Most Recommended Cribs

A crib is among the most important purchases you can make for your nursery. There are a variety of options available for you to choose from an elegant crib with a minimalistic design or one that can be converted into a daybed or toddler bed.

But before you buy, look for these important aspects:

1. Stokke Sleepi Bed

The crib is the most important piece of equipment for babies that parents must consider when purchasing the first baby. It's the place where your child will sleep and it should be functional, beautiful and, above all else secure and comfortable for your baby. Convertible cribs are the best option because they will grow with your baby from the earliest days until they transition to the big kid bed. This will ease sleep transitions and ensure that your child has a safe, comfortable sleeping area throughout their entire childhood.

The Stokke Sleepi Bed is a unique crib that expands with your child. It has a beautiful curved design that's reminiscent of the womb-like environment. The mattress is breathable for maximum air circulation and comes with an easy-to-clean cover that is hypoallergenic.

This crib is also sustainably produced and meets all British and European safety standards. It's more expensive than cosleeper cots and smaller cribs but it can be a good fit with your child to five years of age if you purchase the Junior Extension Kit.

Stokke Sleepi Beds have locking swivel casters with lockable swivels that make them easy to move in and out of the room. It also features an adjustable bed base that can be adjusted in height. It comes with four different levels of mattress.

3. Babyletto Hudson

Babyletto's nursery furniture line blends modern, playful design with materials that are safe and renewable. The Hudson is a great choice for anyone who wants to create a sleek and modern look at an affordable price. In addition, the crib grows as your baby grows from newborn to toddler, and can be transformed into a 3-in-1 convertible crib as well as a daybed and toddler bed with an included conversion kit.

This crib is constructed of eco-friendly non-toxic wood that has been screened to remove harmful chemicals. It also comes with GREENGUARD Gold certification. It is also FSC-certified, meaning that it was sourced from forests managed to achieve environmental, economic and social benefits.

All Babyletto cribs are thoroughly tested and are in compliance with (and often surpass) all the safety standards set by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association and Consumer Product Safety Commission. It is crucial to ensure that the slats on your crib are not larger than 2 and 3/8ths of an inch to ensure that your baby won't get trapped between them. We also suggest that you choose a crib that's JPMA-certified and register it as soon as you can so that, should there any recalls in the future, you'll be notified of a replacement or warning quickly.

If you're looking to keep your babe's necessities for nighttime make sure to pair this crib with the matching Hudson Nightstand. It's made of the same durable wood, but with playful angular feet and a modern silhouette. Plus, it's GreenGuard Gold certified, meaning that it's screened for 10,000 VOCs and chemicals that can pollute indoor air.

4. Babyletto Hudson Convertible Crib

With its timeless mid-century modern design and flared tapered legs the Hudson crib is both classy and playful. It's designed for your child's growth and includes a conversion kit that allows it to easily transition from a midi bed into a toddler bed or daybed. It also has Greenguard Gold certification for indoor air quality and utilizes sustainably sourced New Zealand pine.

In our crib tests We found that the Hudson was a very solid crib with a well-formed corner as well as an slat area that is tight (less than 2.4") which will reduce the risk of SIDS as well as strangulation or entrapment. The design is simple and can be a perfect match for any nursery decor. The color options are also on par with the furniture you have in your room.

Another great aspect about this crib is that it is easy to put together. It scored 9/10 on our crib assembly test. This test measures the time it takes to lay out the pieces and then assemble them and also the clarity, accuracy and clearness of the instructions, and whether the appropriate hardware is included.

In a convertible crib, it is crucial to ensure that the mattress height can be adjusted as your baby grows. This will ensure that they are comfortable and that you don't have to purchase a new mattress when they begin to sit up. This feature is typically found on premium and deluxe cribs, but it is an option on certain cribs that are simple. When shopping for a new crib, we suggest that you search for a crib with this feature. It will be extremely useful for your baby throughout his or her sleep time.
