You need a crib that is sturdy and safe. Look for solid construction and slats less than 2.4 inches apart.

One of our favorite choices is the Stokke Sleepi Crib. It includes four mattress heights and is made of sustainable and renewable New Zealand Pinewood. It comes with a toddler's bed.

1. Sturdy

A baby spends most of their time in their crib, so it is important to choose a crib that is solid enough. Look for cribs which meet the safety standards and regulations established by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Product Safety Commission and focus on structural integrity. Avoid cribs with loose parts or rough surfaces which could hurt your child.

Avoid cribs with slats that are too close to each other, since this can cause suffocation. Also, you should look for a crib that does not include decorative cut-outs, or drop sides, since these features can be an hazard for your child.

Also, stay clear of finishes that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) because they can affect your baby's breathing and sleep. Choose a crib certified with Greenguard Gold that uses non-toxic materials. Pick a crib with tiny footprint to help minimize space and dust build-up in your nursery.

DaVinci Kalani is an excellent choice for a sturdy crib for your baby because it meets all of our criteria. It is easy to clean and doesn't include exposed hardware that can be in the way of toys or clothing. It also looks fantastic in all rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't include an infant rail and doesn't have the same amount of slats as other cribs on this list.

Stork Craft Tuscany is another crib we would recommend. It's more expensive than other cribs, but it meets all of our criteria and is easy to assemble. It also only has three mattress height levels which is less than other cribs, but it's a good choice in the event that you plan to let your child use the crib for a few years and want it to last longer.

2. Easy to Assemble

Many modern mini cribs do not need an entire day of assembly, unlike some larger cribs. They're usually ready for use straight out of the box and take only 30 minutes to put together using the included tools. Some come with a built-in toddler bed conversion kit that saves you from the need to purchase separate pieces.

You should always make sure that the crib is well-assembled and that there are no gaps or rough surfaces that could catch a baby. Be sure to check the quality and quantity of the hardware such as screws and bolts. Make sure they're securely tightened, but don't over-tighten them, which could cause cracked wood or stripped threads. Find a solid wood crib since it is believed to be more secure than metal.

Look for cribs that have simple and clear instructions. Some manufacturers offer a video tutorial for those who are not used to working with furniture pieces. A good guide will also include a list of essential tools, like screws and washers.

Besides design, size is an additional consideration. A crib should be big enough for your baby cots on sale but not so large that it will not fit through the standard doorway. Be cautious when using hand-me-downs as older cribs might not meet the latest safety standards.

The Storkcraft Equinox 3 in 1 is a great option for parents who are looking for a sleek and modern crib. It comes with three mattress heights and is made of durable, sustainable New Zealand pinewood. It is more exposed to metal hardware than other options on the list. Some customers also complained that the instructions and mislabeled pieces made it more difficult to put together.

3. Convertible

Unlike strollers and car seats cribs aren't equipped with a lot of "features." However this doesn't mean that parents shouldn't consider other factors like design, cost and the length of time the crib will last. Consider a convertible crib if you want a crib to last until the age of toddlerhood. This will reduce your costs and space, and make it easier to swap out the mattress as your child develops.

While most cribs which transform into full-size beds are an afterthought, you simply remove the side and replace it by a longer rail, Oeuf has created a stylish crib that can be turned into bed frames. It's GREENGUARD Gold certified minimal and can be incorporated into almost every nursery. You can also combine it with matching trundle beds or dressers for a seamless look.

This crib is more robust than other cribs in our tests. It might take up more space in your nursery, but it's going to last for years. Parents have praised it as sturdy and easy to put together, even for those who aren't handy. It also features three adjustable mattress heights. This lets you start your baby in a seated position which is simple for caregivers to handle and then raise the mattress as they grow older.

This convertible crib is more traditional than the other two cribs on this list. It's a great choice for parents who are seeking a crib that will be a part of an elegant nursery. It's also easy to put together and comes with a set of toddler conversion rails, which eliminates the need to shop for those separately. It does feature exposed metal hardware, which may be a problem for some people.

4. Eco-Friendly

Eco-friendly cribs are a win-win scenario, providing a safe and secure sleeping environment for your child while also encouraging sustainable environmental practices. They are free of harmful emissions and chemicals that are found in other cribs, and also toxins like PVC, phthalate MDF and lead. Eco-friendly cribs are generally made of solid wood or sustainable and renewable materials, and a lot of them have a minimal design to reduce the impact on the environment. They are easy to assemble and convert, and some come with a dresser or changing tray attached. This can help save space.

Certain brands have eco-friendly cribs that can be transformed into a toddler bed or a full-sized bed. They might also come with additional features, such as a built-in changing table, or storage compartments. Regardless of their ability to convert they must be strong and durable enough to stand up to regular use and frequent cleaning. The most eco-friendly cribs for babies are constructed of non-toxic organic materials with low-VOC coatings.

Bloom Alma crib is a great example of a eco-friendly crib. The model is constructed from sustainable birchwood, and it has no harmful finishes or components. It is Greenguard Certified for low chemical emissions and it meets all safety standards. It is a great choice for parents looking for an eco-friendly crib with an elegant, modern design and is easy to clean.

Another option is the Namesake crib, which has a timeless style and high-quality construction at an affordable price. The sturdy slats made of high-quality wood, are Greenguard Gold certified to have low levels of chemical emissions. The crib also comes with an optional reflux leg that can be attached to the side of the crib to create a gentle slope for babies who have reflux.

5. Safety First

When you are choosing a crib safety should be the top priority. Make sure that the crib is well-built and sturdy, with solid hardware and fittings that are securely fitted. Check that it meets the current CPSC guidelines. This includes: less than 2.375 inches between the slats, no decorative cutouts in the headboard or footboard and corner posts that are aligned with the end panels of the crib, or very tall. Anything in between poses a danger of strangulation.

Keep all toys away from the crib, as they pose the risk of choking or suffocation. If you want to use a baby monitor, make sure you choose one that is clear of sight, so it doesn't block your view. Also, ensure that all cords are not within reach of your child and securely attached. Do not place blankets, pillows or positioners inside the crib. These can cause suffocation and choking risks and could be thrown off by your baby or pulled down by older siblings.

Also, do not use old cribs because they could have outdated construction features that can cause injuries. Even if the crib is in excellent condition, the slats may be too wide or it could be lacking hardware. Old recommended cribs may also have lead-based paint, or loose, dangerous bolts and screws.

The Stork Craft Evolur comes with a variety of features at a great price, but it may be too much for those who want a simple design. Other options like the Dream On Me Ashton 4 in 1 or the DaVinci Collby by Carter 4-in 1 have a similar style but with fewer bells and whistles.
