Safety

Follow the safe sleeping guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics when assembling and positioning your child's crib. It is important to stay clear of putting anything in the crib of your baby that could potentially cause harm or injury such as blankets, pillows as well as sheepskins, stuffed toys and bumper pads (see our complete guide to safe sleeping for more information). Your baby should not sleep with any teddy bears dolls, or stuffed animals that are larger than 15 inches. These items could easily fall into or be trapped between your baby and the crib bars or they could be engulfed by the mattress.

The best cribs for babies are made of safe materials that are free from VOCs and other harmful chemicals. They also comply with strict federal and state regulations for structural safety.

Style

While all cribs must adhere to strict safety standards, there are a lot of design differences. Some of the differences are cosmetic, like whether the slats all have the same length, or are spaced closer apart, while others could impact the ease to clean and use the crib. Some features, like finials and drop sides aren't safe and should be avoided as well. Other features, such as adjustable mattress height and casters/wheels--are popular with parents.

One thing to keep in mind is that a crib should be used only for infant sleep, so it's not an area to store clothes or toys. You can also put the crib on your registry to seek help from family and friends in the event that you require one.
