|
||||
Safety
|
||||
|
||||
When buying a crib, it is important to consider the level of safety that the crib is. It may seem insignificant, but every aspect of the crib's design has to be geared towards safety. For instance the slats must not be greater than 3/8 inches apart (about the width of a soda container) or the corners should not go over the top rail of the mattress support. Additionally, there should not be any decorative cutouts that can cause a baby's arms or head to get caught. It is recommended to opt for new products that meet current safety standards, although should you choose to use secondhand equipment, make sure it's not been subject to recall and is in compliance with all guidelines of the manufacturer.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, be sure to send in the product registration card that typically includes cribs and other baby gear, so that you will be informed in the event of a recall. It's also an excellent idea to be aware of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich maneuver in the event of emergency.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are choosing a crib, be careful not to place plush toys or other soft items inside the crib with the baby. These toys could suffocate the infant and raise the chance of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. In the same way cribs should not be surrounded by any bumpers or pillows, which can lead to the infant being suffocated.
|
||||
|
||||
In the end, you should pick a crib that has two or four height settings. This allows you to lower the mattress as your child grows, to prevent them from climbing out of the crib or getting injured if they fall while trying to stand or crawl. The mattress support is usually set at the highest level for infants. However it is recommended to lower it as your child grows.
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to inspect the crib on a regular basis for any loose or cracked hardware. Bolts and nails can become loose over time, so it is important to inspect on a regular basis.
|
||||
|
||||
Easy Assembly
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest cribs to assemble are those that have frame-and-panel construction for three sides of the crib as well as bars on the front. This type of crib is simple to put together and does not require a complicated joinery. If you're a DIYer, this crib model is also simple to paint or stain. The most important thing to remember when putting together a crib is to follow the instructions thoroughly. It could put your baby's life in danger in the event that you fail to follow one step. Most of the cribs you buy will come with a set of instructions, but it's worth an internet search to get more details on the specific crib you're using.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are choosing a crib it is important to consider the ease with which it can be moved. The majority of cribs are too large to fit through most standard doorways and you'll have to disassemble it in order to move it from one place in your home to another. This can be a pain and cause frustration, especially when you're trying get your child to sleep.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're on the hunt for a crib that is easily moved, you should look for an option with wheels or stand. Those options will make it much easier to move from room to room and help keep the crib clean and safe. Also, make sure to choose a crib with minimalist design. You can then easily decorate it according to your nursery theme.
|
||||
|
||||
A good crib is simple to put together and can be disassembled for storage. It's also lightweight and easy to move, so you can put it together in just a few minutes. The best cribs will also include all the necessary hardware that means you don't need to search for extra parts. However, be sure to check the hardware on a regular basis since nails and bolts may wiggle loose with use.

||||
|
||||
Cost
|
||||
|
||||
You can find cribs that are affordable. If you're looking to purchase an item that will last for years to come, choose one that has a timeless design and a solid construction. Avoid particle boards and look for quality wood. Also, avoid cutouts or rough areas that could be a choking risk for your child.
|
||||
|
||||
Think about buying an infant crib that grows with your child. It could be one that can convert into a toddler's crib, and then into a larger bed. This way, you won't have to buy a separate bed as your child grows older.

Some cribs feature the option of rocking that parents find soothing for infants with reflux or colic.
|
||||
|

The drawback to these cribs is that they are larger than standalone cribs, meaning they will occupy more space in your home. It is necessary to disassemble the cribs if you are planning to move them.
