which are focused on structural integrity. Also, you should avoid cribs with older models that could have loose parts or rough areas that could cause harm to your little one.

Avoid cribs with slats too close to each other, since this can cause the child to suffocate. Also, you should look for a crib that does not feature decorative cut-outs or drop sides, as these can pose an hazard for your child.

Avoid finishes that contain volatile compounds (VOCs) because they may affect your baby’s breathing and sleeping. Instead, opt for cribs that are certified with Greenguard Gold and uses non-toxic materials. It's also beneficial to select a crib with a minimal footprint, since it can reduce the space in your nursery and limit dust accumulation.

DaVinci Kalani is an excellent choice for a sturdy baby crib because it meets all of our criteria. It's easy to clean, doesn't have any exposed hardware that might get stuck on toys or clothing and looks fantastic in all rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't include a toddler rail and doesn't have the same amount of slats like other cribs on this list.

Another recommended crib is the Stork Craft Tuscany. It's more expensive than other cribs, but it meets all of our criteria and is easy to put together. It has only three levels of mattress, which is fewer than other cribs. If you plan to use the crib for several years it could be better suited to your needs.

2. Easy to Assemble

In contrast to larger cribs the majority of modern Mini Cot Bed cribs don't require a full day to put together. They're ready to use right out of the box, taking just about 30 minutes to assemble with the tools provided. Some have a built in toddler bed conversion kit, which saves you from having to buy separate pieces.

Of course, you should always ensure that the crib is properly assembled without gaps or rough areas that could snag your baby. You should also pay attention to the quality of the hardware, specifically bolts and screws. Make sure you tighten them up securely but not too much as this can cause the wood to crack or strip threads. Also consider a solid-wood crib, which is considered safer than metal.

If you're considering a crib that needs assembly, look for one with simple and straightforward instructions. Some manufacturers provide an instructional video that can be helpful for those who might not be accustomed to working with furniture components. A good guide will also include a list of essential tools, like washers and screws.

In addition to the design, size is a different aspect to consider. A crib should be large enough to accommodate your child, but not so large that it won't fit through an ordinary doorway. Be cautious when using hand-me-downs, as older cribs may not meet current safety standards.

The Storkcraft Equinox 3-in-1 is a great choice for those who want a modern, sleek crib. It has three different mattress height settings and is made of durable and sustainable New Zealand pinewood. It is more exposed to metal hardware than other options on the market. Some customers also complained that the instructions and the incorrectly labeled pieces made it difficult to put together.

3. Convertible

If you're looking for a crib which will last through the age of toddlers and beyond, look into one that can be converted into an adult-sized bed or a daybed. If you're seeking a crib that will last through the age of three and beyond, think about getting one that converts into a full-sized bed or daybed. This will save you money and space, and make it easier to change the mattress as your child grows.

Most cribs that transform into a full-size bed seem like a gimmick--you just take the side off and replace it with a larger rail -- Oeuf has designed a stylish high-quality crib that can transform into a bed frame. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified, minimal, and looks nice in almost any nursery. You can also combine it with matching trundle cot beds or dressers for a seamless look.

This crib is more substantial than other cribs in our tests. It might take up more space in your nursery, but it will last for years. Parent testers say it's sturdy and easy to put together even for those who aren't skilled. It also has three adjustable mattress heights which allows you to start your Baby Cot off in a low position that is easy for caregivers to lift and then raise as they grow older.

This crib that converts to a convertible is more traditional than the other cribs on this list. It's ideal for parents who are seeking a crib that will be a part of the formal nursery. It's also easy to set up and comes with a set of toddler-sized rails that convert, eliminating the need to shop for those separately. The only drawback is that it has some exposed hardware, which might be a problem for some.

4. Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly cribs are a win-win for everyone. They provide a safe, comfortable sleeping space for your child and promote sustainable environmental practices. Other cribs can contain harmful chemicals and emissions as well as toxins such as PVC, MDF, phthalate and lead. Eco-friendly cribs are constructed of solid wood, sustainable and renewable materials and have simple designs. They are typically easy to assemble and convert, and a few include a changing tray or dresser attached that can save space in the nursery.

Some brands offer eco-friendly cribs that can be converted into a toddler bed or a full-sized bed. Some cribs may have extra features like an integrated changing tables or storage compartments. They must be durable and strong enough to withstand the rigors of daily usage and cleaning. The best eco-friendly cribs are made of non-toxic, organic materials and have a low-VOC finish.

An excellent example of an eco-friendly crib is the Bloom Alma crib. The model is constructed of sustainable birchwood, and is free of toxic components or finishes. It is Greenguard Certified and meets all safety standards. It is a good choice for parents looking for an eco-friendly crib that offers modern, sleek design and is easy to clean.

Another alternative is the Namesake crib, which offers a timeless style and high-quality construction at an affordable price. The sturdy slats that are constructed of high-quality wood, are Greenguard Gold certified to have low chemical emissions. The crib also features an optional reflux leg that can be attached to the side of the crib to create a gentle slope for babies suffering from reflux.

5. Safety First

Safety should be the primary priority when selecting a crib. Make sure that the crib is well-constructed and sturdy, with solid hardware and firmly fitted fittings. Also, ensure that it complies with the current CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines: Less than 2.375 inches of space between the slats (that's about the width of a soda container), no decorative cutout designs on the footboard or headboard, and corner posts that are flush with the end panels or very tall--anything in between poses an opportunity for strangulation.

Likewise make sure that all toys are away from the crib since they can be choking or risk of suffocation. Choose a baby monitor with a clear line of sight to ensure it does not hinder your view. Also, ensure that all cords are out of reach of your child and securely attached. Do not place blankets, pillows or even positioners in the crib. These items could pose the risk of choking or suffocation and could be thrown off by your child or pushed down by older siblings.

Also, do not use old cribs as they may have construction elements that are outdated and could cause injuries. Even if the crib appears in good condition, it may have slats that are not wide or may be missing hardware. Old cribs can also have lead-based paint or unsafe bolts and screws.

The Stork Craft Evolur is an excellent value, however it may be too much to those who prefer a minimalist style. 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 without the bells and whistles.
